.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday/...
Issued at 1135 AM MDT Thu Aug 21 2025
VFR through the TAF period, but thunderstorm chances will become
the main concern late Friday. Winds are in the process of becoming
more N/NE as of 18Z and will trend more NE-E 21Z-01Z. There is
a chance of an evening shower/storm to the north of the TAF sites
to push an outflow through KDEN, so will have a PROB30 for that
this evening. Otherwise, expect a gradual diurnal shift to SE-S
overnight but then northwest with a prefrontal wind shift 09Z-11Z.
Those winds are expected to turn more N-NE through the day Friday.
Storm chances will then become the main weather concern, with
sufficient moisture and instability expected to bring TEMPO TSRA
and VRB gusty winds after 21Z-22Z Friday.

VFR conditions at all three terminals (KALS, KCOS, KPUB) through the

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.

Most eastern terminals will maintain VFR conditions into the early
afternoon hours while a passing front affects the western terminals
which will see showers and thunderstorms first. Thereafter, all other
terminals will see chances of showers and thunderstorms as the front
sweeps across the CWA, which could create MVFR or lower conditions
into and through the evening hours, possibly into the nighttime
hours for the eastern terminals. This front will cause winds to
shift to northerly and easterly along with bringing gusts of 20-30
knots. CIGs are expected to remain in the 6-10k feet range. In
and around any thunderstorm activity, which some storms could be
strong, expect locally gusty and erratic winds.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the period. Winds
this afternoon and evening are expected to become southeasterly.
KGLD will probably see some brief gusts up to 20 kts this
afternoon, but should end by around 23Z. Around 6Z, we expect
winds to become lighter favor the southwest, although KMCK`s
winds will be more variable around sunrise. There is a 5-10%
chance KMCK could see some showers after 3Z, but no impacts are
expected.
