DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1933 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1142 AM MDT THU OCT 1 2026
FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD LOOKING TAFS FOR MOST OF THIS PERIOD, BUT
MONITORING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF FOG IMPACTS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
FOR THE SHORT TERM, ACARS AND OBSERVATIONS SHOW MOISTURE GENERALLY
AT OR ABOVE 11,000 FT MSL, WHILE SATELLITE SHOWS GRADUAL CLEARING
FROM THE NORTH. WHILE WE'LL LIKELY SEE SOME REDEVELOPMENT OF
STRATO CU WITH DAYTIME HEATING, FOR THE MOST PART IT APPEARS IT
WILL ONLY BE SCT ABOVE 5,000-6,000 FT AGL. WE DO THINK THE
MAJORITY OF ANY BKN REDEVELOPMENT AND ILS REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE
CONFINED TO SOUTH OF KDEN. SKIES WILL CLEAR BY 00Z. NORTH-
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BECOME MORE EASTERLY 20Z-00Z, AND THEN SE-S
WITH AN ENHANCED SOUTHERLY COMPONENT BY 03Z-06Z.
FOR OVERNIGHT, WE DO EXPECT ENOUGH RADIATIONAL COOLING FOR HYBRID
ADVECTION/RADIATION FOG DEVELOPMENT. SINCE IT'S IN ALMOST DUE
SOUTHERLY FLOW, WE EXPECT THIS MOSTLY OVER THE SOUTH FACING
SLOPES OF THE PALMER DIVIDE AND CHEYENNE RIDGE. HOWEVER, A WEAK
CYCLONE/SHEAR ZONE IS STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP, BUT IT SHOULD BE
SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTH THAN TYPICAL. THAT MEANS THE MAIN THREAT
OF ANY FOG/STRATUS WOULD REMAIN NORTH OF KDEN, BUT ENOUGH THREAT
ON THE FRINGE OF THE WEAK CYCLONE TO BRING FOG TO THE VICINITY
NORTHWEST OF KDEN. THUS, WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE HOURS OF VCFG IN THE
TAF 12Z-15Z, BUT PROBABILITY OF DIRECT IMPACTS TO THE AIRPORT ARE
ONLY ABOUT 20%.
