Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 242 PM MDT Thu Apr 18 2024
Active pattern with low ceilings, periodic drizzle or light rain,
with eventually snow returning to the TAF sites at the every end of
the forecast period Friday evening.
Latest radar imagery depicting continued drizzle and light rain
across all of the terminals, with observational data indicating any
snow remaining confined to the higher terrain. While coverage of the
drizzle or light rain should decrease this evening, still think it
will be occasionally observed for much of the night. Some guidance
showing a possibility for a small window of snow very late tonight
into early Friday morning, but think there is a very low chance of
this occurring at this time. Vis under this precip should be 6 miles
or more but by late evening, will see vis begin to fall, with vis 3-
5sm appearing likely under additional BR development later tonight
into Friday morning. The improvement to higher end MVFR ceilings
this afternoon should be the last of any improvement, as a slow
downward trend is likely once again tonight into Friday morning.
While can`t completely rule out a return to IFR ceilings, think a
more likely solution at this point is MVFR ceilings in the 1kft to
2kft range. A general light easterly wind component looks to remain
in place into this evening, however, more variable winds are
possible later tonight before shifting to the north Friday morning.
Drizzle or rain chances look low Friday morning at this point, but
if lower ceilings are in place than currently forecast, would not be
surprised to see continued development. A slow improving trend with
ceilings and vis is likely through early to mid afternoon Friday, as
northerly winds steadily increase. Rain will return to the terminals
by mid to late afternoon and will assist with lowering ceilings
during that time, with this trend continuing into the evening as
snow becomes more likely.

KALS: VFR through 24 hours. Breezy southeast winds will turn more
westerly tomorrow, gusting to 25 knots or so in the afternoon as mid-
level clouds persist across the area. Winds will turn back to the
southeast after sunset towards the end of this forecast period.
KCOS and KPUB: Winds this evening will continue to be from the east-
southeast, with low clouds expected to stick around through the
forecast period. Clouds will generally stick to MVFR. Tomorrow
afternoon, winds will turn more easterly and kick up to around 15
knots. Additionally, showers will begin to move off of the Palmer
Divide area after 00Z, drifting near KCOS first and then KPUB an
hour or two later. Left as VCSH for now, but if data is consistent
overnight we could be expecting rain at the two TAF sites near the
end of this forecast period, late tomorrow afternoon into the
evening.

remain place across central Utah through the TAF period. South of
the boundary, southern Utah will maintain southwesterly winds
while north of the boundary expect mainly northerly component
winds to dominate. On Friday, a few isolated/scattered showers

Sites remain VFR this evening, with only a few sites holding
some midlevel cloud cover above 5000 feet. Any sites with cloud
cover will remain above this level overnight, with no fog
formation expected. Cloud cover will continue to fluctuate into
the day Friday, but remaining well above the VFR cutoff
level. Some isolated shower activity may develop along the
higher terrains during the afternoon, but are not expected to
impact local airports. Winds will remain light for all sites
through 00z/20, but some gusty northeast winds may kick up at
KCPR and KRKS beyond that into the overnight hours Friday
night/Saturday morning.

Another weather disturbance will slide north from CO overnight.
We will see MVFR and IFR CIGs overnight for KLAR and KCYS
through Friday morning, with low end VFR for the remaining
terminals through the forecast period. Included a brief timeline
of MVFR for KSNY on Friday morning, but confidence is low to
medium on this happening. Wind gusts for KCDR and KAIA of 20-25
knots this evening should dissipate by 2z. KCDR will see
elevated winds pick back up Friday afternoon to 20-25 knots. All
other remaining terminals will see wind of 12 knots or less
through the forecast period.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 549 PM MDT Thu Apr 18 2024
A moist backdoor front that banked up along the east slopes of the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains today, and still extends southward
from LVS to the Lincoln and Chaves County border, will surge
westward with sunset through gaps in the central mountain chain
producing a gusty east canyon wind in the central valley tonight
into early Friday morning from Santa Fe southward, including
Carrizozo. With low level convergence under an upper level trough
approaching from the west the potential exists for gusts to 35
knots at KABQ, but at this time models generally agree on winds
staying lighter than that. Moist easterly upslope flow on the
eastern plains is forecast to produce areas of MVFR and IFR
conditions in low clouds tonight mainly over northeast and east
central areas. There is a chance that low clouds will produce MVFR
conditions as far south and west as KROW from early to late
morning on Friday, but the chance was too low to include in the
00Z TAF. RH progs suggest a better chance that low clouds will
work their way through gaps in the central mountain chain over
KSAF toward sunrise on Friday. The low clouds should burn off
across central and east by early afternoon on Friday, but the low
level moisture will stay in place with another round of low
clouds likely along the east slopes of the central mountain chain
Friday night. The aforementioned upper trough will then work with
this moisture to produce showers and thunderstorms across the
eastern plains Friday night into Saturday.
