DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2119 UTC MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1252 PM MDT MON SEP 28 2026
SHOWERS ARE STARTING TO DEVELOP NEAR THE SITES THIS AFTERNOON WHILE
KDEN AND KAPA TRY TO HOLD ONTO MORE SOUTHERLY WINDS AND KBJC REMAINS
LIGHT AND VARIABLE THROUGH THIS EVENING. KDEN AND KAPA SHOULD TURN A
TOUCH MORE SOUTHWEST (200-210) AS THE AFTERNOON CONTINUES. MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS ARE LIKELY FOR THE SITES THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH
TEMPOS IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON FOR KBJC AND THIS EVENING FOR KDEN,
INCLUDING POSSIBLE GUSTY WINDS (25KTS) AND LOWER CEILINGS (6000FT
AGL). THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AFTER THIS EVENING AND INTO THE
MORNING REGARDING SHOWER POTENTIAL. KAPA COULD SEE SHOWERS
CONTINUING IN THE OVERNIGHT, AND KDEN COULD HAVE THE NEED FOR A
VCSH EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. KBJC IS LEAST LIKELY TO SEE SHOWERS
CONTINUE AFTER THIS EVENING, BUT IN THE MORNING WE DO HAVE A VCSH
IN PLACE BASED ON LATEST CAMS GUIDANCE. ENHANCED DRAINAGE WINDS
WILL BE SEEN FOR KDEN AND KAPA WITH GUSTS IN THE 20-25KT RANGE.
KBJC WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE UNTIL A WEAK COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH (~6-7Z), BRINGING N-NW FOR THE SITES THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON.
CEILINGS WILL DROP THIS AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING AND INTO
TUESDAY MORNING. LOW STRATUS APPEARS TO ARRIVE IN KDEN EARLY IN THE
MORNING, (9-13Z) DROPPING CEILINGS TO ~2000 FT AGL. THE SAME
APPROXIMATE TIMING CAN BE SAID FOR KAPA AND KBJC. THROUGH TUESDAY,
THESE LOW CEILINGS ARE FORECASTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE NEXT TAF
PERIOD AS THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS ABUNDANTLY SATURATED.

TO IFR CEILING HEIGHTS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL THREE TAFS AND THROUGH AT
LEAST TOMORROW. SECONDLY, WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS ARE ANTICIPATED,
WITH IMPACTS ALSO AT ALL THREE TAF SITES. THESE RAIN SHOWERS ARE
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
WINDS ARE EXPECTED EARLY IN THE TAF PERIOD THIS AFTERNOON, WITH
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.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
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

CEILINGS. SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS SUGGEST WINDS GUSTS UP TO
30 KNOTS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/

FOR KGLD & KMCK... VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR THE FIRST 6
TO 12 HOURS, THOUGH SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY APPROACH THE
TERMINALS. KGLD SHOULD HAVE STORMS NEAR THE TERMINAL AROUND THE
START UNLESS THE LINE THAT IS ABOUT 50 MILES WEST FALLS APART.
KMCK IS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE SHOWERS AND A LOWER CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION. THAT CHANGES AROUND 12Z WHEN SHOWER CHANCES
INCREASE, CEILINGS LOWER THROUGH 18Z TO NEAR 1000FT, AND FOG MAY
FORM. THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD IS FORECAST TO BE A
COMBINATION OF THESE CONDITIONS, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO POOR
AVIATION CONDITIONS. KEEP AN EYE ON THE CONDITIONS.

LOWERED FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED LATER IN THE TAF PERIOD. THE

AROUND 10-15 KTS. BY AROUND 12Z, WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED. THE INTENSITY MAY VARY, BUT WITH THE MOST INTENSE
PRECIPITATION AROUND 17Z. SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS WITH THE EXTENT
OF THE CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES DUE TO THE RAIN, BUT LOWERED
CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE.

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.
