DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0533 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1120 PM MDT WED OCT 21 2026
A FEW HIGH BASED SHOWERS HAVE OCCURRED LATE THIS EVENING WHICH WAS
ALLOWING FOR SOME MIXING OF STRONGER SSW WINDS IN THE LOWER LEVELS.
MOST OF THIS HAS BEEN AFFECTING APA BUT NOT BJC OR DIA. WILL KEEP
IN A PROB30 AT APA UNTIL 07Z FOR GUSTY SSW WINDS. OTHERWISE WINDS
WILL REMAIN SSW THRU 10Z WITH SPEEDS MAINLY IN THE 10-15 MPH RANGE.
BY 11Z WINDS WILL BECOME MORE WSW WITH DECREASING SPEEDS.
FOR THE AFTN, THERE WILL BE A CHC OF HIGH BASED SHOWERS (30-40%) AND
POSSIBLY A TSTM (10%). HAVE KEPT A PROB30 IN THE TAFS BETWEEN 21Z
AND 01Z THU EVENING FOR THIS ACTIVITY. MAY ALSO SEE BRIEF GUSTS UP
TO 30 MPH AS WELL WITH ANY OF THE SHOWERS. WINDS BY 21Z WILL MAINLY
BE FROM THE SW.
BY EARLY THU EVENING THERE WILL STILL BE A THREAT OF HIGHER BASED
SHOWERS (30-40%) THRU 06Z. LATEST DATA STILL SHOWS RATHER STG SSW
LOW LEVEL FLOW SO MAY SEE GUSTY SSW WINDS AT APA AND DIA AS THESE
STRONGER WINDS MIX DOWN TO THE SFC. FINALLY, CEILINGS WITH ANY OF
THE SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD STAY AT OR ABOVE 7000 FT.

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.

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

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1133 PM MDT WED OCT 21 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT KGLD THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER,
PATCHY FOG IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP AT KMCK IN THE HOURS BEFORE
SUNRISE, AS DEWPOINTS HAVE REMAINED IN THE MID 50S MOST OF THE DAY
AND CLOUD COVER IS ABSENT AT THE TERMINAL. GUIDANCE HAS BACKED OFF
ON LIFR CONDITIONS AS TEMPERATURES HAVE REMAINED A BIT WARMER TODAY
THAN EXPECTED, THOUGH THE DENSEST FOG WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
IFR CONDITIONS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP BETWEEN THE LATE
MORNING AND MID AFTERNOON HOURS OCT. 22ND, REMAINING PRIMARILY OUT
OF THE SOUTH. ADDITIONALLY, A LOW LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE
SOME WIND SHEAR AT BOTH KGLD AND KMCK TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF
PERIOD, THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF
AT THIS TIME.

ISSUED AT 0445 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
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.
