Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion
Issued at 1015 UTC Friday, April  4, 2025

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday/...
Issued at 415 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025
Fog and low clouds will persist in the Denver area this morning.
IFR conditions will prevail, but there will be areas of LIFR
ceilings. Thicker fog with visibilities below a mile now looks
unlikely. A cold front will pass between 15z and 17z with north
winds gusting to around 25 knots. This will likely (70%) break up
the low clouds with MVFR conditions prevailing behind the front.
Snow will redevelop though, with areas of IFR conditions again
after 19z. Snow accumulations in the Denver area are expected to
be an inch or less and mainly on grassy areas.

KCOS, KPUB, and KALS: VFR conditions early in this TAF period will
drop to MVFR to IFR conditions as clouds quickly drop during the
day, and as rain and snow showers develop during the afternoon, and
become more widespread tonight. Winds will increase during the day
and remain relatively gusty heading into Saturday morning,
especially for KPUB and KCOS as a front starts to push southward
early in the day. While more persistent snow is expected for
KALS, confidence is less for KCOS and KPUB given the effects of
strong downsloping winds. These two TAF sites will may
frequently fluctuate between being impacted by showers and
having dry conditions over the terminal site during most of this
TAF period.

Some low stratus ceilings are impacting terminals in the
Colorado River Valley this morning. Some intermittent fog and
IFR ceilings are possible at KCNY, KGJT, KRIL, and KEGE.
Elsewhere, mostly VFR conditions are present around the region.
This will change towards mid day, as clouds lift into the region
and snow showers develop on the terrain. This will lead to
widespread breakpoint conditions for mountain terminals, with an
emphasis south of I-70. Conditions across northwest Colorado
and northeast Utah will improve as skies clear later tonight
towards the tail end of this TAF period. However, breakpoint
conditions will hang on into subsequent TAF periods for
southwest Colorado.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 545 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025
Some low stratus ceilings are impacting terminals in the
Colorado River Valley this morning. Some intermittent fog and
IFR ceilings are possible at KCNY, KGJT, KRIL, and KEGE.
Elsewhere, mostly VFR conditions are present around the region.
This will change towards mid day, as clouds lift into the region
and snow showers develop on the terrain. This will lead to
widespread breakpoint conditions for mountain terminals, with an
emphasis south of I-70. Conditions across northwest Colorado
and northeast Utah will improve as skies clear later tonight
towards the tail end of this TAF period. However, breakpoint
conditions will hang on into subsequent TAF periods for
southwest Colorado.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Lake enhanced rain showers are ongoing early this
morning in the vicinity of the terminal, resulting in continued
mountain obscuration from lowered CIGS. Showers are expected to
gradually taper mid-to-late morning, before scattered rain showers
redevelop once again this afternoon, roughly between 20-03z. Light
northwesterly winds prevail this morning, increasing roughly after
18z with gusts around 20 knots into the evening.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Other than light, lake
enhanced showers south of the Great Salt Lake this morning,
conditions are expected to remain dry areawide through roughly 18z.
Scattered showers are expected to increase in coverage across Utah
and southwest Wyoming thereafter, with some isolated thunderstorms
possible through 03z. Any storms that develop will be capable of
producing brief heavy rainfall, gusty and erratic outflow winds, and
mountain obscuration. Otherwise, light winds this morning are
expected to increase out of the north for all regional terminals
this afternoon, with winds remaining elevated across southwest Utah
into Saturday.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 511 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025
Snow chances continue through about the first 6 hours of the TAF
period, with upslope favoring the KLND/KRIW area, as well as KCPR.
Otherwise, snow showers are more scattered for other sites. Flight
conditions will range from VFR to IFR with snow and snow showers.
Clouds will slowly erode through the afternoon, with lingering MVFR
ceilings, even after snow has ended. VFR conditions expected at all
sites by the end of the period.
Models are indicating some increased snow shower chances around
KBPI/KPNA and KJAC this afternoon. This would be more of a `hit or
miss` scenario, so PROB30 groups were included in those TAFs.
Slightly higher confidence at KPNA has resulted in a prevailing
group.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

A cold front will push through this morning creating some light
snow showers through the early afternoon. After 19z the snow
showers will start to stop moving from north to south. By 00z
the snow shower should have stopped at all terminals with the
exception at KRWL which may have light snow persist until 01z.
There will be winds behind this front up gusts up to 30-35kts
peaking in the afternoon. By 02z the wind gusts should be over
and sustained winds between 10 to 15 kts are favored until 06z

IFR to LIFR conditions are forecast for the majority of the TAF
period. Fog, dense at times is forecast to continue for KGLD
with a lesser chance for dense at KMCK through around 15Z.
Increasing potential for showers at KMCK is forecast at times
throughout the day. More of the hit or miss variety of showers
is possible at KGLD but due to the hit and miss nature of them
felt a PROB30 would be more representative. Winds are forecast
to increase through the evening as an 850mb jet moves through
the area along with drier air, with VFR conditions returning for
the last few hours of the period, although some low clouds may
remain.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 548 AM CDT Fri Apr 4 2025
Areas of light rain will overspread southwest Kansas this
morning, mainly affecting DDC to HYS terminals. Widespread low
stratus continued to expand with ceilings below 1000 feet (IFR
category), and latest trends in the HRRR model suggest IFR
ceilings will likely persist much of the day, so the 12Z TAF
reflects are more pessimistic forecast with IFR hanging on
longer, if not the entire day. Winds will be fairly light out of
the east/northeast much of the day, but a strong wind shift to
the north will occur toward the latter portion of this TAF
period later tonight with 20 to 25 knot sustained north wind and
gusts to 35 knots possible.

Showers continue in some spots of the Panhandles, and ceilings
fluctuate between IFR to VFR as rainfall changes cloud bases.
This process will continue through the morning and much of the
afternoon. By the evening and overnight hours IFR conditions will
enter into all TAF sites. DHT and GUY will see a quick transition
from rain to snow.

The coverage of MVFR low cigs with areas of rain is increasing
northward over eastern NM this morning. Upper level low pressure
approaching from the west will allow the coverage of SHRA/TS to
increase over more of northern and western NM thru the afternoon.
A few showers will be capable of producing erratic, gusty winds
with graupel or small hail. A potent cold front will then surge
southwest into northeast NM before sunset and force rain over to
snow with widespread IFR developing in its wake. Snow will spread
south across more of eastern NM overnight with north wind gusts up
to 40KT, periods of moderate to heavy snow, and blowing snow with
low visibility at times. Canyon winds will also develop into the
Rio Grande Valley tonight with a greater than 60% chance gusts
will exceed 35KT at KABQ. East/southeast winds will shift west to
the Cont Divide after midnight and allow a second area of snow to
develop from near KFMN to KGUP. Widespread impacts will continue
over a large portion of the airspace into Saturday.
