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.

SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING WITH BROKEN
TO OVERCAST SKIES BEING REPORTED AT MOST TAF SITES. THESE
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST TONIGHT BEFORE A BREAK NEAR
SUNRISE. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP OVER SOUTHERN
COLORADO TOMORROW MORNING. 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 /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 533 PM MDT MON SEP 28 2026
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS WYOMING
THROUGH SUNSET, WITH MOST TERMINALS HAVING A CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM AT OR AROUND THE SITE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
GENERALLY END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST BY 06Z. HOWEVER, ISOLATED
SHOWERS ARE FORECAST ACROSS SOUTHERN WYOMING, INCLUDING KRKS, UNTIL
SUNRISE ON TUESDAY. CONDITIONS LARGELY REMAIN VFR, BUT INSTANCES OF
MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE (UP TO 30%
CHANCE). OCCASIONAL MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. 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 CLOUDS CLEAR OVERNIGHT BEFORE SUNRISE. GIVEN THE LOW
CONFIDENCE, THERE IS NO MENTION IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.
GUSTY 30 TO 35KT WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN AND AROUND CONVECTION.
OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS, WINDS LARGELY REMAIN 12 KTS OR LESS AT ALL
TERMINALS.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS, SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL LIFT UP ACROSS THE REGION WITH CHANCES FOR ALL
TERMINALS. ANY STORMS COULD BRING LOCALLY LOWERED CIGS AND VIS ALONG
WITH GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS. CIGS WILL GENERALLY BE MID-LEVEL AS
PRECIPITATION MOVES THROUGH, BUT WILL LOWER TONIGHT AS MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO OVERSPREADS THE REGION. IN ADDITION, WITH THE ADDED
MOISTURE, OBSCURATIONS COULD FORM FOR KSNY AND KAIA WITH BR REDUCING
VIS TO 4SM OR LOWER. WINDS SHOULD POSE NO AVIATION HAZARD AS THEY
WILL REMAIN OR BECOME VARIABLE AND LIGHT.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 439 PM MDT MON SEP 28 2026
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
TAF PERIOD WILL START WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND SOUTHEAST WINDS AT
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.

CONDITIONS ARE DETERIORATING FROM WEST TO EAST AS A LARGE AREA OF
RAIN AND ISOLATED STORMS MOVES SLOWLY EAST TOWARD THE RGV LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. THERE ARE >80% PROBABILITIES THAT CIGS WILL FALL
TO MVFR FROM WEST TO EAST TOWARD THE RGV THRU MIDNIGHT THEN INTO
EASTERN NM OVERNIGHT. LOCAL IFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL OCCUR WITH THE
HEAVIER RAINFALL THEN A PERIOD OF MORE WIDESPREAD IFR MAY OCCUR
AROUND TUESDAY MORNING. THE TIMING OF STORM CLUSTERS AND THE
LARGER AREAS OF RAIN WILL BE CHALLENGING SO NUMEROUS UPDATES ARE
LIKELY TO TERMINAL FORECASTS THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. WIDESPREAD
RAIN WITH ISOLATED STORMS IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST OVER MUCH OF THE
