Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion
Issued at 2100 UTC Monday, June 16, 2025
.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday/...
Issued at 1135 AM MDT Mon Jun 16 2025
VFR conditions are expected through this evening. Isolated high
based showers/storms are still possible this afternoon, with best
time frame being between 19Z and 01Z. If these showers/storms
materialize, gusty VRB outflows will be the main concern. Tonight,
winds will not be able to turn to drainage due to a cold front
moving in by 04/05Z. This will bring stratus/MVFR ceilings by 09Z
before lifting back to VFR conditions around 15/16Z.
Widespread showers/storms are expected tomorrow as early as 19Z,
bringing gusty VRB winds. However, some CAMs indicate an earlier
initiation time. Due to the high confidence, a TEMPO with
VRB15G30KT has been introduced into the TAF.

Main concern is a frontal boundary will be moving across the
KCOS and KPUB regions later tonight, this front is expected to
surge through KCOS around 09 UTC with gusty winds continuing
into mid morning, with upslope flow developing by late morning.
SOme thunder is quite likely after 21 UTC.
KPUB will be VFR through the period, although we may see some
thunder at the very end of this forecast period. Some gusty
north winds may develop after 09 UTC with winds eventually
becoming upslope by mid morning. There will be a chance of some
thunder by late tomorrow afternoon.
KALS will be VFR through the period with gusty SW winds in the
afternoon.

Generally southwesterly winds will continue to gust 25 to 35 mph
this evening, lessening after sunset and overnight and returning
to the typical terrain driven nature. A few spots may continue
to be breezy overnight like KMTJ which tends to have enhanced
downslope winds in southwest flow while KTEX experiences LLWS
due to stronger winds aloft moving overhead. SCT to BKN clouds
will continue this evening as a disturbance approaches and moves
through Tuesday afternoon. Breezy conditions pick up again
after 16Z Tuesday with gusts 25 to 35 mph once again especially
across SW Colorado. VFR conditions will prevail the next 24
hours.

will continue this evening as a disturbance approaches and moves
through Tuesday afternoon. Breezy conditions pick up again
after 16Z Tuesday with gusts 25 to 35 mph once again especially
across SW Colorado. VFR conditions will prevail the next 24
hours.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION...KSLC... Winds are expected to calm somewhat following
00z as they continue to transition to predominately northwesterly to
around 5kts by 06-07z. Winds will be light and variable through the
evening, though should remain mostly northwesterly into the morning.
During the day tomorrow, winds pick up once again out of the
northwest to around 10-12kts following 15z.
.AVIATION...REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING... All sites are
expected to shift to northwesterly this evening following the
passage of a dry frontal boundary with winds tapering off through
the overnight. Regarding KBCE, a fire is currently ongoing to the
southwest. In the next few hours, smoke could begin to settle
reducing ceilings and/or reducing visibilities overnight at the
terminal. There is some uncertainty surrounding this, so amendments
will likely be needed. Tomorrow afternoon, gusty northwest winds
will resume across all sites.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 430 PM MDT Mon Jun 16 2025
VFR prevails through the day Tuesday at all terminals. Ongoing
convection fizzles toward sunset Monday with gusty outflow wind
remaining the main aviation hazard. Outflow gusts of 30-40kts are
possible east of the Continental Divide, while a dry sub-cloud layer
leads to 40kt+ gusts with isolated weak convection over southwest
Wyoming. An active mid-level moisture stream in southwest flow aloft
will allow for light showers or virga to linger overnight until
around mid-morning Tuesday across mainly the south half of the
region. Shortwave energy tracking east through the region late
Tuesday morning into the afternoon triggers scattered showers and
thunderstorms along and east of the Divide after 20Z/Tuesday. PROB30
groups have been included at KCPR, KCOD, and KWRL. Convection could
also end up impacting KRIW given favored genesis region and
expected southeast movement through the Wind River Basin. Brief
heavy rain and gusty outflow wind to 35kts would be the primary
hazards Tuesday afternoon. Gusty westerly surface wind 15-25kts over
the southwest terminals decreases around 02Z/Tuesday before
returning as a gusty northwest wind around midday Tuesday.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence forecasts.

Zonal, or west to east, flow aloft will prevail, with several
disturbances in the flow helping to produce scattered showers
and thunderstorms tonight and Tuesday afternoon.
Wyoming TAFS...Scattered to broken clouds from 5000 to
15000 feet will prevail, with areas of fog from 09Z to 15Z at
Cheyenne, reducing visibilities to 5 miles and ceilings near
1500 feet. Thunderstorms will be in the vicinity of Cheyenne
until 01Z, with a chance of showers from 09Z to 12Z. Winds will
gust to 25 knots at Rawlins and Cheyenne until 02Z, and to
35 knots at Laramie until 14Z.
Nebraska TAFS...Scattered clouds from 5000 to 10000 feet will
occur until 09Z, then ceilings will lower to 1000 to 2500 feet
from 09Z until 15Z, then ceilings will be near 5000 feet.
Occasional thunderstorms will occur until 04Z, reducing
visibilities to 3 miles, with areas of fog and drizzle from
06Z to 15Z, reducing visibilities to 3 to 5 miles. Winds will
gust to 25 knots until 05Z.

Initial concerns for the 00Z TAF period will center around
thunderstorm development and associated impacts. Strong
thunderstorms have begun to develop along stationary front with
the most intense storms likely along and east of front/dryline
intersection near the NE/CO/KS border, with KMCK seeing the best
potential to be impacted before 06Z. Strong winds exceeding 40
kts, blowing dust, hail and periods of heavy rain will likely
bring MVFR to IFR conditions with the strongest storms. Outflow
may initiate a storm near KGLD before 03Z, but that is less
likely. After thunderstorms diminish after midnight, expect
stratus to overspread the area through the morning hours,
gradually breaking up with diurnal heating. Lower MVFR
conditions likely to be widespread around sunrise.

VFR will continue to prevail through this TAF period. Scattered
cumulus present at 22z will dissipate this evening. Models
suggest a thunderstorm complex originating in Nebraska/NW KS
will impact HYS during the 06-12z Tue time range. Included a
convective TEMPO group for this set of TAFs for HYS, but
LBL/GCK/DDC are expected to remain dry. South/southeast winds
gusting to near 30 kts currently will only marginally diminish
through sunset, with elevated southeast winds overnight outside
of any convection. A cold front is expected to provide a
northeast wind shift to the airports daytime Tuesday.

VFR conditions are expected through the period outside of any
isolated storms in the area. There will be a 40-50 kt low level
jet with core developing at around 1800-2000 FT AGL and this is
leading to a period of LLWS late tonight and early Tue at all TAF
sites with the LLWS level being around 1200 FT. There is a 20
percent chance of a storm at GUY this evening an tomorrow evening,
although there will likely be more storms in the area in general
tomorrow. Chances are too low to include in the TAFs and will
amened as needed.

Breezy southwest to west winds taper off for most just after
sunset. Winds will strengthen aloft ahead of an approaching
disturbance overnight, creating a period of some LLWS at KFMN,
KGUP, KABQ and KSAF after the boundary layer decouples late
tonight. Smoke from fires in the Gila mountains may create minor
visibility reductions in central NM again Tuesday morning. Deep
daytime mixing will mix stronger winds aloft down to the surface
resulting in breezy to locally windy west winds areawide. Hot
temperatures in the upper 90s to mid 100s will result in density
altitude concerns for smaller aircraft.
