DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2325 UTC WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 520 PM MDT WED OCT 21 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FOR ALL TERMINALS THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD, ALTHOUGH TEMPORARY CIGS WITH BASES 070-080 WILL BE
POSSIBLE (30-50% CHANCE) STARTING NEAR 21Z THU AS MID-LEVEL
MOISTURE AND HIGH-BASED SHRA MOVE INTO THE AREA. T-STORM POTENTIAL
APPEARS LOWER (THOUGH NONZERO - ABOUT 20%), SO HAVE LIMITED TO
MENTION OF SHOWERS IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.
AS FOR WINDS, KDEN AND KAPA WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT TO A MORE
SOUTHERLY DIRECTION NEAR 03Z THIS EVENING. LATEST GUIDANCE IS NOW
AS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT A NOTABLE REDUCTION IN SPEEDS WITH THIS SHIFT,
SO LATEST TAF PACKAGE RETAINS GUSTS 12-15 KTS FOR THOSE TERMINALS
THROUGH MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. HOWEVER, IT DOES APPEAR
INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT THESE WILL WEAKEN EARLIER THAN PREVIOUSLY
ADVERTISED THU AM (~11-13Z), WITH A MORE SOUTHWESTERLY SHIFT AND
SPEEDS FALLING WELL BELOW 10 KTS. THIS WILL BE TRANSIENT, WITH
BREEZIER SOUTHERLY FLOW ANTICIPATED TO RETURN LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 522 PM MDT WED OCT 21 2026
THICKENING CLOUDS WILL SPREAD OVER THE MOUNTAINS AFFECTING ALL
THREE TAF SITES WITH PERSISTENT VFR CLOUDINESS. KALS WILL SEE
OFF AND ON RAIN SHOWERS WITH CIGS/VIS POSSIBLY DROPPING INTO THE
MVFR CATEGORY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. KPUB AND
KCOS COULD SEE A ROUND OF SHOWERS SPREAD INTO THE TERMINALS FOR
A COUPLE HOURS AROUND 12Z THU, BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR.
AFTER A BIT OF A BREAK LATE MORNING, ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD OFF THE MOUNTAINS INTO ALL 3 TAF
SITES IN THE AFTERNOON. CIGS AND VIS WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY VFR
BUT COULD DROP INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY AT KALS IF A STRONGER

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 644 PM CDT WED OCT 21 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AND
MOST OF THE NIGHT ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
HOWEVER, LIGHT WINDS AND HIGH SURFACE HUMIDITY WILL ALLOW FOR FOG
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA, MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR OVERNIGHT, LASTING INTO THE MID MORNING
HOURS. THIS MAY BRING LOCALIZED IFR AND LIFR CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY AT
THE KLBF TERMINAL. BY MID TO LATE MORNING, AS MIXING INCREASES
ACROSS THE REGION, EXPECT THAT LINGERING FOG WILL DISSIPATE. THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON, SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS INCREASE, BECOMING GUSTY, WITH
PEAK GUSTS AROUND 20 TO 25 KNOTS LASTING THROUGH THE EVENING.
