DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2352 UTC THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 550 PM MDT THU SEP 17 2026
SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE STILL HANGING AROUND OVER THE FOOTHILLS
AND NORTH OF THE DENVER METRO AREA. THIS LATE IN THE DAY, IT'S
UNLIKELY THAT ANY THUNDERSTORMS WOULD DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF THE
TAF SITES; HOWEVER, THOSE LINGERING SHOWERS COULD STILL PRODUCE SOME
GUSTY OUTFLOWS, AS COULD SOME OF THE STORMS FURTHER NORTH. AS SUCH,
WE'VE KEPT THE PROB30 THROUGH 02Z FOR -SHRA AND VARIABLE GUSTS.
WINDS WILL STAY VARIABLE AFTER SHOWERS MOVE OUT OF THE AREA AND THEN
SETTLE INTO DRAINAGE AROUND 07Z.
WE EXPECT TO SEE SOME MORE SCATTERED STORMS/SHOWERS LATE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON INTO TOMORROW EVENING. MOISTURE SHOULD STILL BE HIGHER
THAN NORMAL, AND MODELS CURRENTLY HAVE A BIT MORE INSTABILITY OVER
THE AREA THAN WE HAD TODAY. WHILE MOST CONVECTION TOMORROW SHOULD
OCCUR BETWEEN 23Z-03Z, SOME MODELS KEEP SHOWERS AROUND AS LATE AS
06/07Z SATURDAY, SO WE'VE ADDED IN A PROB30 FOR SHOWERS AT THE
END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

QUIETER START TO THE LATE EVENING FORECAST WITH MOST AREAS
RAIN-FREE AND AT VFR CONDITIONS. THERE ARE SOME ILS CIGS IN THE
EASTERN TAF SITES WHICH MAY LINGER PAST SUNRISE. ALSO
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY PROGRESS TOWARD AND
ACROSS KVEL THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. SUPPORT FOR AN
INCREASE IN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE COME AGAIN BY
SUNRISE AND EXPECT MOST TAF SITES WILL BE UNDER THREAT OF A
PASSING SHOWER/STORM THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST.
THERE IS A SMALL PROBABILITY OF MVFR IF THE RIGHT STORM MOVES
THROUGH. ALSO CONFIDENCE IS LOW BUT WILL BE WATCHING FOR STRATUS
AND/OR FOG DEVELOPMENT AT SOME OF THE FAVORED SITES IN THIS
MOIST REGIME.

