Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion
Issued at 0530 UTC Tuesday, April 23, 2024
.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday/...
Issued at 1129 PM MDT Mon Apr 22 2024
VFR expected to prevail for all terminals this period. Another
frontal surge is expected to arrive around 09Z with a northerly
wind shift. Then winds may relax to more NW or even W 12Z-15Z,
before daytime heating/mixing allow a more northeast and eventual
easterly wind to persist most of the 15Z-03Z period. There is
still potential for enough low level moisture for mainly SCT
clouds around 3,000 ft AGL, but the upstream observations are not
very moist so the odds of a ceiling at that level are quite small
(<20%).
We`ll see scattered but mainly high based showers develop in the
area late in the afternoon and evening (21Z-05Z), and there`s
enough chance to warrant a PROB30 in the TAFs. The ceilings are
expected to hold mostly around 8,000 ft AGL, but with the
scattered showers around local ceilings down to 5,000 ft are
possible with Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC).

VFR conditions are expected at KALS, KCOS, and KPUB through 24
hours. At KALS, gusty west-southwest winds will set in tomorrow
afternoon to around 25 knots, lasting until evening. At KCOS and
KPUB, post-frontal winds will turn easterly overnight and
southeasterly tomorrow, gusting between 20-30 knots in the
afternoon. Mid-level clouds are expected at all three TAF sites,
with slightly lower cigs at KCOS and KPUB. Additionally, some
showers could be possible this evening over the mountains and the
Palmer Divide, but currently confidence in any impacts at the
terminals is too low to include in the TAFs.

VFR conditions will prevail through the period with wind remaining
on the lighter side for most terminals. A weak shortwave within the
westerly flow will bring some isolated showers to southwestern
Wyoming Tuesday afternoon. This could bring brief lower ceilings to
terminals as this activity moves to the northeast through Tuesday
evening, but confidence is too low (<20%) to include mentioning in
the forecast at this time. Otherwise, broken high clouds will move
in for the afternoon across the area.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

VFR conditions continue to remain forecasted at each terminal.
LLWS is seen on GLD VAD wind and looks to continue through
sunrise via RAP forecast soundings. KMCK is forecast to see LLWS
around 09Z. Each of the LLWS is from a deepening surface low in
SE Colorado/ SW Kansas. HREF has been hinting at some stratus
moving south out of the Nebraska Panhandle; but think it should
begin to dissipate as it moves towards the KGLD terminal. A
brief period of breezy winds sustained around 15 knots and then
weakening through the remainder of the afternoon.

VFR flying conditions this TAF cycle for all terminals. Current
breezy southerly winds will abruptly flip to north/northeast as
a cold front passes through southwest KS during the overnight
period, quickly followed by an increase into the 18-23 kt range
with gusts of 28-33 kts by sunrise. Mid-afternoon Tuesday,
winds will begin to relax as surface high pressure builds into
the central plains, becoming light and variable before midnight
Wednesday morning.

Winds continue to mix down to the surface at all terminals which
is allowing for southerly to southwesterly winds around 15 to 20
mph and gust nearing 30 mph. There is a small window after 9 to
10 UTC in which we do see winds weaken. However, a cold frontal
passage later this morning will see winds pick up once again out
of the north. Currently, latest TAF package has a rough timing of
the front with KGUY seeing it come in around 15Z, but potential
is present for the front come in an hour sooner. Regardless, all
terminals should remain VFR for the period.
