DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1155 UTC MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 550 AM MDT MON SEP 28 2026
AN ELEVATED DRAINAGE WIND OF 15-25 KTS HAS BEEN ONGOING OVERNIGHT
AT KDEN AND KAPA WITH KBJC KEEPING LIGHT AND VRB WINDS. THESE
TRENDS WILL CONTINUE WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS AT KAPA AND KDEN
APPROACHING GUSTS OF 20-25 KTS THROUGH THIS EVENING. KBJC SHOULD
REMAIN LIGHT AND VRB UNTIL THE SHOWERS ARRIVE THIS AFTERNOON.
SEVERAL WAVES OF SHOWERS ARE LIKELY- STARTING AT 19/20Z AND THEN
LASTING THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD- AT ALL THREE SITES, BUT
KDEN AND KAPA WILL BE MOST FAVORED. PREVAILING -SHRA AT KDEN AND
KAPA ARE IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON (AND INTO THE EVENING AT KAPA).
KBJC HAS A TEMPO FOR THESE SHOWERS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME
GUSTY WINDS AND LOWERED CEILINGS. WE WANTED TO ILLUSTRATE THE
FOLLOWING TRENDS IN THE LATEST CAMS: (1) KAPA IS LIKELY TO
CONTINUE TO SEE THE MOST NUMEROUS SHOWERS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING
AND POSSIBLY BEYOND (2) KDEN COULD HAVE SHOWERS LINGERING AT LEAST
IN THE VICINITY THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND (3) KBJC IS
LEAST LIKELY TO SEE SHOWERS AFTER THIS EVENING.
CEILINGS START TO LOWER BY LATE AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY BY 00Z
TUESDAY (MONDAY EVENING) AND BEYOND. CEILINGS ARE FORECAST TO DROP
TO 6000 FT AGL AROUND 4Z AT KDEN. A FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH ALL
THREE SITES BETWEEN 9Z AND 12Z BRINGING IN LOW STRATUS AND THUS
LOWER CEILINGS. CROSS SECTIONS AND SOUNDINGS SHOW HIGH LEVELS OF
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH THROUGH THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE. THUS, WE HAVE
KDEN CEILINGS DROPPING TO 1000 FT AGL AND LOWERED VISIBILITY WITH
THIS NORTHERLY PUSH. LOW STRATUS IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE BEYOND
THIS TAF PERIOD AND LIKELY (70% CONFIDENCE) INTO WEDNESDAY.

LIKELY TO BRING PERIODS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY, WITH AT LEAST A DROP
TO MVFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS EXPECTED. ALONG WITH THAT, ISOLATED
INSTANCES OF LIGHTNING AND THUNDER WILL BE POSSIBLE, THOUGH
CONFIDENCE IS LOW, LESS THAN 20%, IN THIS. OTHERWISE, THE STRONGEST

GUSTY WINDS UP TO AROUND 20 KNOTS ANTICIPATED, ESPECIALLY FOR KALS

SHOWERS CONTINUE TO FILL IN ACROSS THE CWA AND WILL BE ONGOING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. BROKEN TO MOSTLY OVERCAST SKIES
ARE BEING REPORTED AT MANY TAF SITES, WITH A CONTINUATION OF THOSE
CONDITIONS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY
LIGHT AND TERRAIN DRIVEN UNDER THESE SHOWERS. WHERE HEAVIER
RAINFALL IS PRESENT, EXPECT FLIGHT CONDITIONS TO VARY BETWEEN
LOW END VFR AND MVFR, DUE TO LOW CIGS AND VISIBILITY
CONSTRAINTS. ILS BREAKPOINTS WILL LIKELY BE MET FOR SOME
TERMINALS AND MOUNTAIN OBSTRUCTIONS WILL BE COMMON.

