DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0634 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1148 PM MDT WED SEP 30 2026
SHOWERS PERSIST JUST EAST OF THE TAF SITES LATE TONIGHT, WITH
FAIRLY CALM CONDITIONS OBSERVED AT ALL THREE DENVER TAF SITES.
WINDS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING TO DRAINAGE AT
KDEN/KAPA, WITH CURRENT SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS EXPECTED TO
TRANSITION TO THE SOUTHWEST IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO, BEFORE
BECOMING MORE WESTERLY FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT. KBJC IS CURRENTLY
MORE NW WHERE THEY ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BEFORE A WEAK COLD
FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO TURN WINDS TO THE NORTH BETWEEN 12Z TO
14Z AT ALL TAF SITES. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO TURN CLOCKWISE THROUGH
THE MORNING, BECOMING NORTHEASTERLY BY THE LATTER HALF OF THE
MORNING. THE MORE NORTHERLY WINDS ARE LIKELY TO PULL SOME OF THE
ELEVATED MOISTURE FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE TAF SITES. GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO DEPICT POTENTIAL FOR A SCATTERED TO BROKEN DECK OF
STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE
LATEST HI-RES MODELS KEEP BROKEN DECKS ABOVE 6,000 FEET AGL, BUT
A FEW STILL SHOW POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF CEILINGS DROPPING
DOWN TO AROUND 3,000 TO 4,000 FEET AGL. THERE IS HIGHER
CONFIDENCE IN THE DRIER SOLUTIONS DEPICTED IN THE LATEST TAF, BUT
THERE IS STILL A 10-15% CHANCE WE SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF THE LOWER
CIG IN THE LATE MORNING WHEN THE NORTHEASTERLY WINDS SET IN. WINDS
SHOULD TURN TO THE SOUTH IN THE EARLY EVENING BEFORE BECOMING
SOUTHERLY FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

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

SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS BEFORE ENDING.
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.

ISSUED AT 1258 AM CDT THU OCT 1 2026
WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT COULD RESULT IN AREAS OF
DENSE FOG AFTER 09Z AT KGCK AND KDDC. BUT AT THE VERY LEAST
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS SEEM LIKELY AT THESE SITES FROM 08Z THROUGH
13Z. AN UPPER LEVEL COLD POOL WILL PASS JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON, RESULTING IN DESTABILIZATION AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT, WITH NUMEROUS T-STORMS FORMING BY 15-17Z AND SPREADING
EASTWARD AND SOUTHEASTWARD. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AFTER 20Z,
A STRATIFORM RAIN WILL DEVELOP AND LAST FOR A FEW HOURS AND THEN
GRADUALLY TAPER OFF, WITH MVFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING BEFORE
IMPROVING TO VFR. WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL LIKELY GUST TO
OVER 30KTS FOR SEVERAL HOURS, WITH SUSTAINED WINDS 15-23 KTS.
