DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0549 UTC FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1127 PM MDT THU OCT 1 2026
CURRENT OBSERVATIONS SHOW ENHANCED SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE
IN PLACE AT KDEN/KAPA, WITH KBJC IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING LIGHT
AND VARIABLE. EXPECTING A FEW HOURS OF A TOUCH STRONGER GUSTS TO
KICK IN AT KDEN/KAPA IN BETWEEN THE 7Z TO 9Z TIME FRAME. THERE IS
STILL LOW POTENTIAL FOR ANY DIRECT IMPACTS ACROSS THE AIRFIELDS FROM
FOG AT KDEN/KBJC, BUT WE MAY SEE IT GET WITHIN THE VICINITY
BETWEEN ROUGHLY 12Z TO 15Z WHEN A CYCLONE BECOMES SLIGHTLY MORE
DEVELOPED, ADVECTING IT SOUTHWARD TOWARDS THE METRO, WITH THE
GREATER POTENTIAL BEING FOR KBJC. WINDS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO
MAINTAIN A SOUTHERLY COMPONENT AT KDEN/KAPA THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD, WITH KBJC LIKELY SEEING AN EASTERLY TO SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY
TURN THROUGH THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON, BEFORE BECOMING WESTERLY
BY THE LATE EVENING HOURS (~3Z).

KCOS, KPUB, AND KALS: VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR A MAJORITY OF
THIS TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER, IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT AS FOG MATERIALIZES AROUND THE TAF SITES, WHICH WOULD
BRING LOWERED VISIBILITY AND CEILING HEIGHTS. BEYOND THAT, DRY
CONDITIONS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS TAF
PERIOD.
