DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0005 UTC SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 537 PM MDT SAT SEP 12 2026
THIS AFTERNOON'S SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE STRUGGLED TO HOLD
TOGETHER AS THEY MOVE OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WHILE THERE WAS A
BRIEF SHOWER OBSERVED AT KBJC A SHORT TIME AGO, ANY MENTION OF
SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE TAF FOR THE REST
OF THE EVENING. A SURFACE CYCLONE HAS MADE FOR A TRICKY WIND
FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON. ENHANCED SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE
CURRENTLY IN PLACE AT KAPA WHILE KDEN HAS MANAGED TO KEEP AN
EASTERLY COMPONENT FOR THE PAST FEW HOURS. THERE IS HIGH
UNCERTAINTY IN THE WIND FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE
CENTER OF THE CYCLONE IS NOW MOVING NORTHEAST TOWARDS KDEN.
BASED ON TRACKING TOOLS, WAS ORIGINALLY THINKING WINDS ACROSS THE
KDEN AIRFIELD TURN TO THE SOUTH BY ROUGHLY 0015Z, BUT LATEST RADAR
SCANS SHOW IT'S WASHING OUT AS IT MOVES NORTH ACROSS ARAPAHOE
COUNTY. THIS MAY KEEP WINDS MORE EASTERLY AT KDEN BEFORE
A MORE SOUTHEASTERLY TURN BY AROUND 3Z, AND TURNING SOUTH AND
SETTLING INTO DRAINAGE FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. A BROADER
CIRCULATION STILL REMAINS IN PLACE THAT SEEMS TO BE KEEPING KAPA
WINDS FROM THE SW, WHILE KBJC IS HOLDING ONTO N TO NE WINDS. THERE
IS HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST AFTER 3Z
FOR TOMORROW, SLIGHTLY HIGHER CONFIDENCE REMAINS IN AFTERNOON
SHOWERS AND MAYBE A WEAK STORM TO PASS ACROSS THE TAF SITES.
DCAPE LOOKS SLIGHTLY MORE IMPRESSIVE (~1500J/KG) AND INSTABILITY
WILL BE MARGINAL FOR LIGHTNING POTENTIAL, BUT A PROB30 HAS BEEN
INTRODUCED AT ALL TAF SITES STARTING AT 21Z/22Z, WITH A TEMPO NOW
IN PLACE FOR THE EVENING HOURS (THROUGH 3Z). GUSTS BETWEEN
30-40KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY PASSING SHOWERS/STORMS
AFTERNOON/EVENING.

