.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday/...
Issued at 553 PM MDT Sun Oct 12 2025
One of the strongest and most concentrated anticyclones I can
remember over Denver is finally breaking down as another
northeasterly surge pushes back across the TAF sites. We`ll see
more easterly winds prevail with 12-22 kt gusts through about
03Z. Then winds gradually relax and turn more southeasterly
through 06Z. We don`t think we`ll return to our normal SSW
overnight with the forecasted pressure gradients, so expect a more
SSE wind to persist through not only the rest of tonight but much
of Monday. We should bend ever so slightly back to the SE after
15-18Z tomorrow, with gusts 20-25 kts much of the day at least at
KDEN and KAPA. KBJC will likely (70% chance) see a more northerly
flow develop by 20-21Z as a weak cyclone develops, but only a
slight (20%) chance that this feature disrupts the SE flow at
KDEN and KAPA.
VFR conditions will prevail through the period. We will see a mid
level cloud deck as low as 6,000-7,000 ft AGL at times, but
overall ceilings should stay generally above 9,000-10,000 ft.
Enough moisture advection occurs through Monday for a VCSH, which
would most likely only be a sprinkle or two after 22Z Monday.

Mostly clear skies will be in control for the next 6-12 hours,
then clouds will increase from south to north. Showers will
begin filling in after 12z, with KDRO and KTEX the first to be
impacted. These showers will be heavy at times, leading to
reductions to visibility. VFR conditions will prevail through
12z, then periods of MVFR to IFR conditions will occur after
12z, becoming more common after 18z. Ceilings will be above
breakpoints for the majority of the period, but KASE, KEGE, and
KRIL will see ceilings approach ILS breakpoints after 06z, and
additional terminals, including KTEX and KDRO, will see ceilings
drop below breakpoints after 12z.

.AVIATION...Monday 13/00Z through Tuesday 14/00Z...Cloud cover
with embedded showers and thunderstorms will gradually spread
across the area from the south bringing MVFR/IFR ceilings and
visibilities after 06Z at high terrain TAF sites. After 18Z,
thunderstorms coverage will increase, with the best chances for
storms east of a line from KPAN to KRQE. Otherwise, expect
south-southwest winds 10-20kts gusting 20-30kts after 18Z.
OUTLOOK...Tuesday 14/00Z through Thursday 16/00Z...Expect scattered

A calmer period of weather is expected tonight through Monday
afternoon, with VFR conditions and mostly clear skies. Wind will
remain light until Monday afternoon increasing into the evening as
the next weather system moves into the area. Cloud cover will
increase from south to north late Monday afternoon as wind turns
more southerly. Scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms
will develop and move northward into the area Monday evening, with
PROB30 groups at KRKS, KLND, and KRIW for -SHRA and MVFR conditions.
Just after the TAF period into Monday night rain showers will
overspread much of the area, but chances will remain moderate around
50%, so some terminals may be spared.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Sporadic rain showers will be possible at KGUY later this morning
and at KAMA this afternoon. While we can`t rule out a brief
thunderstorm, confidence is too low to include in the TAFs at this
time. Otherwise, a cold front will move through all terminals
tonight and some briefly breezy winds are anticipated at KDHT
behind the front.

Showers and a few thunderstorms are mostly staying over the
southern half of New Mexico early this evening with cells drifting
eastward at 10-20 kt. Showers and storms will likely reduce in
coverage during the mid to late evening, but an approaching upper
level low pressure system to our west and a cold front arriving
from the northeast will start to regenerate showers into the early
morning hours Monday, mainly in northwestern and northeastern to
east central areas of New Mexico. For the most part, these will
produce light to moderate rain along with brief passing MVFR
ceilings (below 3000 ft) and visibilities (less than 5 miles) with
isolated pockets of fog or IFR ceilings (less than 1000 ft)
through the post dawn hours. More vigorous showers and a few
thunderstorms will then start to develop and multiply over the
southern and western tiers of New Mexico by Monday afternoon.
Shower and storm activity will be moving on a faster, more
northeastward heading by this time, and stronger storms will be
capable of brief heavy downpours and gusty outflow (downburst)
winds to 40 kt.
