DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0020 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 618 PM MDT WED SEP 30 2026
CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS A FEW SPRINKLES IN THE VICINITY OF KDEN
AND SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER AREAS OF THE SOUTHEASTERN PALMER DIVIDE.
ALTHOUGH THESE SHOWERS WILL LIKELY WEAKEN A BIT BEFORE REACHING THE
DENVER METRO, WE KEPT PROB30S AND VICINITY SHOWERS AT KDEN AND KAPA
UNTIL 05Z-06Z GIVEN THAT WE DO EXPECT AT LEAST SOME ADDITIONAL
SPRINKLES TO MOVE IN FROM THE EAST DURING THE EVENING HOURS.
WINDS WILL REMAIN VERY LIGHT (<8KT) OVER THE REGION, FLUCTUATING
BETWEEN SE-SW INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL
BRING A NORTHERLY WIND SHIFT BETWEEN 12Z AND 14Z. HIGH-RES MODEL
GUIDANCE HAS BEEN HINTING AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW STRATUS DECK
OVER/NEAR THE DENVER METRO IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON, ~17Z-19Z. WHILE
WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INCLUDE LOW CEILINGS IN THE
TAF AT THIS TIME (30% CHANCE), SOME PATCHY TO SCATTERED LOW
CLOUDS AT 3,000- 5,000FT AGL CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN THE VICINITY
OF THE AIRPORTS. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN NORTHERLY THROUGH LATE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE TURNING SOUTHERLY IN THE EVENING.

SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE

KGLD STANDS ABOUT A 20% CHANCE TO SEE A THUNDERSTORM OVERNIGHT,
WITH LOWER CHANCES AT KMCK. CEILINGS WILL BE SLOW TO IMPROVE AND
MAINLY MVFR OVERNIGHT, THOUGH A HEAVIER PASSING SHOWER MAY
BRIEFLY LOWER THEM TO IFR AT EITHER LOCATION. EXPECTING A

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 519 PM MDT WED SEP 30 2026
SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS ARE CONTINUING TO ROTATE AROUND A CLOSED
LOW, WHICH IS NOW CENTERED JUST WEST OF THE ABQ METRO THIS
EVENING. PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY IS MAINLY OVER THE NORTHERN THIRD
OF THE STATE, WITH MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY STILL FORMING ACROSS
AREAS SOUTH OF I-40. A FEW LOW TOPPED STORMS MAY PRODUCE INSTANCES
OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL AND STRONG TO SEVERE WIND OVER THE NEXT
HOUR OR TWO ACROSS FAR NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF NM. WITH SHOWERS
AND STORMS PROGGED TO MAINLY FAVOR NORTHERN NM, BRIEF INSTANCES OF
MVFR TO IFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ANY HEAVIER SHOWERS AND
STORMS. SHOWERS WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT, WITH SOME
LINGERING ACTIVITY OVER THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE THROUGH
SUNRISE. PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP TOMORROW MORNING, ESPECIALLY
ACROSS WESTERN VALLEYS, DUE TO LINGERING PONDING AND VERY WET
SOILS. INCORPORATED TEMPO GROUPS FOR KGUP AND KFMN FOR MVFR/IFR IN
RESPONSE TO THIS TREND, MAINLY BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 09-14Z. A
STRONG NORTHERLY BREEZE WILL DEVELOP IN RESPONSE TO A BOUNDARY
LATE TOMORROW MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SHOWERS AND EVEN A
FEW STORMS MAY DEVELOP THURSDAY AFTERNOON ALONG THE LEADING EDGE
OF THIS BOUNDARY AS IT PUSHES INTO CENTRAL NM, HOWEVER,
PROBABILITIES ARE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.