AVIATION
KSLC...SOUTH WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AT
KSLC, WITH WINDS BECOMING INCREASINGLY GUSTY AFTER 06-07Z. AFTER
AROUND 08Z, PEAK GUSTS MAY BE UPWARDS OF 25-30KTS FROM THE SOUTH.
THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE INTO THE EARLY/ MID-
AFTERNOON, TAKING ON A SLIGHT SOUTHWEST COMPONENT BEFORE SWITCHING
TO A NORTHWEST FLOW FOLLOWING A COLD FRONT. VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE
MAINTAINED THROUGH THE PERIOD.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL ACROSS THE AIRSPACE THROUGHOUT THE VALID TAF PERIOD. WINDS
WILL REMAIN GUSTY OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST ACROSS MUCH OF THE
WESTERN HALF OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS, WITH THE STRONGEST GUSTS EXPECTED ON THE LEE SIDES OF TERRAIN
FEATURES. GUSTS MAY REACH UPWARDS OF 30KTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
WASATCH FRONT AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING OVERNIGHT. BREEZY SOUTHERLY
WINDS REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON TOMORROW BEFORE A
COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AREA AND BRINGS A SHIFT TO
NORTHWEST WINDS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 945 PM MDT SAT SEP 12 2026
WINDS BECOME LIGHT OVERNIGHT WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. VFR
CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE NEXT 24 HOURS, BUT STRONG MID-
ATMOSPHERE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW (ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET STREAM)
AHEAD OF THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN INTERACTION WITH
HIGHER TERRAIN AROUND SUNRISE SUNDAY, BRINGING GUSTY
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS. BY THE LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON, GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL MIX TO THE SURFACE IN
BASINS AND VALLEYS. THESE WINDS CONTINUE UNTIL WEAKENING
(BUT REMAINING MORE ELEVATED THAN USUAL) AROUND SUNSET.
LATE IN THE PERIOD, AFTER 14/0300Z BUT BEFORE 14/0900Z,
LOCATIONS SUCH AS PNA, BPI, AND COD ARE LIKELY TO SEE A SUDDEN
WIND SHIFT WITH THE ARRIVAL OF A COLD FRONT, GENERALLY COMING IN
FROM THE NORTHWEST. OTHER LOCATIONS FURTHER EAST WILL
EVENTUALLY SEE THIS SHIFT MONDAY MORNING.
OF SPECIAL NOTE, HIGH-RESOLUTION MODELS ARE SHOWING POTENTIAL
FOR A MOUNTAIN WAVE AND VERY GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40 KT IN
THE COD VICINITY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
WIND GUSTS COULD BE EVEN HIGHER THAN THIS IF A MOUNTAIN WAVE
INDEED SETS UP IN THE FOOTHILLS WEST OF CODY, BUT FORECASTING
WHETHER THESE EXTREME WINDS MAKE IT TO A SURFACE REMAINS A
CHALLENGE, ESPECIALLY 24 HOURS AHEAD OF TIME. STAY TUNED TO THE
LATEST FORECASTS IF FLYING SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY, AS ALL
WYOMING AVIATORS CAN EXPECT COMPLEX ATMOSPHERIC DYNAMICS IN THE
REGION AS A ROBUST WEATHER SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH.

A FEW SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDER MAY IMPACT THE INTERSTATE 80
CORRIDOR THROUGH 02Z. OTHERWISE, CLEARING SKIES ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT
WITH BREEZY SOUTHEAST WINDS AT TIMES ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE NEXT 18
TO 24 HOURS WITH SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WEAKENING THIS
EVENING. CAN'T RULE OUT SOME LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING TONIGHT ACROSS
THE EASTERN PLAINS DUE TO SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS, BUT PROBABILITIES
ARE LOW ENOUGH (< 10 PERCENT) TO KEEP OUT OF THE TAF.

A STRATUS CLOUD DECK CONTINUES TO REMAIN OVER BOTH AIRPORTS,
AND IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH ABOUT 15Z AT KGLD, AND 17Z AT
KMCK. THESE CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO SUPPORT PRIMARILY MVFR
CONDITIONS AT KGLD AND KMCK, HOWEVER KMCK MAY SEE SOME CEILINGS
DROP JUST BELOW IFR THRESHOLDS BETWEEN 14 AND 16Z. VFR
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ONCE THE CLOUD DECK LIFTS. WINDS WILL
SHIFT FROM SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH AROUND 15Z FOR KGLD, AND REMAIN
MOSTLY OUT OF THE EAST FOR KMCK. WEAKER WINDS ARE EXPECTED
EARLIER IN THE TAF PERIOD AT BOTH AIRPORTS, BUT GUSTS 20-25 KTS
CAN BE EXPECTED BEGINNING IN THE LATE MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON
ON THE 13TH.

ISSUED AT 642 PM CDT SAT SEP 12 2026
OVERALL VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES WITH SOME
BREEZY WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH AT KAMA AND KGUY IN THE 15 GUSTING
25KT RANGE. KDHT WILL BE MORE TAME IN THE 5-10KT RANGE AT LEAST
THROUGH 18Z. THEN WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON IN
THE 15 GUSTING 25KT RANGE. DO NOT EXPECT STORMS AT KGUY OR KDHT AS
THE BOUNDARY SHOULD REMAIN EAST OF THE TERMINALS, BUT WATCHING
CLOSELY AT KAMA AS THAT WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE, BUT CONFIDENCE IS
NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO ADD ANY PROB30S. STORMS AT KAMA WILL BE DEALT
WITH VIA AMENDMENTS IF THEY LOOK PLAUSIBLE.
