DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1205 UTC TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 535 AM MDT TUE OCT 27 2026
LOW VISIBILITY DOWN TO 1/4SM DUE TO FOG IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR
THE NEXT FEW HOURS AT KDEN/KBJC BEFORE STARTING TO IMPROVE BETWEEN
14Z-16Z. KAPA HAS BEEN ABLE TO HOLD ONTO SOME STRONGER SOUTHERLY
WINDS THAT HAVE KEPT IT FROM GETTING ANY CLOSER THAN WITHIN THE
VICINITY OF THE AIRFIELD. THIS SHOULD ALSO START TO RETREAT FROM
WITHIN THE VICINITY AROUND 14-15Z.
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, A DENVER CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE FOR
ANOTHER TRICKY WIND FORECAST, BUT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
LIGHT (UNDER 8KTS) THROUGH AROUND 20Z-21Z. AFTER THAT, THERE IS
DECENT AGREEMENT AMONGST THIS MORNING'S HI-RES GUIDANCE THAT WE
SEE SOME SLIGHTLY INCREASED EASTERLY WINDS (9-11KTS) FOR THE LATE
AFTERNOON UNTIL THE CYCLONE MOVES NORTH AND EAST OF THE TAF SITES
AND DRAINAGE WINDS LIKELY SET IN AT KDEN/KAPA (S-SSW). KBJC SHOULD
SEE LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS, WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS POSSIBLE BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1125 AM MDT TUE OCT 27 2026
BREEZY WINDS ARE FORECAST THROUGH SUNSET AT KJAC, KCPR, KCOD, KPNA,
KBPI, AND KLND WITH GUSTS LARGELY IN THE 15KT TO 25KT RANGE. GUSTS
AT KCPR COULD BE CLOSER TO 35KTS/40KTS AT TIMES. RELATIVELY LIGHT
WINDS ARE EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO TREK WEST
TO EAST ACROSS WYOMING IN THE 01Z TO 12Z TIMEFRAME. KJAC WILL BE THE
FIRST TO POTENTIALLY SEE IMPACTS, WITH A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF A
RAIN/SNOW MIX. KRIW AND KLND ALSO HAVE A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN
OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX OVERNIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS HIGHEST IN PREVAILING
SNOW SHOWERS AT KPNA AND KBPI OVERNIGHT WITH ASSOCIATED MVFR TO IFR
FLIGHT CONDITIONS. ALL OTHER TERMINALS HAVE A 10 TO 20 PERCENT
CHANCE OF SEEING PRECIPITATION WITH THIS FRONT. LINGERING IFR TO
MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS DUE TO FOG IS FORECAST AFTER PRECIPITATION
ENDS AT KPNA AND KBPI THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. SHOULD
PRECIPITATION OCCUR AT KJAC, KRIW, AND KLND, THE CHANCE FOR FOG AND
REDUCED FLIGHT CONDITIONS INCREASES SUBSTANTIALLY. HOWEVER,
CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW AT THIS TIME TO INCLUDE IN TAF.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 510 AM MDT TUE OCT 27 2026
LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD, AS THE NEBRASKA TERMINALS ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING IFR OR
LIFR CIGS GIVEN MOIST LOW-LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW. CAN EXPECT LOW CLOUDS
TO GRADUALLY MIX OUT THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING, WITH MODERATE
CONFIDENCE IN VFR PREVAILING FROM 18Z-00Z. GOES NIGHTTIME
MICROPHYSICS IMAGERY IS SHOWING LOW STRATUS ERODING FROM WEST TO
EAST, SO WILL REFLECT THIS TREND IN THE TAFS WITH KBFF UNDER
VFR SLIGHTLY EARLIER THAN THE REMAINING PANHANDLE TERMINALS. THE
WYOMING TERMINALS WILL SEE SW WINDS INCREASE TOWARDS THE MID TO
LATE MORNING HOURS WITH PEAK GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS.
EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF FOG AND LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE PANHANDLE,
MAINLY AFTER SUNSET AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE UNDER
RELATIVELY CALM CONDITIONS. EXPECTING PRIMARILY MVFR CIGS BASED OFF
HREF PROBABILISTIC GUIDANCE, THOUGH KAIA AND KSNY MAY BRIEFLY REACH
IFR CRITERIA AT TIMES BEFORE SUNRISE.

LOW STRATUS AND FOG WILL CONTINUE TO HAMPER AVIATION OPERATIONS
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING FOR WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
BENEATH THE SECOND OF TWO UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES, NOW
DEPARTING TO THE EAST, EXPANSIVE STRATUS AND FOG WAS NOTED
ACROSS THE REGION. VISIBILITIES WERE IMPACTED MORE SIGNIFICANTLY
ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA WITH LESS THAN ONE MILE BEING REPORTED
IN SPOTS. THIS MAY CREEP EAST FURTHER TOWARDS KLBF BUT
VISIBILITY IMPACTS OF THAT MAGNITUDE ARE NOT EXPECTED. THAT
SAID, LOW CIGS PROMOTING WIDESPREAD IFR AND LIFR CONDITIONS
SHOULD CONTINUE FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
SOME IMPROVEMENT IS POSSIBLE AT KLBF THIS AFTERNOON AND MORE
LIKELY AT KVTN BEFORE CONDITIONS DEGRADE AGAIN THIS EVENING INTO
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

LIFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT S TO SE WINDS ARE LIKELY TO
PREVAIL THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE 18Z TAF PERIOD. WHILE BRIEF
IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR IS POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON, CONDITIONS
WILL QUICKLY DETERIORATE AFTER SUNSET. DENSE FOG AND/OR VERY
LOW CEILINGS (100-300 FT AGL) ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING INTO WED
MORNING. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT MODEST IMPROVEMENT WILL NOT
OCCUR UNTIL LATE WED MORNING, NEAR THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AT 15Z TUE SHOWED THAT THE WIDESPREAD DENSE
FOG HAS LIFTED INTO A STRATUS LAYER, AND SURFACE VISIBILITY WAS
RAPIDLY IMPROVING. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AT 15Z SHOWED THE
STRATUS SCATTERING OUT NEAR LBL AND WEST OF GCK. STRATUS WILL
CONTINUE TO DISSOLVE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AT GCK/DDC/LBL, BUT
IFR/MVFR STRATUS WILL LIKELY PERSIST AT HYS THROUGH 00Z WED. SOUTH
WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON, GUSTING 23-28 KTS,
IMPROVING MIXING AND ASSISTING IN CEILINGS RETURNING TO VFR. VFR IS
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH ELEVATED SOUTHWEST WINDS AFTER 15Z WED.