ISSUED AT 1150 AM MDT MON SEP 28 2026
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS WYOMING
THROUGH AT LEAST SUNSET TODAY. ALL TERMINALS HAVE A CHANCE OF SEEING
A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM DIRECTLY IMPACT THE SITES. CONDITIONS WILL
LARGELY REMAIN VFR, BUT INSTANCES OF MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE (UP TO 30% CHANCE). OCCASIONAL MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST SUNSET. GUSTY 30 TO 35KT
WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN AND AROUND CONVECTION. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL GENERALLY END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST, WITH
ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTHERN WYOMING, INCLUDING KRKS, UNTIL
SUNRISE ON TUESDAY. OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS, WINDS LARGELY REMAIN
12 KTS OR LESS AT ALL TERMINALS.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE (10% TO 20%) OF FOG AND LOW CLOUD DEVELOPMENT
AT OR IN THE AREAS OF KJAC, KRIW, KCPR, KRKS, KBPI, AND KPNA EARLY
TUESDAY. THIS DEVELOPMENT IS DEPENDENT ON HOW QUICKLY OVERNIGHT
CLOUDS CLEAR. GIVEN THE LOW CONFIDENCE, THERE IS NO MENTION IN TAFS
AT THIS TIME.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1229 PM CDT MON SEP 28 2026
CLOUD COVER REMAINS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON, AS
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE TRACKS ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA. THIS IS CAUSING MOSTLY MVFR CEILINGS, WITH SOME LOCATIONS
BREAKING TO VFR FOR A FEW HOURS THIS AFTERNOON. BY THIS EVENING,
EXPECTING A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION, BRINGING IN LOWERED CEILINGS. CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BACK TO MVFR, IF NOT IFR IN HEAVIER DOWNPOURS.
ONCE RAIN BEGINS THIS EVENING, EXPECTING RAIN TO CONTINUE THROUGH
MOST OF THE EFFECTIVE TAF PERIOD, WITH LOWER CEILINGS PREVAILING.
GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO THE EVENING HOURS,
EVENTUALLY CALMING AND TAKING ON A MORE WESTERLY DIRECTION.

FOR KGLD & KMCK... VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH 06Z,
SHORT OF CEILINGS AROUND 1500-2500FT FOR THE FIRST TWO HOURS OF
THE PERIOD. A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AFTER 23Z, BUT
THE OVERALL CHANCE IS CLOSER TO 20% AND LIKELY STAY WEST OF THE
TERMINALS. AROUND 06Z, LLWS IS FORECAST AT BOTH TERMINALS AS THE
LOW LEVEL JET IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP AROUND 400FT FROM THE SOUTH
WITH SPEEDS AROUND 45FT. THE JET SHOULD FADE THROUGH THE NIGHT
AND END BY 14Z. AFTER 09Z, THE NEXT SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BEGIN
PUSHING IN FROM THE SOUTH, BRINGING CHANCES FOR FOG, LOW
CEILINGS AND STORMS. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD, BE ALERT
FOR VARYING CONDITIONS WITH INTERMITTENT SHOWERS AND FOG FORMING

VFR CONDITIONS AND FAIR WEATHER WILL LAST THROUGH THE REST OF
TODAY. THEN TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING A POWERFUL WEATHER SYSTEM
WILL IMPACT THE WHOLE OF THE PANHANDLES. THIS WILL SPREAD RAIN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PANHANDLES IN A WEST TO EAST
FASHION STARTING EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. EXTREME AMOUNTS OF
MOISTURE WILL ALLOW ANY RAIN SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE
HEAVY TO TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WITH SEVERELY REDUCED, OR TO NEAR
ZERO, VISIBILITIES. FURTHER, THE CLOUD BASES WILL MOST LIKELY BE
LOW TO VERY LOW WITH IFR TO VLIFR CEILINGS. THERE IS ALSO A LOW
CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS AND TORNADOS. THE RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH
THE LOW CLOUD DECKS WILL PERSIST OVER THE PANHANDLES, AND ALL
TERMINALS, THROUGH ALL OF TUESDAY. OVERALL THE FLYING CONDITIONS
DURING THE PASSAGE OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE VERY BAD AND CAN BE
DANGEROUS TO AVIATORS.
