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%.

AS OF THIS AFTERNOON, PRESENT RADAR HAS SEEN SUBSIDENCE WINNING
OUT WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STAYING OUT OF THE PANHANDLES.
HOWEVER, THIS ACTIVITY HAS RESULT IN SOME LOW CLOUD DECKS PRESENT
ACROSS ALL THE TERMINALS THAT HAS SEEN CIGS DIP IN AND OUT OF
MVFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON. BY THIS EVENING PRESENT CAMS ARE
STILL EXPECTING A COLD FRONT TO PUSH IN WHICH WILL SEE THE START
OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS ACROSS THE AREA THAT MAY IMPACT
THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE LATE NIGHT HOURS. AT THIS TIME PRIMARY
CONCERN FOR ANY STORM WILL BE MORE ON THE REDUCE VISIBILITY FROM
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL, BUT OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING CAN'T BE
RULED OUT EITHER. REGARDLESS, LOOK OF THIS CLOUD COVER TO HOLD
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT WITH POTENTIAL TO BRIEFLY SEE CIGS DROP TO

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1142 AM MDT THU OCT 1 2026
A NORTH/NORTHEAST ORIENTED JET IS MOVING ACROSS THE STATE TODAY
BEHIND THE EXITING UPPER-LOW THAT BROUGHT RAIN TO THE AREA
YESTERDAY. A FEW SHOWERS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE DAY ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHEAST, WITH DRY CONDITIONS PREVAILING ELSEWHERE. GUSTY
NORTH WINDS ARE LIKELY IN EASTERN AREAS WITH A STRONG BREEZE IN
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS. LOW CLOUDS ARE LIKELY TO FILL IN
ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AFTER 00Z, WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR
PERSISTENT MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT. LIFR
TO VLIFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF
THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS AS A RESULT OF UPSLOPE FLOW. ALTHOUGH
THERE IS A LOW (<20% CHANCE) OF PATCHY FOG AND LOW CLOUDS FOR
CENTRAL AND WESTERN SITES TONIGHT, IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY
TAFS.
