DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2010 UTC FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1140 AM MDT FRI SEP 18 2026
AFTERNOON CONVECTION STILL APPEARS LIKELY TODAY. RECENT CLEARING
EVIDENT ON SATELLITE HAS ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO REACH THE UPPER
70S WITH DEW POINTS STILL HOVERING AROUND 50F. ACARS PROFILES HAVE
ALSO SHOWN A GRADUAL INCREASE IN INSTABILITY OVER THE LAST COUPLE
HOURS, WITH MLCAPE APPROACHING 500 J/KG. MOST GUIDANCE DEVELOPS
CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHWEST METRO BEFORE 20Z, WHICH THEN LIFTS
NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE TERMINALS BETWEEN ROUGHLY 21-23Z. SOME
SHRA MAY LINGER BEYOND 00Z BUT MOST IMPACTS FROM TS OR GUSTY
OUTFLOW WINDS WOULD BE BEFORE THAT TIME.
WINDS ARE A BIT UNCERTAIN TODAY. THERE SHOULD BE LIGHT UPSLOPE AS
A PREVAILING DIRECTION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON, BEFORE BECOMING MORE
VARIABLE IN THE VICINITY OF CONVECTION. A RETURN TO DRAINAGE IS
EXPECTED THIS EVENING. SOME GUIDANCE HINTS AT SOME STRATUS OR FOG
POTENTIAL OVERNIGHT THOUGH THIS WOULD BE ALMOST CERTAINLY BE
DEPENDENT ON GETTING MEANINGFUL PRECIPITATION ACROSS A LARGE AREA
NEAR THE TERMINALS TODAY.
TOMORROW'S FORECAST IS LARGELY SIMILAR TO TODAY, WITH CONVECTION
LIKELY DEVELOPING DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS, LINGERING INTO
THE EVENING.

ISSUED AT 2221 UTC FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 415 PM MDT FRI SEP 18 2026
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ALTHOUGH VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL, ANY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY OF
AIRPORTS WILL BE A THREAT, AND IF A STORM PASSES DIRECTLY OVER
AN AIRFIELD, BRIEF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AS THE
HEAVY RAIN PASSES OVER. WINDS TODAY WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT,
BUT COULD GUST INTO THE 25 TO 35 KT RANGE NEAR ANY STORM
DOWNDRAFT/OUTFLOW. THESE WINDS WOULD BE ERRATIC, AND GUSTY VRB
WINDS GROUPS ARE PREVALENT IN TEMPO AND PROB30 GROUPS AT
INDIVIDUAL TAF SITES.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE WIDESPREAD WEST OF THE DIVIDE
TO START THE TAF PERIOD, IMPACTING KJAC, KBPI/KPNA AND KRKS. A
LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE EXITING JOHNSON AND
NATRONA COUNTIES, BUT COULD STILL BE IMPACTING KCPR. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO WANE ACROSS THEW AREA THROUGH 06Z.
LOW CLOUDS (AND IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS) LOOK TO PUSH INTO THE
BIGHORN BASIN OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING, INCLUDING FOR
KCOD. THESE LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY PERSIST UNTIL AROUND
17Z, AFTER WHICH TIME THINNING OF LOW CLOUDS IS EXPECTED, WHILE
SURFACE MIXING HELP TO LIFT CLOUD DECKS SLIGHTLY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP AGAIN AFTER 18Z, MAINLY
IMPACTING TERMINALS EAST OF THE DIVIDE AND KRKS. KCOD, KWRL AND
KCPR HAVE THE BEST CHANCES TO BE IMPACTED.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1139 AM MDT FRI SEP 18 2026
A MIX OF FLIGHT CATEGORIES ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS
DUE TO PASSING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOLLOWED BY LOWERING
CEILINGS IN NEBRASKA. PERIODS OF MVFR ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE
STRONGEST PRECIPITATION, WITH LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING CIGS
THEN BECOMING IFR TO LIFR FOR ALL NEBRASKA SITES EXCEPT KBFF.
WIDESPREAD CIGS OUTSIDE OF THIS WILL BE GENERALLY MID LEVEL WITH
PRECIPITATION. BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN 21-03Z,
STARTING IN WYOMING AND CONTINUING INTO NEBRASKA. WINDS
GENERALLY 10 KNOTS OR LESS ALL SITES OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS
WHERE STRONG AND VARIABLE WINDS COULD BE POSSIBLE EXCEPT KRWL
WHERE GUSTY WINDS AROUND 20-25 KNOTS EXPECTED.
