DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1123 UTC SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 421 AM MDT SAT OCT 3 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. LIGHT AND VARIABLE
WINDS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENT AT KBJC AND KAPA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT,
WITH SOUTHWESTERLY DRAINAGE WINDS OBSERVED AT KDEN. WE SHOULD SEE
WINDS START TO TURN CLOCKWISE AROUND 15Z AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
COLD FRONT. NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED BY 17Z, WITH
GUSTS BETWEEN 15 TO 20 KTS POSSIBLE THROUGH AROUND 0Z-1Z WHEN
WINDS SHOULD START TO SLACKEN AND TURN TO THE EAST TO SOUTHEAST AT
KDEN. KBJC IS EXPECTED TO TURN TO THE NORTH TO NORTHWEST AROUND
2Z-3Z AND BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
GUIDANCE IS SPLIT ON WHAT WINDS WILL DO AT KAPA AFTER AROUND 3Z,
WITH THEM EITHER GOING EAST TO SOUTH OR BECOMING LIGHT AND
VARIABLE FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SETTLING INTO A SOUTHERLY
DIRECTION FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. EITHER WAY, THEY ARE EXPECTED
TO SLACKEN ENOUGH BY 2Z-3Z THAT WHICHEVER DIRECTION THEY GO, THERE
SHOULDN'T BE ANY IMPACTS DURING THE TRANSITION PERIOD. WINDS
SHOULD START TO INCREASE FOR A FEW HOURS JUST BEFORE SUNRISE ON
SUNDAY AT KDEN/KAPA BEFORE BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE FOR THE
AFTERNOON.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1115 AM MDT SAT OCT 3 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT KALS, KCOS, AND KPUB THROUGH 24
HOURS. WINDS WILL GUST OUT OF THE EAST-SOUTHEAST AT KALS THIS
AFTERNOON, AROUND 20 KNOTS, WHILE WINDS AT KCOS AND KPUB WILL BE
LESS GUSTY AND MORE NORTHEASTERLY.
THERE IS A LOW-END CHANCE FOR SOME MVFR CLOUDS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT,
BUT LATEST DATA SHOWS LESS CONFIDENCE IN THAT SOLUTION. OTHERWISE,
LIGHT WINDS AND FEWER CLOUDS OVERNIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY.

~10-15 KTS BECOMING NORTHERLY WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AT ~10
KTS. A FEW GUSTS OF 20-25 KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER BOTH

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR STATUS (1000-2000FT AGL) AND/OR MVFR
FOG, ESPECIALLY IN THE GARDEN CITY AND LIBERAL AREAS BASED ON
THE LATEST MODELS. CHANCE FOR THESE LOWER CEILINGS AND
