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.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2318 UTC MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2026
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 /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1035 PM MST MON FEB 16 2026
A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM IS BEGINNING TO APPROACH THE AREA,
PRODUCING GUSTY SOUTHERLIES AND LLWS IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE.
GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT RWL AND LAR BEFORE
SUNRISE, WITH LLWS WHEN SURFACE WINDS ARE RELATIVELY WEAK. THE
NEXT HAZARD WILL BE SNOW SHOWERS MOVING INTO RWL AND LAR BETWEEN
10Z AND 15Z. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO LEAD TO BRIEF VIS
DROPS, LIKELY INTO IFR TERRITORY, AND POSSIBLY LIFR.
AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PROGRESSES EASTWARD, IT WILL RUN OUT OF
MOISTURE PASSING THE LARAMIE RANGE. INSTEAD, EXPECT A RAPID
SURGE IN SW TO W WINDS FROM WEST TO EAST BEGINNING WITH CYS
BETWEEN 15-16Z, AND INTO THE NE PANHANDLE TERMINALS BY AROUND
MIDDAY. WIDESPREAD, CONSISTENT GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS, WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR BRIEF GUSTS
UP TO AROUND 60 KNOTS. THIS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON
BEFORE GRADUALLY WEAKENING THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.
AN ADDITIONAL ROUND OF SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS IS EXPECTED OVER
WYOMING DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. PROB30
GROUPS AT LAR AND RWL HANDLE THIS HAZARD. THE STRONG DOWNSLOPE
WINDS FURTHER EAST WILL MAINLY CONFINE THIS AREA WEST OF THE
LARAMIE RANGE, BUT AN ISOLATED SNOW SHOWER SPILLING INTO CYS
CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1025 PM MST MON FEB 16 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY FORECAST FOR THIS TAF PERIOD BUT
WITH SOME CAVEATS THROWN IN THERE. FIRST OFF, WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
NIGHT. LLWS IS ALSO A CONCERN THROUGH THE NIGHT AS THE LOW LEVE
WIND FIELD INCREASES. IF SLIGHTLY HIGHER WINDS CAN MIX DOWN TO
THE SURFACE THEN LLWS MAY NOT BE AS BIG OF AN ISSUE BUT
CURRENTLY AM THINKING THAT WINDS OVER WILL WILL REMAIN AROUND
10-15 KNOTS SUSTAINED. AS SOON AS THE NOCTURNAL INVERSION BREAKS
THIS IS WHEN STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS WILL BEGIN TO MIX DOWN
BETWEEN 40 AND 50 KNOTS. BLOWING DUST LEADING TO A HAZE MAY LEAD
TO SOME CEILINGS LESS THAN 030 BUT CONFIDENCE IN EXACT TIMING
IS NOT THERE TO GO FULL ON MVFR FOR THE TAF AT THIS TIME. SHOULD
A PLUME OF DUST MOVE OVER A TERMINAL THEN THEN THIS IS WHERE
FLIGHT CATEGORY REDUCTIONS COULD COME IN TO PLAY. THINK THE
FAVORED TIME IS BETWEEN 16 AND 20Z WITH HIGHER CONFIDENCE FOR
THE GLD TERMINAL WHERE THE STRONGER WINDS ARE FAVORED.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1111 PM CST MON FEB 16 2026
A STRONG LLJ WILL PROMOTE LLWS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. 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.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1058 PM CST MON FEB 16 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED WITH THIS TAF CYCLE. BREEZY
SOUTHWEST WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL QUICKLY STRENGTHEN AFTER SUNRISE.
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR UPWARDS OF 50 KTS AT 1-2K FT AGL WILL DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST
THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30-45 KTS AND GUSTS UP
TO 55 KTS. BLOWING DUST MAY OCCUR AT THE TERMINALS WHICH COULD
REDUCE VISIBILITY BELOW VFR. HAVE KEPT THE SITES AT VFR DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARDS TO THE BLOWING DUST POTENTIAL. WINDS
WILL SLOWLY DECREASE TOWARDS THE END OF THIS TAF PERIOD. OVERCAST
HIGH CLOUDS SHOULD EVENTUALLY CLEAR OUT TOWARDS THE END OF THIS 24
HOUR PERIOD.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1033 PM MST MON FEB 16 2026
WINDS AT THE SFC ARE CURRENTLY LIGHT IN MOST AREAS BUT WILL
INCREASE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS WINDS ALOFT RAPIDLY
INTENSIFY OUT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM. LLWS
WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST, AFFECTING MOST
AREAS OUTSIDE OF SHELTERED VALLEYS SUCH AS THE RGV. WINDS BECOME
GUSTY LATE MORNING IN MOST AREAS, WITH WIND GUSTS PEAKING LATE
MORNING THROUGH THE MID-AFTERNOON WHEN GUSTS OF 35 TO 55 KTS WILL
BE COMMONPLACE AROUND THE REGION. BLOWING DUST IS LIKELY IN
PORTIONS OF EASTERN NM, WITH POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT VIS
REDUCTIONS AT KROW IF DUST SOURCES ARE ACTIVATED. WINDS BEGIN TO
DIMINISH AFTER 00Z TOMORROW, WITH A BRISK WEST WIND HOLDING ON IN
MANY AREAS THROUGH THE EVENING.
A PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL ENTER WESTERN NM AROUND 09Z, QUICKLY
TREKKING EASTWARD THROUGH THE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. A BURST
OF RAIN/SNOW WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT, WITH BRIEFLY REDUCED
VISIBILITIES LIKELY GIVEN THE STRONG WINDS. MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS
WILL BE RELATIVELY BRIEF (<4 HOURS) OUTSIDE OF THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS WHERE SNOW WILL BE MORE PERSISTENT.
