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
STORM IMPACTS THE TERMINAL. OTHERWISE, WINDS WILL BE DOMINATED
BY SOUTHERLY FLOW WHICH WILL BECOME GUSTIER TOMORROW AFTERNOON
AS THE SYSTEM OUT WEST APPROACHES THE AREA. -KT

AVIATION
KSLC...THE SLC TERMINAL WILL SEE VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND
THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP AGAIN
TOMORROW, WITH A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF IMPACTS TO THE TERMINAL IN
THE AFTERNOON, GUSTY WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT. SHOWERS ARE THEN
EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD BEGINNING EARLY EVENING,
BRINGING AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL ACROSS THE AIRSPACE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING OVER SOUTHERN
UTAH, WITH THE FOCUS OVERNIGHT SHIFTING TO SOUTHEAST UTAH. SHOWERS
AND STORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE TOMORROW, SPREADING
NORTHWARD DURING THE AFTERNOON THROUGH TOMORROW EVENING. ANY
STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY AND ERRATIC

ISSUED AT 0431 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1030 PM MDT WED OCT 21 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL TERMINALS THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST 12
HOURS OF THE TAF PERIOD. SOME PATCHY AREAS OF MID LEVEL CLOUDS MAY
MOVE THROUGH DURING THE OVERNIGHT INTO THE MORNING HOURS ON
THURSDAY. HOWEVER, IMPACTS FROM CEILINGS LOOK TO BE MINIMAL AT THIS
TIME. MOSTLY ALL TERMINALS EAST OF THE DIVIDE ARE FORECAST TO SEE
QUIET AND DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH A BREEZY WIND
(10 TO 20 KNOTS) DEVELOPING BETWEEN 18Z THURSDAY AND 00Z FRIDAY.
WEST OF THE DIVIDE WILL SEE CLOUDS GRADUALLY MOVING IN AS A RESULT
OF THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM. MOST TERMINALS WILL REMAIN DRY THROUGH
THIS PERIOD BUT A STRAY SHOWER CANNOT BE RULED OUT FOR KJAC, KBPI,
AND KPNA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THURSDAY. KRKS LOOKS TO
HAVE BETTER CHANCES FOR SEEING SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS BETWEEN 19Z
THURSDAY AND 00Z FRIDAY. A PROB 30 GROUP IS IN PLACE DUE TO GROWING
CONFIDENCE IN THESE SHOWERS OCCURRING. KCPR MAY SEE SOME SHOWERS
MOVE THROUGH AFTER 00Z FRIDAY INTO THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. AS A
RESULT A PROB 30 GROUP IS IN PLACE FOR THIS TIME PERIOD FOR KCPR.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE WEST OF THE DIVIDE AFTER THE END OF
THE TAF PERIOD WITH WINDS INCREASING EAST OF THE DIVIDE AROUND THE
SAME TIME.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0349 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 949 PM MDT
WED OCT 21 2026
A VARIETY OF HAZARDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD AHEAD OF A
POTENT CLOSED LOW THAT WILL INTRODUCE PRECIPITATION CHANCES TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. OVERALL, VFR IS EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL OVERNIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING AS A FEW MID AND HIGH CLOUDS
ARE EXPECTED OVER THE REGION. ONE EXCEPTION IS THAT KAIA, KSNY, AND
KBFF MAY SEE SOME LOW CLOUD DEVELOPMENT AFTER 10Z, BUT CONFIDENCE IS
TOO LOW BASED OFF RECENT HREF GUIDANCE, SO REMOVED MVFR CIGS DUE TO
THIS TREND. PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN FROM WEST TO EAST TOMORROW
AFTERNOON, WITH KRWL AND KLAR BEING IMPACTED FIRST, PRIMARILY AFTER
18Z. CAN'T RULE OUT THE ODD LIGHTNING STRIKE OR TWO GIVEN WEAK
INSTABILITY, BUT COVERAGE AND CONFIDENCE ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH TO
INCLUDE A PROB30 GROUP AT THIS TIME. WINDS WILL BE ANOTHER CONCERN
OVERNIGHT INTO TOMORROW, MAINLY FOR THE WYOMING TERMINALS AND KCDR
WHERE SOUTHERLY GUSTS PEAKING UP TO 25-30 KNOTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE.

NORTH PLATTE AVIATION DISCUSSION

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.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 400 PM MDT WED OCT 21 2026
GLD: A PERIOD OF FOG IS POSSIBLE AT THE GOODLAND TERMINAL AN
HOUR OR TWO ON EITHER SIDE OF SUNRISE THU. OTHERWISE, VFR
CONDITIONS WILL RULE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD, WITH CLOUD COVER
CONFINED TO CIRRUS AT OR ABOVE 10,000 FT AGL. LIGHT AND VARIABLE
WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY
(SSE OR S) AND INCREASE TO 12-16 KNOTS DURING THE LATE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON.
MCK: PERSISTENCE SUGGESTS THAT DENSE FOG WILL AFFECT THE MCCOOK
TERMINAL THU MORNING, SIMILAR TO TODAY AND YESTERDAY, MAINLY IN
THE ~10-15Z TIME FRAME. VFR CONDITIONS WILL OTHERWISE PREVAIL,
WITH CEILINGS AT OR ABOVE 10,000 FT AGL. LIGHT AND VARIABLE
WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY
(SSE OR S) AND INCREASE TO 10-15 KNOTS DURING THE LATE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1145 PM CDT WED OCT 21 2026
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS ACROSS SOUTHWEST KS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
TAF CYCLE SHOW VFR FLYING CONDITIONS AND LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS AT ALL
TERMINALS. HIGH-RESOLUTION GUIDANCE SUGGESTS SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT IS
POSSIBLE AFTER 07Z, MAINLY AT GCK AND LBL, AND TO A LESSER EXTENT
DDC, WHICH WOULD BRING VISIBILITY INTO IFR/LIFR. ANY FOG SHOULD MIX
OUT BY 15-16Z, AND THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD SHOULD SEE VFR
FLYING CONDITIONS AT ALL TERMINALS. OTHERWISE, CURRENT LIGHT AND
VARIABLE WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTH INTO THE 15-20 KT
RANGE GUSTING TO 30 KTS BY EARLY AFTERNOON. SOME SLIGHT WEAKENING OF
THE WINDS IS LIKELY AFTER SUNSET, BUT WINDS SHOULD HOLD IN THE 12-16
KT RANGE OVERNIGHT.

A RICH STREAM OF MOISTURE SURGING NORTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHWEST
CONUS WILL ALLOW WIDESPREAD SHRA/TS TO CONTINUE OVER WESTERN NM
THE NEXT 24 HOURS. PATCHY MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE EXPECTED NEAR THE
HEAVIER STORMS WITH LCL MT TOP OBSCURATIONS LIKELY THRU SUNRISE
THURSDAY. A PERIOD OF SHRA/TS MAY ALSO SLIDE INTO THE RGV IN THE
10PM TO 4AM TIMEFRAME DEPENDING ON WHETHER STORMS NEAR THE CONT

LIKELY TO SURGE NORTHEAST OVER WESTERN NM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THEN
