DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0012 UTC TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 448 PM MST MON FEB 16 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. A
DENVER CYCLONE HAS BEEN MOVING NEAR/EAST OF DEN AS THE AFTERNOON
HAS PROGRESSED AS SEEN ON TDEN. EXPECT THE WINDS TO TURN FROM NW
TO DRAINAGE AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. BJC WILL BE VARIABLE THIS
EVENING BEFORE TURNING SSE AROUND 05Z TUESDAY.
THE MAIN STORY OF THIS FORECAST IS THE WINDS ON TUESDAY DURING
THE DAY. HAVE OPTED TO SLIGHTLY BUMP UP THE INTENSITY OF THE WIND
GUSTS FOR TOMORROW AT DEN AND APA BASED ON THE LATEST MODELING.
WINDS WILL BE STRONG STARTING AROUND 08Z TO 10Z AT ALL THREE
SITES. FOR APA, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF DECREASE IN THE
WIND SPEEDS IN THE MORNING BEFORE BECOMING STRONG ONCE AGAIN
ACCORDING TO THE LATEST HI-RES GUIDANCE. WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE BETWEEN 30 TO 40 KNOTS DURING THE DAY TOMORROW, OR POSSIBLY
A BIT STRONGER, ESPECIALLY AT APA AND DEN. WITH THE WIND POTENTIAL
AND THE DRY CONDITIONS PRESENT, THERE COULD BE A WINDOW FOR SOME
BLOWING DUST TOMORROW ESPECIALLY AT DEN. VIRGA MAY ALSO BE PRESENT
ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON WHICH COULD COMPLICATE THE CURRENT FORECAST.
CROSS SECTIONS SHOW THIS POTENTIAL WITH DECENT MOISTURE PRESENT
IN THE MID-LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. FOR NOW, THE THREAT IS
MINIMAL ENOUGH FOR VIRGA AND/OR BLOWING DUST THAT WE OPTED TO KEEP
THEM OUT OF THE CURRENT TAF, BUT THIS WILL BE EVALUATED IN FUTURE
FORECASTS.

AVIATION...KSLC
STRONG SOUTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE KSLC
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD, WITH WINDS EXPECTED TO PEAK BETWEEN
AROUND 04Z AND 15Z TUESDAY. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER
NEARBY TERRAIN AFTER ABOUT 02Z, CREATING OBSCURATION OF HIGHER
MOUNTAINTOPS. CIGS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO DROP TO 6KFT OR BELOW UNTIL
AROUND 10-11Z. THERE IS AROUND A 30% CHANCE THAT RAIN SHOWERS IMPACT
THE TERMINAL BETWEEN 05Z AND 09Z TUESDAY, HOWEVER, VFR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE MAINTAINED.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW IS EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD, WITH PEAK GUSTS APPROACHING 45-50KTS AHEAD OF,
AND ALONG, A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION
IS ALSO EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY THIS COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY, WITH
CONDITIONS DROPPING INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY DUE TO LOW CIGS. SNOWFALL
IN SOUTHWEST WYOMING WILL LIKELY DROP CONDITIONS INTO IFR DUE TO
LOWER CIGS AND VIS. EXPECT THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION FROM EAST TO WEST AROUND 02-03Z THROUGH 10-11Z.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 314 PM MST MON FEB 16 2026
ACTIVE WINTER WEATHER AND NOTABLE AVIATION IMPACTS CONTINUE TO
BE FORECAST FOR AIRPORTS ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL WYOMING OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS A STRONG WEATHER SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE
REGION.
KJAC IS LIKELY TO SEE SEVERAL HOURS OF MODERATE SNOW,
VISIBILITY ISSUES, AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS BEGINNING AROUND
MIDNIGHT AND LASTING UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. OTHER SITES
WEST OF THE DIVIDE (KPNA, KBPI, KRKS) WILL ALSO SEE PERIODS OF
SNOW AND WINTRY CONDITIONS.
THOSE LOCATIONS THAT AVOID SNOW AND VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL STILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH VERY STRONG
WINDS, ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE DIVIDE. GUSTY WINDS BEGIN
OVERNIGHT FOR THE TYPICAL WINDY LOCATIONS (SUCH AS KCPR) AND
IMPACT THE WHOLE STATE DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS TUESDAY. IN THE
COUPLE HOURS BEFORE WINDS MIX DOWN, MANY LOCATIONS ARE LIKELY TO
EXPERIENCE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND TURBULENCE AS THE STRONG
MID-ATMOSPHERE WINDS MIX DOWN TOWARDS THE SURFACE.
OF NOTE FOR THIS FORECAST ARE LOCATIONS IN THE LEE OF NEARBY
MOUNTAIN RANGES (SUCH AS KCOD, KBYG, AND KLND), WHICH COULD
EXPERIENCE INTENSE DOWNSLOPE WINDS, WITH GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 KT AT
TIMES. NOT ALL MODELS HAVE THIS WIND SIGNATURE, BUT THERE IS A
30 TO 40% CHANCE OF THIS OCCURRING, AND WINDS THIS STRONG ARE
OFTEN IMPACTFUL EVEN FOR THOSE ON THE AIRPORT GROUNDS.
WINDS CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS TUESDAY, BEFORE
TAPERING OFF OVERNIGHT.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0008 UTC TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 445 PM MST MON FEB 16 2026
A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS, PRESENTING MULTIPLE AVIATION HAZARDS FOR THE AREA. WHILE WIND
GUSTS WILL EASE FOR MOST TERMINALS AFTER SUNSET SHORTLY, LLWS IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AT MOST TERMINALS AS
WINDS ALOFT INCREASE. SURFACE WIND GUSTS WILL RETURN TO RWL AND LAR
BEFORE SUNRISE (INITIALLY SSW) ALONG WITH A CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE LOCALLY INTENSE, AND
COULD BRIEFLY DROP VIS INTO THE LIFR CATEGORY AT RWL AND LAR BETWEEN
ABOUT 2AM AND 9AM. MULTIPLE ROUNDS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS, FOLLOWED BY A LATE MORNING LULL, AND THEN ADDITIONAL
ACTIVITY IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE IS LOWER CONFIDENCE IN IMPACTS FROM
THE AFTERNOON ROUND.
STRONG WINDS WILL SPREAD EASTWARD TUESDAY MORNING AND TURN MORE
WESTERLY AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. ALL TERMINALS WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO SEE CONSISTENT GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS AND POSSIBLY A
BRIEF GUST TO 60 KNOTS. THE STRONGEST GUSTS WILL BE LATE MORNING
THROUGH MID AFTERNOON, AFTER WHICH TIME WE SHOULD SEE WINDS
GRADUALLY START TO EASE. WHILE THIS WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE TAF
YET, THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY FOR VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS
DUE TO BLOWING DUST TUESDAY, MAINLY IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE.

