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.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1111 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2026
AN ACTIVE WEATHER PERIOD. WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CHANCES OCCUR
THROUGH TODAY AND INTO MONDAY MORNING. INDIVIDUAL TAFS VARY GREATLY
BY PRECIPITATION TYPE, TIMING, AND CLOUD CEILINGS. HOWEVER, THE
OVERALL TREND IS FOR MVFR AND IFR PREVAILING CONDITIONS MOST
LOCATIONS. THIS AFTERNOON, SHOWERS BECOME MORE SCATTERED, SO RAIN
MAY NOT PREVAIL, BUT SHOULD OCCUR FREQUENTLY ENOUGH THAT PREVAILING
GROUPS WERE USED. A COLD FRONT THEN MOVES THROUGH STARTING THIS
EVENING, BRINGING A NORTH WIND SHIFT (STRONGEST FOR KCOD, KCPR, AND
KWRL) AND COLDER TEMPERATURES, TRANSITIONING RAIN TO SNOW.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES TREND DOWN OVERNIGHT, WITH MODELS IN
DISAGREEMENT IN HOW QUICKLY CLOUD CEILINGS INCREASE TO VFR. FOR NOW,
HAVE TAFS WITH MORE PESSIMISTIC CEILINGS, KEEPING MVFR CLOUDS
CEILINGS TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD.
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 MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 518 AM MDT SUN APR 26 2026
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.
