DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1800 UTC SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1155 AM MDT SAT AUG 29 2026
WINDS HAVE BEEN RATHER VARIABLE AND UNDER 10 KTS THIS MORNING, BUT
WILL START TO SETTLE IN A MORE WESTERLY DIRECTION OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS. ANOTHER WINDY/STORMY AFTERNOON REMAINS LIKELY AT ALL
THREE SITES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR
MULTIPLE WAVES OF HIGH-BASED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A TEMPO
GROUP IS IN PLACE STARTING AT 20Z TO COVER THIS. DCAPE VALUES
COULD REACH AROUND 1300 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON TRANSLATING INTO WIND
GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS EVEN IF A SHOWER IS ONLY NEARBY AND DOES
NOT NECESSARILY PASS DIRECTLY OVER THE LOCATION.
THERE COULD BE A BRIEF LULL IN THE EARLY EVENING, BUT SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING. AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY/PSEUDO-FRONT IS MOST LIKELY AROUND 2-4Z WITH SOME
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AND WINDS FROM THE NORTH
WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO TURN TO DRAINAGE TONIGHT AFTER THE SHOWERS
SUBSIDE. BY TOMORROW MORNING, WINDS WILL START TO TURN CLOCKWISE
TO NNW FOR THE AFTERNOON. WE HAVE INTRODUCED A PROB30 STARTING AT
20Z TOMORROW FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF HIGH-BASED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS BRINGING SIMILAR WIND GUSTS TO THIS AFTERNOON.

PUEBLO AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1831 UTC SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1138 AM MDT SAT AUG 29 2026
MAINLY DRY AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE TAF SITES
THIS FORECAST PERIOD. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE FOR A FEW HOUR
WINDOW THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING WHERE A LOW CHANCE FOR
AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IS EXPECTED OVER ALL OF THE
TAF SITES. IF A SHOWER OR STORM WERE TO MOVE ACROSS THE TAF
SITES, IT WOULD BE BRIEF. HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY ADDITIONAL
MENTION OF PRECIP, HOWEVER, SOME OF THE SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IS
INDICATING SOME RETURNING SHOWERS ACROSS ALS DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT POTENTIAL.
WINDS ACROSS THE SITES WILL BEGIN ON THE LIGHTER SIDE BUT WILL
INCREASE INTO THE AFTERNOON OUT OF THE WEST SOUTHWEST. THERE MAY
BE A PERIOD WHERE A DIURNAL COMPONENT OCCURS AT PUB AND COS AND
IF SO, THE DIRECTIONS WILL BE MORE SOUTH SOUTHEAST. THIS SHOULD
BE BRIEF WITH A RETURN TO A WESTERLY COMPONENT LIKELY DUE TO
THE PREVAILING WINDS ALONG WITH SOME LIKELY OUTFLOW. LASTLY,
ALSO MONITORING A LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCE FOR INCREASED NORTHERLY
WINDS AND GUSTS LATE THIS EVENING FOR COS AND PUB. DID TREND
THIS WAY, BUT LATER FORECASTS MAY NEED TO INCREASE SPEEDS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1147 AM MDT SAT AUG 29 2026
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD
AS A MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES. ALL TERMINALS ARE EXPECTED
TO SEE IMPACTS, MOST PERSISTENTLY AT KBPI, KJAC, KPNA, AND KRKS.
BRIEF HEAVY RAIN AND LOW CLOUDS WILL LEAD TO OCCASIONAL MVFR
CONDITIONS. THE MORE WIDESPREAD IMPACT WILL LIKELY BE STRONG OUTFLOW
WIND GUSTING 30 TO 40 KNOTS. THERE IS ALSO A MORE ISOLATED THREAT OF
GUSTS TO AROUND 50 KNOTS AT KCPR, KLND, KRIW, AND KRKS BETWEEN 18Z
AND 00Z AS STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. AFTER A
RELATIVE LULL AROUND 00Z SUNDAY, THE NEXT WAVE OF SHOWERS WILL
FOLLOW QUICKLY, FIRST ACROSS KRKS WITH CHANCES INCREASING TO THE
NORTH OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL THEN
MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, WITH MOST OF
THIS ENDING BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. LOW CLOUDS WILL LEAD TO
FREQUENT MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION THROUGH THE PERIOD, ESPECIALLY ACROSS
WESTERN WYOMING THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1123 AM MDT SAT AUG 29 2026
VFR ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA MAY GIVE WAY TO MVFR THROUGH THE
EVENING AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AND OVERSPREAD
EASTERN WY AND WESTERN NE. THE SCATTERED OR EMBEDDED NATURE OF
THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION WILL RESULT IN PERIODIC DROPS IN
CEILINGS TO AROUND 5KFT AND POSSIBLY LOWER. ALSO KEPT COVERAGE
AT PROB30. PERHAPS THE GREATER CONCERN WILL BE GUSTY ERRATIC
WINDS ACCOMPANYING ANY STORM, WITH SPEEDS OF 40+ KTS POSSIBLE,
ESPECIALLY FOR WY TERMINALS. MOST OF THE STORM ACTIVITY SHOULD
WANE BY 30/06Z, BUT GUSTY WINDS WILL REMAIN OVERNIGHT FOR KLAR
AND KRWL.

ISSUED AT 1104 AM MDT SAT AUG 29 2026
FOR KGLD & KMCK... VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT BOTH SITES
THROUGH THE PERIOD. WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE
THROUGH ABOUT 06-09Z WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE AREA.
AFTER THAT, WINDS SHOULD STABILIZE FROM THE NORTHWEST AT 5-10
KTS. BETWEEN 21-09Z, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT A THUNDERSTORM OR
TWO COULD MOVE OVER EITHER OF THE TERMINALS. THE STORMS WOULD
LIKELY MOVE IN FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST IF THEY FORM. BE ALERT
FOR WIND GUSTS OF 40-60 KTS SHOULD A STORM PASS OVER. FINALLY,
THE LAST CONDITION OF NOTE IS LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AROUND
400-600FT WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENING TO AROUND 45 KTS.
THE CHANCE THAT EITHER SITE IS IMPACTED IS LOW AS THE FRONT
SHOULD KEEP THE JET JUST SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL, BUT THE BEST
WINDOW FOR LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS AROUND 03-09Z.

SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS MOST AREAS. SOME LOCATIONS ALONG