ISSUED AT 413 PM MST MON FEB 16 2026
VFR EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AT BOTH KGLD AND KMCK THROUGH TONIGHT.
ON TUESDAY, SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE BY AROUND 16-17Z AS THE
INVERSION BREAKS, WITH GUSTS RAPIDLY INCREASING TO 30-50KTS AND
CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS IN
BLOWING DUST MAY BECOME A CONCERN, ESPECIALLY AT KGLD.

ISSUED AT 413 PM CST MON FEB 16 2026
VFR IS EXPECTED THROUGH TAF PD. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE AIR QUALITY
MODEL IS FORECASTING DUST FOR TOMORROW. HAVE GONE WITH 6 SM MILES
AND BLDU. THE WINDS WILL BE VERY STRONG TOMORROW AND THERE IS A CHANCE
THAT VISIBILITIES COULD BE EVEN LOWER. DON'T HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE
THOUGH ON EXACTLY HOW LOW VIS WILL GET. OTHERWISE, WINDS ARE THE
MAIN CONCERN FOR TOMORROW. VERY STRONG SW TO W WINDS OF 30-40 KT
WITH GUSTS 50+ KT LIKELY. A STRONG LLJ WILL PROMOTE LLWS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 530 PM CST MON FEB 16 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY FORECAST WITH THIS TAF CYCLE. BREEZY
SOUTHWEST WINDS INITIALLY WILL BECOME VERY STRONG SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE TOMORROW. SOUTHWEST WINDS WITH GUSTS UPWARDS OF 45-55 KTS
ARE EXPECTED AT ALL SITES. BLOWING DUST MAY LEAD TO REDUCED
VISIBILITY AT THE TERMINALS DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS TOMORROW,
BUT CONFIDENCE IN JUST HOW WIDESPREAD ANY DUST WILL BE IS
UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AROUND 45-55 KTS AT
1-2K FT AGL IS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT BEFORE SURFACE WINDS INCREASE
AFTER SUNRISE. HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE IN OVER THE
REGION.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 443 PM MST MON FEB 16 2026
WINDS JUST OFF THE SFC WILL RAPIDLY INTENSIFY FROM THE WEST OVER
THE NEXT 6-12 HOURS, CREATING LLWS AT MOST SITES OUTSIDE OF THE
RIO GRANDE VALLEY, WHICH SHOULD REMAIN SHELTERED ENOUGH. WINDS AT
THE SFC WILL SLOWLY INTENSIFY OVERNIGHT, BECOMING MUCH STRONGER
AFTER AROUND 15Z TOMORROW WHEN THE BOUNDARY LAYER DEEPENS. A
PACIFIC FRONT WILL ENTER FROM THE WEST AROUND 09Z, RAPIDLY MOVING
EASTWARD THROUGH THE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. RA/SN WILL
ACCOMPANY THE FRONTAL PASSAGE, WITH RAIN CHANGING OVER TO SNOW AS
TEMPERATURES RAPIDLY DROP. ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT LIKELY ON
RUNWAYS GIVEN THE WARM SFC TEMPS, BUT BLSN COULD BRIEFLY REDUCE
VISIBILITY LOWER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST IN TAFS AT SITES SUCH AS
KGUP AND KFMN. SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS THE APPROACH THE
RGV, WITH LOW CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WILL PRODUCE RAIN THAT REACHES
THE GROUND AT KABQ AND KAEG. VERY STRONG WINDS ARE LIKELY
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE REGION TOMORROW, WITH GUSTS OF 35 TO 55
KTS COMMONPLACE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS MAY CREATE
AREAS OF BLOWING DUST IN EASTERN NM, ALTHOUGH THE COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT AT THIS TIME.
