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.

SHOWERS DEVELOP IN STRONGER CONVECTION. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AND
HEAVY RAINFALL RATES ARE EXPECTED AT TIMES IN ANY STORM. THE
MOUNTAIN TAF SITES CAN EXPECT PERIODS OF LOW CEILINGS AND REDUCED
VISIBILITY WITH THESE STORMS ALONG WITH AREAS OF TERRAIN

ISSUED AT 1110 AM MDT THU SEP 17 2026
A VARIETY OF HAZARDS TODAY ACROSS SE WYOMING AND THE NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE TODAY, AS NUMEROUS ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS THIS
AFTERNOON OUTSIDE OF ANY OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
WHERE MVFR CIGS AND VIS WILL BE IN PLACE. ANY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
VICINITY OF THE TERMINALS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS, HOWEVER THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THESE STRONGER STORMS
IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN, AND FUTURE AMENDMENTS WILL BE NECESSARY IF ONE
OF THESE STORMS HAPPENS TO BE IN THE PROXIMITY, WITH THE HIGHEST
CONFIDENCE BEING IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN
IFR CIGS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT FOR THE NEBRASKA TERMINALS, AS
LOW CLOUDS AND STRATUS ARE EXPECTED TO HANG ON GIVEN LIGHT WINDS AND
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. CAN EXPECT BRIEF VIS DROPS DOWN TO 2SM IN/AROUND
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

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.
