Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday/...
Issued at 517 AM MDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Most of the thunderstorms were pushing to the south and east, and
the threat of any severe storms is going rapidly with it. However,
there may still be a few showers or even an isolated storm around
this morning. Areas of stratus with MVFR/IFR ceilings are expected
to gradually lift through 18Z. That`s when things for storms get
interesting again. A shortwave will move across the area, likely
sparking another round of storms. Those could start as early as
19Z and then organize into a linear storm complex which would
potentially produce high winds and less extensive large hail as
they move east across the I-25 Corridor. We have beefed up the
winds for now to ~G40kts for a most likely scenario in a TEMPO
group, but a 10-20% of reaching severe thresholds (50 kts) at
KDEN. We think the main threat of storms would be pushing east of
the TAF sites by 22-23Z, but still a chance of a lingering
shower/isolated storm til 02Z Wednesday. Then gradual clearing and
lighter drainage winds developing beyond 02Z.

KCOS and KPUB: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours.
Brief periods of MVFR to IFR conditions will be possible at both TAF
sites due to thunderstorms as they impact the terminals, especially
for KCOS. In addition to that, some thunderstorms may become strong
to severe early this afternoon, with the greatest hazards being
strong outflow winds up to 70 mph and large hail to around 3 inches
possible. After the afternoon thunderstorms, dry conditions are
expected through tomorrow morning, with light and variable winds.
KALS: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. Winds will
increase through the afternoon as deep diurnal mixing become
established. Winds will steadily lessen heading into the evening
hours, with light and variable winds then prevailing into tomorrow
morning. Otherwise, dry conditions with periods of mid to high level
clouds are expected.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 501 AM MDT Tue Jun 17 2025
VFR flight conditions are forecast this TAF period. A cold front
trekking across the region today will bring shower and thunderstorm
chances to all east of the Divide terminals. Thunderstorm
chances increase at KCOD beginning around 19Z followed by all
other east of the Divide terminals after 21Z. Thunderstorm
chances are reflected in a PROB30 group given the scattered
nature of convection and uncertainty in exact timing and direct
impacts. Any thunderstorms will be capable of producing gusty
outflows around 30 kts. An isolated stronger storm could produce
wind gusts up to 50 kts with large hail. A brief period of MVFR
visibilities cannot be ruled out with a heavier storm.
Thunderstorm chances diminish at all terminals by sunset.
Otherwise, winds increase at all terminals from the north or
northwest around 18Z. All west of the Divide terminals plus KRIW and
KWRL can expect gusts ranging from around 20-30kts. Winds decrease
around sunset at all terminals. There is potential for low clouds,
represented by a FEW020 group, at KCPR around sunset, however,
reduced flight conditions chances are low (20%) at this time.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Issued at 529 AM MDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Active aviation forecast as convection remains ongoing in portions
of southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska. Low stratus will be
possible with the storms this morning, potentially leading to
MVFR conditions. Multiple rounds of storms will be possible at
most terminals throughout the day. Storms could contain damaging
winds and large hail. Heavy rain is also possible which will
cause reduced visibility at times. Most storms will move out of
the area by late this evening.

Issued at 637 AM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Periodic rain and thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to
severe, will hamper aviation operations through the next 24
hours.
Early this morning, expansive rain and thunderstorms stretch
from near KONL southwest through KLBF and into northeast
Colorado. Expectation is for this activity to gradually move
into the LBF terminal later this morning. This will likely clear
up around midday with a considerable break before the second
round which should impact VTN as well. For now, confidence in
this second round is limited but should it materialize severe
weather including strong wind gusts will be possible. Activity
should subside by early morning Wednesday with low stratus
possible in northerly flow.

At GLD, the primary concern will be the potential for redeveloping
thunderstorm activity capable of producing periods of IFR visibilities
and lower ceilings to around 2000 feet. Gusty winds over 40 knots
could also be a concern as the storms move through. The primary
threat for thunderstorm activity at GLD will be between 23z and 02z
once temperatures rise enough to support additional convective
development. By 03z, the convective threat should be over and a
much drier and more stable airmass will begin to move into the area.
This will result in prevailing VFR conditions from 03z through the
end of the TAF period.
At MCK, the convective threat is substantially lower this afternoon
into this evening due to the very stable rain-cooled airmass in place.
Full recovery is not expected this afternoon, so there is no mention
of thunderstorms in the forecast. At most, some passing light rain
showers could push visibility down to MVFR range for a few hours
between 01z and 06z. Light boundary layer flow around daybreak
tomorrow will combine with higher soil moisture content to support
some patchy fog development between 10z and 14z.

Low to mid level clouds continue across southwest Kansas after
an outflow boundary earlier this morning passed through central
Kansas. MVFR flight category for LBL, GCK, and DDC are expected
through 21Z.
For HYS...a second outflow boundary is moving through central
Kansas and could lead to VCTS between 18-21Z.
For DDC...as the outflow boundary moves south and east we could
see VCTS near the terminal between 21Z-03Z. The better
confidence of storms will be south and east of DDC.
Post storm clouds should continue through at least 03Z which
could lead to MVFR flight category for all terminals and then
after 03Z we should see VFR flight category for the rest of the
time period.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 517 AM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
VFR conditions generally expected to prevail through the 12Z TAF
period. The one caveat will be the potential for thunderstorms,
mainly for KGUY after 00Z Wed. Confidence is low enough at this
time to not mention thunder in the TAF. Thunder may need to be
added in subsequent TAF issuances if confidence increases.
Southerly winds will shift to the north for KDHT and KGUY ahead of
a push of cooler air behind a cold front. Northerly winds for the
entire combined OK/TX Panhandle are expected after 00Z Wed.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1015 AM MDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Breezy to gusty west winds prevail across the region today, except
across the northeast where winds have already turned northerly
with the passage of a backdoor front. This front will stall this
afternoon, eventually surging south and westward after 00Z. This
will create gusty west north to northeast winds at eastern sites
and a low-end gap wind that will affect KABQ. Due to the lack of
convection to aid its progress, there is only a very low chance
(<10%) that an AWW will be needed. There is also a low chance of
IFR cigs developing in the eastern plains and highlands adjacent
to the central mountain chain, but very few models are showing
much of anything developing so no low cigs were added to any
TAFs.
