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).

VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH 12Z
SATURDAY WITH ONLY SOME PASSING HIGH CLOUDS. A SOUTHWEST WIND
WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AT MANY TAF SITES, WITH THE
STRONGEST WIND IN VICINITY OF KRKS AND KCPR WHERE GUSTS TO 25
KNOTS WILL BE LIKELY. MOST WIND DECREASES AFTER SUNSET AS THE

CURRENT SATELLITE DOES SHOW AN AREA OF LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING JUST
EAST OF KCYS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THESE LOW CLOUDS AND POTENTIALLY
FOG COULD IMPACT THE TERMINAL WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LOW CIGS
AND REDUCED VISIBILITY COULD BRIEFLY BRING CONDITIONS DOWN TO MVFR
OR IFR, HOWEVER CHANCES OF THIS ARE LOW. A BREEZY DAY IS EXPECTED AT
ALL TERMINALS, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE WHERE GUSTS
UP TO 30 KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE EXPECTED DURING THE DAY.