QUIETER START TO THE LATE EVENING FORECAST WITH MOST AREAS
RAIN-FREE AND AT VFR CONDITIONS. THERE ARE SOME ILS CIGS IN THE
EASTERN TAF SITES WHICH MAY LINGER PAST SUNRISE. ALSO
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY PROGRESS TOWARD AND
ACROSS KVEL THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. SUPPORT FOR AN
INCREASE IN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE COME AGAIN BY
SUNRISE AND EXPECT MOST TAF SITES WILL BE UNDER THREAT OF A
PASSING SHOWER/STORM THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST.
THERE IS A SMALL PROBABILITY OF MVFR IF THE RIGHT STORM MOVES
THROUGH. ALSO CONFIDENCE IS LOW BUT WILL BE WATCHING FOR STRATUS
AND/OR FOG DEVELOPMENT AT SOME OF THE FAVORED SITES IN THIS
MOIST REGIME.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0419 UTC FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2026
AVIATION
KSLC...THE SLC TERMINAL WILL SEE VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS. PERIODIC SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TOMORROW MORNING, MOST LIKELY BETWEEN 10Z AND
12Z, BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS
THROUGH THE MORNING. BY THE LATE AFTERNOON, ADDITIONAL SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP, WITH A 30
PERCENT CHANCE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING
TOMORROW.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE AIRSPACE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE CURRENT ROUND
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
AREA IS DIMINISHING, BUT ANOTHER ROUND IS EXPECTED DURING THE
EARLY MORNING, MOST LIKELY BEGINNING BETWEEN 10Z AND 12Z, FOCUSED
OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AIRSPACE, LASTING THROUGH MUCH OF
THE MORNING. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE THEN
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON, AGAIN PRIMARILY FOR
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AIRSPACE. ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS, LIGHTNING,
AND BRIEF MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1000 PM MDT THU SEP 17 2026
SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE NEAR KJAC THROUGH 18Z. CURRENTLY,
THERE IS A LINE OF CONVECTION OVER THE EASTERN SNAKE RIVER
PLAIN MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST. MOST OF THIS IS EXPECTED TO
STAY WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE TERMINAL, BUT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY FOR POSSIBLE SHOWERS. CONFIDENCE IS STILL TOO LOW TO
INCLUDE INTO THE FORECAST. SHOWERS WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD ACROSS
THE WEST BY SUNRISE, SPREADING EASTWARD THROUGH 20Z.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME POSSIBLE WITHIN THE SHOWERS BY THIS
TIME, WITH AN ADDITIONAL WAVE MOVING INTO THE WEST. ALL
TERMINALS HAVE PROB30 GROUPS THROUGH ABOUT 02Z. CONDITIONS WILL
STAY VFR, WITH A 30% CHANCE FOR MVFR CEILINGS AT KCPR THROUGH
13Z. INCREASING CHANCES FOR MOUNTAINTOP OBSCURATIONS OVER THE
WESTERN MOUNTAINS AFTER 18Z AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
REST OF THE TAF PERIOD.
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 SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1130 PM MDT THU SEP 17 2026
AFTER A BUSY AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS WILL BRING WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KNOTS.
HOWEVER, BR AND/OR FG WILL PLAGUE THE NEBRASKA TERMINALS, DROPPING
CIGS AND VIS DOWN TO IFR AND AS POSSIBLY AS LOW AS LIFR THROUGH
ABOUT 15Z, THEREAFTER CLEARING OUT. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO IMPACT THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING SITES BY 00Z
SATURDAY ALONG WITH KBFF AND KSNY BY 03Z. CONFIDENCE IS LOW, SO
INTRODUCED PROB30 GROUPS. THE MAIN AVIATION HAZARDS WITH THIS
ACTIVITY 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 30 KNOTS.

THE LOW LEVEL JET IS LEADING TO LLWS AT BOTH KGLD AND KMCK
THROUGH THE NIGHT AT 200-400 FEET AGL FROM THE SOUTHWEST AROUND
35-45 KTS. WE ARE EXPECTING A GRADUAL COLD FRONT TO PUSH OUT
THIS JET AROUND 10-12Z, ENDING THE LLWS. WITH THE COLD FRONT
MOVING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST AND A WARM FRONT MOVING INTO SOUTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA, SHOWERS ARE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. KMCK MAY
SEE SOME SHOWERS LEAD TO MVFR CONDITIONS BEFORE 7Z. BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT TODAY, WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT AND MAKE THE WIND
FAVOR A NORTHERLY DIRECTION. ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED THIS
EVENING, LIKELY LEADING TO STORMS ACROSS THE REGION.
SATURDAY MORNING MAY SEE IFR CEILINGS RETURN ACROSS THE REGION.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CONTINUES OVER NORTH-CENTRAL NM.
THIS WILL SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO ANOTHER CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING NORTHWARD FROM SOUTH-CENTRAL NM OVERNIGHT
INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO REACH
KABQ-KAEG-KSAF DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS. PATCHY FOG AND MIST ARE
ALSO POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHERN, CENTRAL, AND WESTERN NM
TONIGHT. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW GIVEN THE COVERAGE OF
EXPECTED SHOWER ACTIVITY TO INCLUDE, SO AMDS MAY BE NECESSARY. A
BRIEF BREAK IN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED LATE
MORNING BEFORE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY GETS UNDERWAY
MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN BY 18Z.
INDIVIDUAL STORMS WILL LOOK TO TRACK NORTHEASTWARD, WITH OVERALL
ACTIVITY SHIFTING EASTWARD MORE SO OVER CENTRAL NM AND OUT OVER
THE HIGHLANDS AND PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
