Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday/...
Issued at 539 PM MDT Mon Jul 20 2026
VFR conditions expected through at least 10Z. Winds are currently
from the east with speeds generally between 10-20 kts (BJC is
currently from the northwest due to an outflow boundary). Expect
this to continue through the evening, with a slight southeast wind
shift. There still remains a chance this evening (30% chance) that
nearby showers will produce gusty VRB outflows, thus have kept the
PROB30 in the TAF through 04Z. However, there could still be gusty
outflows through 06Z.
A `cool` front will arrive overnight tonight, sometime between
09Z-13Z which will bring more northerly winds to all terminals.
Guidance has indicated near-surface smoke to be advected into the
area behind this front through the morning hours, which could
bring IMC conditions. As winds shift to the southeast by late
morning/early afternoon, expect conditions to improve.
Another round of showers are possible in the late afternoon/early
evening timeframe tomorrow. Have introduced a PROB30, gusty
outflow winds of 25-30 kts expected with surrounding convection.

Issued at 511 PM MDT Mon Jul 20 2026
VFR conditions expected at the TAF sites over the next 24 hours
with dry conditions through this evening at KCOS, KALS and KPUB.
A frontal boundary will bring a northerly wind shift into KCOS
and KPUB around 06z. Gustier winds will spread in after 08z-09z
with gusts up to 25-30 kts possible at KCOS. For now, wind
gusts don`t look as strong at KPUB but this will be monitored
closely. Winds will shift out of the east to southeast at all
three terminals Tuesday afternoon with the best chance for -TSRA
at KALS and KCOS. Will carry a prob30 for both locations with
gusty outflow winds up to 30 kts and VFR cigs associated with
-TSRA. KPUB is more likely to remain dry. -KT

Showers and thunderstorms are expected through the afternoon,
evening, and early portion of the night. Stronger storms may
bring localized heavy rain capable of dropping vis to MVFR, and
cigs below ILS breakpoints. Near thunderstorms, gusty and
variable winds up to 30 kts will be possible as well. Overnight,
storm coverage diminishes, leaving scattered cloud cover and
generally light winds. Storms return tomorrow afternoon with the
aforementioned threats again becoming possible.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected through the afternoon,
evening, and early portion of the night. Stronger storms may
bring localized heavy rain capable of dropping vis to MVFR, and
cigs below ILS breakpoints. Near thunderstorms, gusty and
variable winds up to 30 kts will be possible as well. Overnight,
storm coverage diminishes, leaving scattered cloud cover and
generally light winds. Storms return tomorrow afternoon with the
aforementioned threats again becoming possible.

.AVIATION...Tuesday 21/00Z through Wednesday 22/00Z...Scattered
to numerous SHRA/TSRA will continue through 06Z. KPGA has
remained dry and will continue to stay dry through 05Z. Stronger
storms this evening will be capable of producing wind gusts 30-45
kt, hail, and brief MVFR and IFR conditions. After 06Z, activity
becoming isolated to low-end scattered. Localized IFR conditions
due to low clouds and fog are possible during the overnight hours.
Outside of storms, winds light and variable. Another active day
is expected of monsoon storms is expected Tuesday. Expect
scattered to numerous SHRA/TSRA with isolated +TSRA from late
Tuesday morning (~17Z) through the afternoon hours (~00Z). The
primary threat will be MVFR to IFR conditions in heavy rain. Gusty
outflow winds up to 45 kts and hail are also possible.
OUTLOOK...Wednesday 22/00Z through Friday 24/00Z...Expect
scattered to numerous SHRA/TSRA and isolated +TSRA Through
Wednesday, then as monsoon moisture decreases SHRA/TSRA coverage
will become scattered, but will continue to develop during the
late morning through late afternoon hours Thursday and Friday. Any
stronger storms will produce brief MVFR to IFR conditions. Some
IFR low clouds and fog possible, mainly for overnight hours.
Outside of storms, expect light winds around 5-10 kts.

.AVIATION...
KSLC...Downsloping easterly wind gusts due to convective activity
over the Wasatch will continue through around 01z before decreasing
and easing back northwesterly through the remainder of the night.
Nocturnal shower activity will result in periods of variable winds
at the terminal between roughly 07-11z tonight, with gusts exceeding
25 kts possible through this period. Winds increase out of the
northwest after 18z, before convective activity developing after 20z
brings more gusty and erratic winds through the remainder of the
afternoon and evening. VFR conditions prevail at the terminal,
though heavier rainfall tomorrow afternoona and evening could result
in brief MVFR conditions.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Convective activity dwindles
through the remainder of the evening. There is a threat for
nocturnal showers and thunderstorms overnight across most of the
airspace, mainly between the 07-12z timeframe; this activity will be
capable of producing variable gusty winds for most regional
terminals overnight. Otherwise, widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms redevelop after around 19z on Tuesday, with MVFR
conditions possible for many terminals through the evening as heavy
rainfall may bring lowered CIGS/VIS at times.

Isolated thunderstorms developed early this afternoon from far
southwest WY into south-central WY. Thunderstorms have begun
developing near KRKS with impacts possible (30%) and could
continue through 03Z-04Z, especially with gusty outflow winds
over 30 kts. Based on satellite trends, KBPI/KPNA/KLND could see
gusty outflow winds as well after 23Z, but are unlikely to see
precipitation. As a surface low over the Great Basin
strengthens, gusty north winds will continue to push from north-
central WY into central WY this evening, with gusts around 25
kts. The NE winds will even make way into KRKS late in the
evening before 06Z.
Mid-level clouds are expected to remain overnight and a few isolated
mountain showers are possible. Moisture and instability increase
Tuesday, with showers and thunderstorms initiating between 18Z-20Z
across western and southwestern WY. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms will increase more late Tuesday afternoon and into
the evening, impacting all TAF sites at various times. Gusty
winds of 30-40 kts and heavy rain could bring MVFR to IFR
conditions to TAF sites. Slow- moving storms associated with a
disturbance moving west to east in the afternoon and evening
could lead to localized flooding, especially in the evening
hours.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Regional radar depicts scattered thunderstorms and showers. A
cluster of these storms are moving towards KBFF and may impact
the terminal with lightning, reduced visibility, and winds
greater than 45 kt in the next few hours. Activity is expected
to increase in coverage through the evening and therefore tempo
or prob30 groups have been added to some terminal TAFs. Outside
storms winds are around 10 to 15 knots and variable with gusts
to 20 to 25 knots. Overnight winds may increase due to outflow
and boundary recovery from area thunderstorms, but are expected
to calm by morning and into the early afternoon. Tomorrow
afternoon thunderstorms are expected again with the greatest
chances of early activity occurring near KRWL and KLAR.

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist
through the evening hours, favoring central and western areas,
though some of the strongest activity has likely ended for the day
across southwestern portions of the CWA. KGUP and KFMN have the
highest chances at being impacted through the evening. Gusty
winds, brief heavy rainfall, and small hail remain possible with
the strongest storms. Much of the activity will end by 06Z, though
some light shower development is possible after 09Z across
southwest and south central areas. Another round of showers and
thunderstorms will develop Tuesday afternoon. These storms will
favor western and central areas once again. The strongest storms
will be capable of heavy rainfall and brief excursions into MVFR
vsbys, gusty and erratic winds, small hail and frequent lightning.
