Currently, a westward moving boundary is moving across the
eastern Greater Denver area. However, by DIA the boundary is
nearly stationary. Models never show normal drainage wind patterns
at DIA overnight. There is a surge of slightly cooler air
expected to get into DIA around 05Z-06Z. Upstream observation
confirm this upcoming wind shift. There is an area of showers and
a few thunderstorms embedded to the north-northwest of DIA at
current time. This should also help ensure the northerly winds in
a around three hours or so. Will leave the drainage winds out
overnight. I left the PROB30 for VRB15G30KT winds this evening
with the isolated convection expected across northeast the area.
There should not be any ceiling issues at DIA overnight. Perhaps a
deck of clouds around SCT-BKN080 at the lowest.

Shower and thunderstorm activity has diminished across much of
the region, but may continue through the evening. Tomorrow will
bring another round of isolated to widely scattered afternoon
convection. PROB30 has been included for sites where confidence
is higher. The primary concerns will be lightning and strong
outflow gusts near any showers or thunderstorms. Smoke from the
Derby Fire will continue to impact KASE and KEGE, potentially
dropping visibilities at times. VFR conditions are expected to
prevail and winds will become light overnight.

.AVIATION...Friday 22/00Z through Saturday 23/00Z...VFR conditions
expected outside of MVFR ceilings/visibilities in heavier
TSRA/SHRA. Scattered convection will continue through at least
06Z, with a few light showers possibly continuing overnight.
Outside of gusty/erratic outflow winds, look for variable winds
generally 5-15 kts.
OUTLOOK...Saturday 23/00Z through Monday 25/00Z...Daily chances for
showers/storms will continue each afternoon/evening. Main hazards
will be heavy rain, small hail, gusty/erratic winds, and
lightning. Outside of storm development, look for VFR conditions
and winds 10 kts or less varying in direction.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 359 PM MDT Thu Aug 21 2025
VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the period. The main
concern will be any showers and thunderstorms in the area, though
these will be fairly isolated and generally on the weaker side.
Still, outflow winds are again possible through the early evening
hours. This activity will end late this evening. Another surge of
cold air will move south into the area tonight through Friday
morning, bringing an increased northerly wind to KCOD. Showers and
thunderstorms will be less widespread on Friday, and currently there
is no mention of terminal impacts in TAFs for now. However, KCPR and
KRKS will be most likely to see an additional PROB30 or TEMPO group
in the future.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence forecasts.

High and mid level cloudiness will continue to increase into
the late evening and overnight hours across the area. There will
be a minor threat for thunderstorms late tonight in the
vicinity of the Valentine terminal. Current forecast confidence
is low as coverage of storms is expected to be isolated. The
greatest threat for thunderstorms in the vicinity of the KVTN
terminal will be from 09z to 14Z Friday. Beyond this time,
expect broken ceilings around 20000 FT AGL at the KLBF terminal
and 8000 to 10000 FT AGL at the KVTN terminal.
