GRAND JUNCTION AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1137 UTC SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 534 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2026
SHOWERS COVER MOST OF THE AREA WITH ILS TO IFR CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING IN LIGHT PRECIPITATION AND LOWER CLOUDS. AS WE MOVE
THROUGH THE DAY, INSTABILITY INCREASES INTRODUCING THE THREAT
OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES COULD LEAD TO
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS FOR BRIEF PERIODS. GUSTY WINDS NEAR STORMS
AND SHOWERS ARE LIKELY AS WELL. SOME OF THE MOUNTAIN TERMINALS
WILL SEE SNOW AGAIN AFTER TEMPERATURES COOL THIS EVENING.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 534 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2026
SHOWERS COVER MOST OF THE AREA WITH ILS TO IFR CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING IN LIGHT PRECIPITATION AND LOWER CLOUDS. AS WE MOVE
THROUGH THE DAY, INSTABILITY INCREASES INTRODUCING THE THREAT
OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES COULD LEAD TO
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS FOR BRIEF PERIODS. GUSTY WINDS NEAR STORMS
AND SHOWERS ARE LIKELY AS WELL. SOME OF THE MOUNTAIN TERMINALS
WILL SEE SNOW AGAIN AFTER TEMPERATURES COOL THIS EVENING.

A CHALLENGING FORECAST THIS MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.
CLOUD DECKS HAVE DROPPED WELL BELOW LIFR AND INTO THE VLIFR
CONDITIONS AT KCYS, KLAR, AND KSNY. FOG HAS BEEN ROLLING ACROSS
MANY TERMINALS, OSCILLATING THE VISIBILITY FROM AROUND 1/2 MILE
TO 3 MILES ACROSS MANY TERMINALS. THIS OSCILLATION WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS, WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF IMPROVED
VISIBILITY, BUT VERY LOW CEILINGS WILL REMAIN. CEILINGS WILL
START TO LIFT IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS BEFORE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOP FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST. ANY SHOWER OR STORM THAT DEVELOPS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS. BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WILL BE
AT THE KCYS, KLAR, AND KSNY WHERE PROB30 GROUPS HAVE BEEN ADDED
TO THE TAFS. CEILINGS BEGIN TO DROP ONCE MORE THIS EVENING INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH VISIBILITIES FOLLOWING SOON AFTER.

LOW CEILINGS WILL IMPACT BOTH KGLD AND KMCK FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY SUNDAY. AT KMCK,
MORNING SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL
RESULT IN OCCASIONAL VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS, ENDING BY AROUND
17Z. AT KGLD, MID AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE, WITH ABOUT A 30% CHANCE OF DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE
TERMINAL WITH REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITY AND CEILINGS. A SEVERE
STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT KGLD, WHICH WOULD ADDITIONALLY
BRING A THREAT OF HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 545 AM CDT SUN APR 26 2026
LOW CLOUDS WITH FOG WILL DOMINATE MUCH OF THE TAF TIME PERIOD
FOR ALL THE TERMINALS WITH IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z.
BY 19Z DRIER AIR SHOULD START TO LIFT THE CEILINGS AT LBL TO VFR
AND AT GCK AND DDC BY 22Z. HYS WILL HAVE A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF
STAYING IN IFR TO MVFR FLIGHT CATEGORY THROUGH 12Z MONDAY.
SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE AROUND THE
TERMINALS THIS MORNING AND AGAIN THIS EVENING. AS A RESULT
PROB30 AND TEMPOS ARE IN THE TAFS TO REFLECT THE THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL. THE STRONGER STORM SYSTEM THIS EVENING COULD LEAD TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AROUND GCK, DDC, AND POSSIBLY HYS BETWEEN
22-05Z. THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS OVER 50 KTS AND
LARGE HAIL.

SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME STRONG BY MID-TO-LATE MORNING WITH
GUSTS FROM 35-45 KT IN THE AFTERNOON, EXCEPT FOR PEAK GUSTS AROUND
50 KT ACROSS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND PARTS OF THE
EASTERN PLAINS. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH MUCH OR ALL OF
TONIGHT EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. IN ADDITION, SCATTERED-
TO-ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TODAY AND
TONIGHT MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS,
WHERE THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION AS WELL. THE
FARTHER SOUTH YOU GO FROM THE CO BORDER, THE LIGHTER THE SHOWERS
WILL BE. THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME GUSTY VIRGA SHOWERS IN THE
MIX THE CLOSER YOU GET TO I-40 ON THE SOUTH END OF THE SHOWERY
AREA. INSTABILITY LOOKS SUFFICIENT THIS AFTERNOON FOR ISOLATED
AND GUSTY DRY THUNDERSTORMS FROM LAS VEGAS TO RATON, AND ALSO FROM
RATON TO CLAYTON, ON THE EAST END OF THE SHOWERY AREA. IN
ADDITION, THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHT SNOW TODAY AND TONIGHT NEAR AND
ABOVE 9,000 FEET IN ELEVATION NEAR THE CO BORDER, WHERE MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS WILL BE THE MOST PERSISTENT.
