DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1143 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 540 AM MDT FRI AUG 28 2026
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. THE MAIN
CONCERN IN THIS PERIOD IS THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY, HIGH-BASED
CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
DRAINAGE WINDS HAVE GENERALLY PREVAILED OVERNIGHT. A BORE DID PASS
THROUGH RECENTLY BUT DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT TO
SURFACE WINDS AT THE TERMINALS. A TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERN, WITH
WINDS SLOWLY TURNING CLOCKWISE, IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. SCATTERED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON MAY
LEAD TO PERIODS OF VARIABLE/GUSTY WINDS UNTIL DRAINAGE REDEVELOPS
LATER THIS EVENING.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 510 AM MDT FRI AUG 28 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA OVER THE
NEXT 24 HRS, INCLUDING THE THREE MAIN TAF SITES OF KCOS, KPUB AND
KALS. PLAN ON GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AT KALS DUE
TO OUTFLOW FROM EXPECTED CONVECTION ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.
KCOS AND KPUB MAY SEE ENHANCED WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS FROM HIGH-
BASED CONVECTION OVER THE EASTERN MTS, BUT FEEL THAT STORMS WILL NOT
APPROACH TERMINAL SITES.

KSLC...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST AND REMAIN OVERALL
LIGHT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SHOWERS DEVELOPING AFTER 15Z
ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH MAY RESULT IN MORE VARIABLE WINDS THROUGH THE
MORNING BEFORE SHIFTING NORTHWESTERLY AFTER 18Z. CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES TO A 30% CHANCE BETWEEN 21-01Z, WITH A BRIEF
LULL IN ACTIVITY BEFORE A MORE WELL-DEFINED LINE OF STORMS MOVES IN
LATER IN THE EVENING. STORMS TOMORROW WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS WITH GUSTS 35 TO 40 KTS POSSIBLE.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DWINDLE
ACROSS THE AIRSPACE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. ISOLATED SHOWERS DEVELOPING AFTER 15Z ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHERN UTAH MAY RESULT IN VARIABLE WINDS FOR SOME TERMINALS
THROUGH THE MORNING. OTHERWISE, WINDS REMAIN GENERALLY LIGHT AND
DIURNALLY DRIVEN ACROSS THE REST OF THE AIRSPACE THROUGH THE
MORNING. WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER 19-21Z
ACROSS MUCH OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING, MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. A LULL IN ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED ACROSS
NORTHERN UTAH IN THE EVENING BEFORE A MORE DEVELOPED AREA OF
THUNDERSTORMS MOVES THROUGH LATE IN THE EVENING INTO EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. STORMS TOMORROW WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY AND
ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS, WITH ISOLATED GUSTS TO 50 KTS POSSIBLE.

ISSUED AT 555 AM MDT FRI AUG 28 2026
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD, WITH THE GREATEST COVERAGE ACROSS WEST
AND NORTHWEST WYOMING. SHOWER CHANCES WILL INCREASE AND BE ONGOING
THROUGH THE MORNING AT KJAC AND KCOD. AT KBPI, KPNA, AND KWRL,
MORNING SHOWERS WILL BE MORE SPORADIC AND GENERALLY IN THE AREA OF
THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE MORNING. BETWEEN 19Z AND 21Z, SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASE AT ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND IS REFLECTED IN THE TAFS BY EITHER PREVAILING OR PROB30 GROUPS.
THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE GUSTY 35 TO 40KT OUTFLOWS AND LOW VFR
CEILINGS. A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED ACROSS
WESTERN AND SOUTHERN WYOMING LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A SECOND WAVE OF
SHOWERS IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE AREAS OF OR AT KJAC, KRKS,
KRIW, KPNA, KBPI, AND KLND AFTER SUNSET. CONFIDENCE IN OVERNIGHT
MVFR CEILINGS AT KJAC HAS INCREASED TO 30 PERCENT AND IS REFLECTED
IN A PROB30 GROUP. KBPI AND KPNA EACH HAVE A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF
MVFR CEILINGS OVERNIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL REFLECTED IN A FEW030 OR
SCT020 GROUP. OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS, GUSTY 20 TO 30KT WINDS ARE
FORECAST AT MOST TERMINALS FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

TODAY WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 KNOTS. RAIN SHOWER ACTIVITY AND SOME
EMBEDDED THUNDER POSSIBLE, BUT COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS
UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MAY RESULT
IN BRIEF STRONG WIND GUSTS AT TIMES, BUT MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS
APPEAR UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME DUE TO HIGH CLOUD BASES.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 622 AM CDT FRI AUG 28 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS MORNING, LLWS IS EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE AS A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET REMAINS OVERHEAD. HOWEVER,
STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY MID MORNING,
WHICH WILL ALLOW A STEADY INCREASE IN WIND SPEED OUT OF THE SOUTH,
BECOMING GUSTY BY LATE MORNING LASTING INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP THIS EVENING
AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TRACKS ACROSS THE REGION, HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW ON STORMS REACHING EITHER KLBF OR KVTN TERMINALS, SO
HAVE OMITTED FROM TAFS FOR NOW. OVERNIGHT, EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN
STEADY OUT OF THE SOUTH, EVENTUALLY CALMING AFTER MIDNIGHT.

(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 528 AM MDT FRI AUG 28 2026
A MODERATE CHANCE EXISTS FOR PATCHY FOG TO IMPACT THE MORENO
VALLEY, INCLUDING KAXX, THROUGH 14Z. OTHERWISE, A QUIET MORNING
IS IN STORE. STORMS WILL REDEVELOP NEAR OR SHORTLY AFTER 18Z TODAY
ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF FREQUENT
LIGHTNING, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS, AS WELL AS BRIEF HEAVY
RAINFALL. MOVEMENT WILL BE SLOW AND ERRATIC ACROSS WESTERN NM, BUT
SHOULD GENERALLY MOVE TOWARD THE SOUTH ELSEWHERE. BRIEF MVFR
VSBYS MAY OCCUR IN HEAVY RAIN. MORE STORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
WESTERN NM THAN WHAT OCCURRED ON THURSDAY, BUT FEWER STORMS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE EAST. MOST STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH BY 06Z SAT.
CONFIDENCE IS GENERALLY LOW THAT ANY TAF SITE WILL BE IMPACTED BY
STORMS, BUT KGUP HAS THE GREATEST CHANCE OF ANY.
