Colorado Mountain Pass Weather

Live conditions from the 13 automated weather stations (AWOS) the State of Colorado runs at and near the high passes pilots use to cross the mountains. Each card shows the flight category, wind and gusts in knots and mph, visibility, ceiling, temperature and dewpoint, altimeter, an estimated density altitude, how old the report is, and the raw METAR. Open a pass for its last three hours of reports.

About these stations

Stations owned and operated by the Colorado Division of Aeronautics (Mountain AWOS program). Read about the program on the Division of Aeronautics AWOS Program page. Reports reach this page through the national METAR feed at aviationweather.gov. A station shows “Not reporting” when the feed has no report from it in the last 90 minutes.

Reading the cards

  • VFR (Visual Flight Rules): ceilings above 3,000 ft and visibility greater than 5 miles.
  • MVFR (Marginal VFR): ceilings 1,000–3,000 ft and/or visibility 3–5 miles.
  • IFR (Instrument Flight Rules): ceilings 500–1,000 ft and/or visibility 1–3 miles.
  • LIFR (Low IFR): ceilings below 500 ft and/or visibility under 1 mile.
  • Ceilingis the lowest broken or overcast layer above the station, in feet above ground. “None” means no broken or overcast layer was reported, and “clear” means the station saw no clouds (automated stations see clouds up to 12,000 ft).
  • Density altitude is an estimate from the station elevation, altimeter and temperature (the same dry E6B formula as our density altitude calculator).

⚠️ Mountain weather changes fast and a station reports only the conditions at its own site, not along the whole route. Check the report age on each card. Not an FAA product. Not for operational use. Always verify with official FAA-approved preflight weather sources before flight.
