Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday/...
Issued at 1032 AM MST Fri Dec 5 2025
VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. Winds are
currently light and variable at the terminals, but should attempt
to turn to some sort of easterly direction at DEN/APA later today.
A few westerly gusts could develop at BJC but confidence is fairly
low in that scenario. Other concern for today is a gradual
lowering of ceilings, with a few hours of BKN050-060 possible this
afternoon.
Drainage winds should develop tonight, but should transition to a
stronger west-northwesterly wind by the late morning hours. A few
gusts near 35-40kt are likely by 18z which should continue into
the afternoon hours.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1043 AM MST Fri Dec 5 2025
VFR conditions with high cloudiness will overspread the region
through Saturday at the terminals. KALS will see another round
of fog tonight with IFR to even LIFR conditions possible around
sunrise. Northwest to westerly drainage winds at KCOS and KPUB
should prevent fog formation but could cause some low level wind
shear towards dawn. Confidence is low that this will occur
within 2000 feet, so have not introduced low level wind shear
into the TAFs just yet, but this will be monitored and may
become necessary with the 00z TAF issuance. -KT

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 435 PM MST Fri Dec 5 2025
Low clouds linger across much of eastern Utah and western
Colorado, with many locations experiencing ceilings below
breakpoints. This will continue through the next 24 hours, as
the next storm moves in. Higher elevation sites and terminals
along and north of I-70 have the highest chances of seeing snow
beginning after 03z this evening, and lingering through 18z
tomorrow afternoon. Winds will be strong and northwesterly, with
gusts up to 25 knots possible for higher elevation terminals.
LLWS will be an issue for most terminals tonight. VFR to MVFR
conditions will prevail, with drops to IFR/LIFR likely,
especially for KASE, KTEX, and KHDN. Conditions will begin to
gradually improve after 18z tomorrow.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 435 PM MST Fri Dec 5 2025
Low clouds linger across much of eastern Utah and western
Colorado, with many locations experiencing ceilings below
breakpoints. This will continue through the next 24 hours, as
the next storm moves in. Higher elevation sites and terminals
along and north of I-70 have the highest chances of seeing snow
beginning after 03z this evening, and lingering through 18z
tomorrow afternoon. Winds will be strong and northwesterly, with
gusts up to 25 knots possible for higher elevation terminals.
LLWS will be an issue for most terminals tonight. VFR to MVFR
conditions will prevail, with drops to IFR/LIFR likely,
especially for KASE, KTEX, and KHDN. Conditions will begin to
gradually improve after 18z tomorrow.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Brief VFR conditions will transition to MVFR with
intermittent IFR conditions this evening and overnight for the KSLC
terminal. CIGs will lower this evening <3k feet as moisture
increases and rain moves into the terminal with snow levels
remaining 1-2k feet AGL. Expect mountain obscuration to persist.
Conditions begin drying early Saturday morning. Winds will remain
light and primarily out of the south.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...The northern airspace will
remain primarily in MVFR/IFR conditions as moisture pushes in this
afternoon/evening with valley rain and mountain snow along with
mountain obscuration. Snow levels will gradually rise from 5k feet
to 7k feet through the evening. Winds will be light and variable
across most terminals with stronger winds developing overnight
across the far northeastern airspace. Southern airspace will remain
dry with VFR conditions prevailing.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
A winter storm will continue to impact terminals across western
Wyoming. The next surge of more persistent snow is now moving in,
with KJAC back to MVFR conditions late this afternoon. This is
expected to quickly drop to IFR in the next hour or so. IFR
conditions are then expected to persist at KJAC through around
08Z Saturday before an improvement to MVFR with lingering snow
through the end of the period. KBPI and KPNA will also see
periods of MVFR/IFR tonight. KRKS may see a period of blowing
snow tonight which could lead to a stretch of MVFR to IFR
visibilities before sunrise. All terminals will see an
accompanying gusty wind, especially at KRKS which will see gusts
to 40 knots after 06Z. Wind will gradually decrease through
Saturday afternoon.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Wind will be the primary aviation concern east of the Divide as most
of the snow stays to the west. The strongest wind will come
overnight tonight through much of the rest of the period, most
notable at KCPR which will see gusts over 30 knots. Some snow will
make it east of the Divide, leading to occasional impacts at or near
terminals with the best chances at KCOD, KCPR, and KWRL after 04Z. A
gradual decrease in wind is expected through Saturday afternoon.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Light snow will slowly bring ceilings back down in RWL over the
next 6 hours today with MVFR from about midnight to sunrise.
Winds frequently gusting over 30-40kts in RWL, LAR, and CYS by
06z onwards and 20-30kts for Nebraska sites after 06z. Wind
shear will be prevalent for all sites (minus possibly AIA and
CDR) beyond midnight, predominately Westerly or NW in direction
and 35-50kts in magnitude. Other than RWL and LAR all sites
staying above MVFR thresholds for visibility and ceiling but
still seeing ceilings drop to 4-8kft for most at some point in
the period.

VFR conditions will continue through the remainder of Friday for
area terminals.
Attention quickly turns to an approaching disturbance bringing
the threat of wintry precipitation to the area tomorrow.
Previous thoughts of more localized coverage are now trending
towards more widespread, though brief, impacts. Have included a
mention at LBF now for a few hours post-sunrise Saturday.
Greater impacts appear likely at VTN with IFR now in the
forecast. Believe a transition from snow to rain may contain
some ice potential, but will withhold this from the forecast for
now until confidence increases. Expect a quick improvement by
late in the period with an end to precipitation but lingering
low clouds.

VFR conditions forecast for the TAFs. Breezy winds will subside
around 22z. Toward 12z LLWS is forecast for KMCK as the low
level jet moves through ahead of a trough. Behind the trough
southerly winds will turn to the southwest then west. There may
be some light snow/rain occur after 12z for KMCK. At this time
confidence for any precipitation occurring is 20%. Confidence is
even lower the precipitation will lower conditions below VFR.

modified cold front will sweep east across western Kansas late
in the period Saturday afternoon, resulting in a wind shift to
the west and eventually northwest.
