DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0547 UTC THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1147 PM MDT WED SEP 16 2026
WINDS ARE ATTEMPTING TO SETTLE FROM THE S-SW, AND FOR THE MOST
PART RAIN SHOWERS WERE FOCUSED TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF KDEN.
THUS, A MOSTLY S-SW COMPONENT SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE. THERE HASN'T
BEEN TOO MUCH OUTFLOW FROM THESE SHOWERS SINCE THE AIRMASS IS
FINALLY MORE MOIST AND LESS DCAPE. WE WILL KEEP A PROB30 OF -SHRA
THROUGH ABOUT 10Z AS SOME SHOWERS ARE STILL COMING UP FROM THE
SOUTH. KBJC AND AREAS WEST OF I-25 SHOULD SEE A LITTLE BETTER
CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVERNIGHT GIVEN CURRENT TRAJECTORIES AND A
LITTLE EASTERLY COMPONENT STILL IN PLACE.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL HAVE HIGHER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS
DUE TO AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND WEAK LIFT FROM A PASSING
WEATHER DISTURBANCE. DUE TO THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE, IF A
SHOWER/STORM MOVES DIRECTLY ACROSS AN AIRPORT VISIBILITY COULD BE
BRIEFLY REDUCED TO 1-2SM. THE ODDS OF THAT ARE LOW SO WE'VE ONLY
GONE WITH THE TEMPO -TSRA FOR NOW, WITH GUSTY VRB WINDS TO 30 KTS,
OF COURSE. THERE IS MINIMAL DCAPE (~500 J/KG), BUT ENOUGH
ENVIRONMENTAL WIND AND POTENTIAL PRECIPITATION LOADING FOR THE
GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS. THAT TEMPO WILL BE FOR THE HIGHEST
PROBABILITY PERIOD OF 21Z-01Z, BUT COULD BE AN HOUR OR TWO LATER.
SOME MODEL GUIDANCE KEEPS SHOWERS IN THE AREA AS LATE AS 04Z,
PROMPTING A PROB30 ON THE BACK END. FINALLY, REGARDING WINDS
TOMORROW, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE BUT FOR NOW WE THINK WE'LL START
MOSTLY VRB BY AROUND 14Z, TRANSITIONING TO A SE OR EVEN S-SW WIND
DEPENDING ON ARRIVAL TIME OF SHOWERS. THOSE SHOULD COULD BE IN
THE VICINITY AS EARLY AS 16Z. POST-CONVECTION WINDS LOOK PRETTY
MESSY AT THE TIME, BUT IN THIS SCENARIO THEY WOULD FAVOR A
NORTHEASTERLY BACKFLOW FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO
NORMAL S-SW AGAIN AFTER 06Z WITH SUFFICIENT CLEARING.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 930 PM MDT WED SEP 16 2026
PRECIPITATION HAS PRIMARILY ENDED ACROSS THE AREA
TO START THE FORECAST. ANTICIPATE RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS AND
INCREASING CLOUD COVER THROUGH 12Z. SHOWERS WILL MOVE OVER
SOUTHERN PORTIONS AFTER 09Z, SPREADING NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
REST OF THE MORNING. AN ADDITIONAL AREA OF SHOWERS WILL MOVE
OVER FAR WESTERN PORTIONS BY 12Z. PRECIPITATION WILL BE
WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BY 15Z, WITH THE FOCUS
SHIFTING TO WESTERN PORTIONS BY 21Z. CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS
WILL INCREASE IN THE FORECAST BY THIS TIME. SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIALLY EXISTS AT MOST TERMINALS THURSDAY, WITH
CHANCES RANGING FROM 20 PERCENT TO 70 PERCENT. MVFR FLIGHT
CONDITIONS AND GUSTY WINDS CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN ANY SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM. OCCASIONAL MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE LIKELY DUE
TO LOWERING CEILINGS BELOW 10K FT. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AFTER SUNSET.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0523 UTC THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1122 PM MDT WED SEP 16 2026
A TRICKY FORECAST FOR THIS TAF PERIOD IN REGARDS TO SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL ROLL THROUGH THE REGION OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS, IMPACTING ALL THE TERMINALS AT VARYING TIMES. THE MAIN
AVIATION HAZARDS WITH THIS PRECIPITATION WILL BE A REDUCTION OF
VIS AND/OR CIGS DOWN TO MVFR, IN ADDITION THESE STORMS HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BRING GUSTY WINDS UPWARDS OF 35 KNOTS. CONFIDENCE
IS HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS TIME BASED OFF OF IN- HOUSE GUIDANCE TO
INCLUDE PROB30 AND TEMPO GROUPS FOR -TSRA AND -SHRA, RESPECTIVELY
AT ALL THE WYOMING TERMINALS ALSO KBFF AND KAIA. THEN BETWEEN
18Z AND 00Z, CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE A FM GROUP
THAT INCLUDES VIS REDUCTIONS TO 2SM IN +TSRA FOR ALL THE SITES.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FIRST FOR THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS
NEAR THE TAIL END OF THIS TAF PERIOD AS THE PRECIPITATION AND
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES COME TO AN END.

AS OF LATE TONIGHT, PRESENT RADAR WAS PICKING UP A NEW ROUND OF
WEAK SHOWERS THAT ARE SLOWLY SPREADING ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL PANHANDLES. CURRENTLY THESE SHOWERS ARE NOT PRODUCING MUCH
IN TERMS OF IMPACTS WITH MOST INDICATING LIGHT RAINFALL AT BEST.
STILL PRESENT STORM MOTION DOES SUGGEST THAT KGUY MAY SEE SOME
VICINITY ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, SO HAVE CHOSEN TO MAKE
MENTION OF IT IN THE CURRENT PACKAGE. AS FOR THE OTHER TWO
TERMINALS, PRESENT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR THERE TO BE
MENTION, OUTSIDE OF SCATTER CLOUD COVER, IN THE CURRENT PACKAGE.
OTHERWISE THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CLEAR UP BY SUNRISE WITH VFR
