DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1141 UTC THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 540 AM MDT THU SEP 17 2026
THE MAIN CONCERN TODAY WILL BE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THERE'S
STILL A FAIR AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW SHOWERS AND STORMS
WILL EVOLVE, GIVEN EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS BUT CONSIDERABLE MOISTURE
ADVECTION AND WEAK LIFT.
WE HAVE A PRETTY SOLID MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK IN PLACE NOW, WHICH
WILL STICK AROUND FOR MOST OF THE DAY WITH ONLY A FEW BRIEF
BREAKS. NEXT BATCH OF RICHER MOISTURE IS TIMED IN BY 18Z-19Z,
WHICH WILL INTRODUCE A CHANCE OF LIGHT SHOWERS TO START. WE THINK
THE MAIN CONVECTIVE STORM THREAT WOULD LIKELY HOLD OFF UNTIL AT
LEAST 21Z, IF NOT LATER, AND THEN LAST TIL ABOUT 01Z-02Z DURING
OUR PEAK INSTABILITY. DUE TO THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE, IF A
STRONGER STORM DOES DEVELOP AND MOVE 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. SOME MODEL GUIDANCE KEEPS
SHOWERS IN THE AREA AS LATE AS 04Z, PROMPTING A PROB30 ON THE BACK
END.
REGARDING WINDS, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE BUT FOR NOW WE THINK
WE'LL STAY LIGHT S-SE, OR EVEN VRB FOR A FEW HOURS, 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.

CONTINUING INTO THE MORNING HOURS. THE MOUNTAIN TAF SITES CAN
EXPECT PERIODS OF LOW CEILINGS AND REDUCED VISIBILITY WITH THESE
STORMS ALONG WITH AREAS OF TERRAIN OBSCURATION. SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE MORE PERSISTENT THURSDAY WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE ISOLATED BY SUNSET WITH IMPROVING
CONDITIONS.

MOVE OUT OF COLORADO AND MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE MORNING,
IMPACTING MAINLY KRKS, KCPR, KRIW AND KLND THROUGH AROUND 18Z.
OTHER SHOWERS WILL IMPACT KJAC UNTIL AROUND 16Z THIS MORNING.
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AND POSSIBLY AGAIN LATE TONIGHT ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL
HIGH UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING AND POSITION OF THE AFTERNOON AND
NIGHTTIME SHOWERS. WIND SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN LESS THAN 11
KNOTS. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE IN AND AROUND ANY THUNDERSTORMS OR
EVEN SHOWERS WHERE A GUST TO 35 TO 40 KNOTS CAN'T BE RULED OUT.
CONDITIONS SHOULD BE LARGELY VFR, ALTHOUGH OCCASIONAL MVFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AROUND SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
MOUNTAINS WILL BE OBSCURED AT TIMES AROUND SHOWERS AT TIMES,
ESPECIALLY ABOVE 9000 FEET.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.

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.

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS CONTINUE EARLY THIS MORNING AROUND THE REGION.
MVFR TO BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS HAVE OCCURRED WITH HEAVIER SHOWERS,
WHICH CURRENTLY FOCUS ALONG THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY SOUTH OF I-40.
THESE SHOWERS WILL CLEAR FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THIS MORNING THROUGH
THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
STORMS WITH HEAVIER RAINFALL RATES WILL FAVOR WESTERN AND NORTHERN
NM THIS AFTERNOON BETWEEN 20Z AND 03Z, WITH LESSER COVERAGE
ACROSS THE EAST. ANOTHER SWATH OF SHOWERS WILL MOVE IN FROM THE
SOUTH TONIGHT, WITH PERSISTENT SHOWERS LIKELY ACROSS MUCH OF
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NM OVERNIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING.
CONFIDENCE IN MVFR CIGS TONIGHT IS LOWER THAN THIS MORNING AS IT
LOOKS LIKE CLOUD BASES SHOULD REMAIN SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
