DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1207 UTC FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 539 AM MDT FRI OCT 2 2026
CURRENT OBSERVATIONS SHOW SOUTHERLY WINDS IN PLACE AT KDEN/KAPA,
WITH LIGHT AND MOSTLY VARIABLE WINDS REMAINING AT KBJC. SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS FOG IN PLACE ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE AND CHEYENNE
RIDGE, WITH THE SOUTHERLY WINDS/COMPRESSIONAL WARMING OFF THE
PALMER KEEPING THE FOG FROM PROGRESSING NORTHWARD INTO KAPA. WHILE
FOG IS STILL NOT EXPECTED TO DIRECTLY IMPACT THE AIRFIELDS, A FEW
OBSERVATIONS OVER THE NORTHERN URBAN CORRIDOR HAVE TWO TO THREE
DEGREE DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS, WHICH COULD STILL PRODUCE ADDITIONAL
FOG DEVELOPMENT WITH ANY SLIGHT COOLING OR INCREASE TO RH IN THE
NEXT HOUR OR TWO. WITH NORTHERLY WINDS IN PLACE ALONG THE NORTHERN
I-25 CORRIDOR, IF FOG (OR EVEN SOME LOW CLOUDS) WERE TO FORM, THIS
COULD STILL GET ADVECTED SOUTHWARD TOWARDS KBJC/KDEN AND DISRUPT
VISIBILITY FOR PLANES LANDING FROM THE SOUTH. THEREFORE, HAVE KEPT
THE VCFG FROM 13Z-15Z AS THIS SCENARIO CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED
OUT DESPITE CONFIDENCE REMAINING LOW AT THIS TIME.
EXPECTING WINDS TO BECOME SLIGHTLY MORE SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY AND
DECREASE IN MAGNITUDE FOR A FEW HOURS EARLY THIS MORNING BEFORE
TURNING BACK TO THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FOR THE AFTERNOON. THE
LATEST GUIDANCE HAS STARTED TO TREND SLIGHTLY MORE EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY
IN THE PAST FEW RUNS, BUT SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN LIGHTER WITH THIS
SCENARIO (GENERALLY BELOW 7KTS) COMPARED TO THE SLIGHTLY HIGHER
SPEEDS WITH A MORE SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS PORTRAYED IN THE TAF. ANOTHER
ROUND OF ENHANCED SOUTHERLY WINDS IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
EVENING, BEFORE SETTLING INTO DRAINAGE WINDS FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 414 AM MDT FRI OCT 2 2026
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

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 521 AM MDT FRI OCT 2 2026
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.
