DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1159 UTC FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 454 AM MST FRI JAN 23 2026
STRATUS IS VIRTUALLY SURROUNDING THE ENTIRE AIRPORT AT THIS TIME.
THE PESKY CIRCULATION RIGHT OVER THE AIRPORT IS LIKELY THE CAUSE
OF THIS. RADAR IS SHOWING SOME WEAK ECHOES DEVELOPING INTO A
CIRCLE AROUND THE AIRPORT. PRETTY INTERESTING. WILL GO WITH OVC015
IN THE TAF AS IT IS BOUND TO FILL IN SHORTLY. MAY ALSO NEED TO
PUT SOME -SN IN BUT NOT REDUCE VSBYS MUCH AT ALL. THE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE DIFFICULT WITH THE PESKY CIRCULATION AT HAND. MANY
OF THE MODELS SHOW THE CIRCULATION TO SLIDE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST
THIS MORNING BRINGING FAIRLY LIGHT NORTH OR NORTHEAST WINDS TO
ALL THE AIRPORT. NOT ALL THE MODELS SHOW THIS; WITH SOME HAVING
THE CIRCULATION TO PUSH NORTHWARD THIS MORNING. I GUESS I WILL
START OFF WITH WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS, THEN PERHAPS LEAN TOWARDS
SOME SORT OF WEAK EAST OR NORTHEASTERLIES. I WILL KEEP THE
CEILINGS IN THE OVC010-015 WITH SOMETHING A BIT LOWER IN A TEMPO
OR PROB30 GROUP LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT WITH THE BEST
CHANCES OF -SN.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 403 AM MST FRI JAN 23 2026
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS
CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO AROUND 7000 FEET FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
THROUGH THE MORNING. LOWER CEILINGS WILL LEAD TO MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS OVER PORTIONS OF YELLOWSTONE AND THE ABSAROKAS.
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN MAINLY DRY THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KRKS, WHERE THERE COULD BE A SNOW
SHOWER AFTER 02Z. WIND SHOULD REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD, GENERALLY 10 KNOTS OR LESS.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS
AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW WILL BE AROUND THROUGH THROUGH AROUND 00Z,
ESPECIALLY IN VICINITY OF KCPR, KCOD AND KWRL. THE LOWEST
CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED IN VICINITY OF KCPR, WHERE PERIODS OF MVFR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD WITH A
COMBINATION OF SNOW AND LOWER CEILINGS. OCCASIONAL MVFR CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITY WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN VICINITY OF KWRL AND
KCOD, MAINLY UNTIL AROUND 18 TO 19Z FRIDAY. WE CAN'T RULE OUT A
SHOWER IN VICINITY OF KRIW AND KLND BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE
TO INCLUDE. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL BE COMMON THROUGH 00Z,
ESPECIALLY THE BIGHORNS AND CASPER MOUNTAIN. SKY WILL CLEAR FROM
NORTH TO SOUTH AFTER 00Z TONIGHT WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
AT ALL TAF SITES AFTER 06Z TONIGHT.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 412 AM MST FRI JAN 23 2026
SNOW SHOWERS HAVE STARTED SLIGHTLY EARLIER THAN ORIGINALLY
EXPECTED TONIGHT, WITH MOST NEBRASKA TERMINALS CURRENTLY SEEING
REDUCED VISIBILITY AND LOWER CEILINGS WITH THE SNOW SHOWERS.
SNOW AND PATCHY FREEZING FOG HAS STARTED NEAR KCYS DROPPING
CONDITIONS TO IFR. MINIMAL IMPROVEMENTS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE
DAY, WITH MOST TERMINALS REMAINING IN THE MVFR TO IFR
CATEGORIES, WITH THE OCCASIONAL LIFR CONDITIONS. CONDITIONS MAY
BRIEFLY IMPROVE, BUT EXACT TIME PERIODS FOR IMPROVEMENT ARE
UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. OVERALL, POOR CONDITIONS LOOK TO
CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
HOURS ACROSS BOTH SOUTHEAST WYOMING AND WESTERN NEBRASKA.

LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO FALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE CENTRAL
SANDHILLS THROUGH PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THIS BAND OF
SNOW WILL SPLIT THE TERMINALS WITH SOME SOUTHWARD SHIFT LATER
THIS MORNING THAT COULD IMPACT LBF. WILL INCLUDE A BRIEF PERIOD
OF -SN TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS BEFORE CONDITIONS IMPROVE BY MID-
AFTERNOON. THEN, FROM THE SOUTH, ADDITIONAL LIGHT SNOW SHOULD
MOVE IN LATER TONIGHT. HOW FAR NORTH THIS ACTIVITY MAKES IT IS
SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION BUT WILL INCLUDE A MENTION AT THIS TIME AND
ADVISE FOLLOWING SHIFTS TO ADJUST AS NECESSARY. WINDS REMAIN
LIGHT, VEERING THROUGH THE PERIOD FROM THE NORTHEAST TO THE
SOUTH TOWARDS DAYBREAK SATURDAY.

ALONG WITH WINDS BEING SUSTAINED AT 15-25 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 30
KTS. WINDS SHOULD SLOWLY SUBSIDE LATER THIS AFTERNOON HOWEVER
THE SNOW COVERAGE WILL INCREASE IN INTENSITY ESPECIALLY AFTER
00Z FOR ALL THE TERMINALS. AFTER 00Z WE WILL HAVE HIGHER PROBS
OF IFR TO LIFR FLIGHT CATEGORY AS THE MODERATE TO AT TIMES

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 523 AM CST FRI JAN 23 2026
THE START OF OUR ACTIVE WEATHER BEGINS THIS MORNING WITH THE
POTENTIAL TO SEE FREEZING DRIZZLE AND/OR WINTER MIX OF
PRECIPITATION. THESE MIX COULD BRING MINOR IMPACTS TO ALL
TERMINALS THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS WITH ICE
ACCUMULATION STAYING UNDER 0.05". HOWEVER, ONCE THE MUCH COLDER
AIR MASS ARRIVES LOOK FOR ANY PRECIPITATION TO BEING SHIFTING
SNOW WITH PRESENT EXPECTATIONS SEEING ALL PRECIPITATION SNOW BY
00Z. THIS SNOW IS LIKELY TO BE OFF AND ON THROUGH THE NEXT 72
HOURS WITH ALL TERMINALS EXPECTED TO BEING DROPPING IN AND OUT OF
IFR AND LIFR CONDITIONS. ACCUMULATION OF SNOW ON RUNWAYS IS ALSO
LIKELY FOR ALL TERMINALS, WITH EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES LIKELY
TO SEE IT STAY AND REFREEZE DURING THE OVERNIGHTS.
