DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0547 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.

KCOS, KPUB, AND KALS: MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE START OF
THIS TAF PERIOD, WITH VFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING BY LATE MORNING FOR
ALL THREE TAF SITES. THICK LOW LEVEL CLOUDS WILL BE IN PLACE
TONIGHT, WITHIN MVFR CEILING HEIGHTS. THESE CLOUDS WILL SLOWLY
INCREASE HEADING INTO THE MORNING HOURS, AND THIN IN COVERAGE
THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON. RAIN SHOWERS MAY PERSIST FOR KCOS AND
KPUB OVERNIGHT, WHICH COULD BRING BRIEF PERIODS OF SLIGHTLY REDUCED
VISIBILITY. OTHERWISE, BREEZY WINDS TONIGHT WILL START TO LESSEN BY
LATE TOMORROW MORNING, AND BECOME LESS THAN 10 KNOTS NEAR TO END OF
THIS TAF PERIOD.

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
RETURN TO VFR AT KMCK AROUND 10-12Z AS PRECIPITATION MOVES OUT,
BUT NOT UNTIL LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AT KGLD WHERE LOW CLOUDS
PERSIST.

IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS SEEM LIKELY AT THESE SITES FROM 08Z THROUGH
