DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1154 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 512 AM MDT THU OCT 1 2026
NORTHWEST WINDS ARE IN PLACE ACROSS THE TAF SITES EARLY THIS
MORNING, WITH NORTHERLY WINDS IN PLACE JUST OFF THE DECK AT KDEN.
AS EXPECTED, THE NORTHERLY SHIFT IS BRINGING LOWER CLOUD DECKS
ACROSS THE TAF SITES, WHERE BROKEN TO OVERCAST CEILINGS ARE
CURRENTLY OBSERVED AROUND 8,000 FEET AGL. WINDS ARE STILL
EXPECTED TO MOVE CLOCKWISE THROUGH THE DAY, BECOMING NORTHEASTERLY
AROUND 18Z/19Z. CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER SLIGHTLY MORE
THROUGH THE MORNING, BUT MOST GUIDANCE KEEPS THEM HOVERING AROUND
7,000 FEET AGL, WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER CEILING POTENTIAL AT KAPA
(~6,000 FEET AGL). WITH THE PERSISTENT NORTH TO NORTHEASTERLY
WINDS EXPECTED TO PULL IN SOME BETTER MOISTURE FROM THE NORTH AND
NORTHEAST, CAN'T RULE OUT A BRIEF PERIOD OF SLIGHTLY LOWER
CEILINGS (ABOUT 10-15% CHANCE WE SEE THEM DROP AS LOW AS 3,000 TO
4,000 FEET AGL) WITH THE BEST CHANCES BEING BETWEEN THE 15Z-18Z
TIME FRAME. CEILING HEIGHTS SHOULD START TO IMPROVE BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WHEN WINDS SHIFT TO THE EAST AND THEN SOUTHEAST. SOME
ENHANCED SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT FOR KDEN/KAPA
WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 20-25 KTS. WINDS AT KBJC ARE EXPECTED TO BE
LIGHT, WITH A NW DIRECTION FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
