PUEBLO AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1123 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 522 AM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
KALS: VFR, TO AT TIMES POSSIBLY MVFR, CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS. A SLOW MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL BE IN PLACE,
BRINGING NUMEROUS ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO THE TAF SITE
THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD, THOUGH WITH MOST THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL
THIS AFTERNOON. REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITY AND CEILING HEIGHTS CAN BE
EXPECTED UNDER HEAVIER RAIN. ALONG WITH THAT, AS MINOR MIXING
DEVELOPS, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO UPTICK THIS AFTERNOON AND BECOME
MARGINALLY GUSTY AROUND 20 KNOTS OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS.
OUTSIDE OF ALL OF THAT, THICK CLOUD COVERAGE WILL BE IN PLACE
THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD.
KCOS AND KPUB: VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
WHILE DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVERALL, RAIN SHOWERS, AND
POSSIBLY WEAK THUNDERSTORMS, WILL DEVELOP AROUND THE TAF SITES THIS
AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE IN DIRECT IMPACTS TO A TAF SITE IS LOW,
HOWEVER, IF ONE WERE TO IMPACT A SITE, LOWERED VISIBILITY AND
CEILING HEIGHTS CAN BE EXPECTED. OTHERWISE, THICK CLOUD COVERAGE
WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD.

WIDESPREAD RAIN AND RAINSHOWERS CONTINUE TODAY WITH SOME
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FROM KMTJ SOUTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON. LOW
CEILINGS WILL BE COMMON AS WILL VISIBILITIES UNDER THE STRONGER
CELLS. CONDITIONS WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN VFR DOWN TO IFR THROUGH
THE DAY WITH THE WORST CONDITIONS EXPECTED SOUTH OF THE I-70
CORRIDOR. ILS BREAKPOINTS WILL BE MET FOR MOST TAF SITES THANKS
TO THE SAME LOW CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS
ARE EXPECTED THOUGH GUSTY OUTFLOWS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY
SHOWERS OR STORMS. FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE AFTER
12Z TOMORROW, IF NOT A BIT BEFORE.

THE MID-MORNING. BOTH KGLD AND KMCK WILL SEE GUSTY WINDS START
IN THE MID TO LATE MORNING, PERSISTING THROUGH THE PERIOD. MOST
GUSTS WILL BE IN THE 18-25 KTS RANGE, BUT SOME GUSTS CLOSER TO
30 KTS ARE POSSIBLE. KMCK ALSO HAS BEEN SHOWING A DECENT SIGN OF
LLWS AROUND SUNRISE FRIDAY MORNING FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AT
40 KTS AROUND 300 FEET AGL. IT IS POSSIBLE SURFACE WINDS ARE

LOW LEVEL STRATUS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF EXTREME
SOUTHWEST KANSAS, RESULTING IN IFR CIGS POTENTIALLY AFFECTING THE
VICINITY OF KGCK, KLBL, AND POSSIBLY AS FAR EAST AS KDDC THROUGH
MID-MORNING BEFORE LIFTING/SCATTERING OUT BY MID-DAY. HIGH RELATIVE
HUMIDITY WITHIN A LIGHT SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE FLOW MAY ALSO LEAD TO AREAS
OF FOG DEVELOPMENT TOWARD DAYBREAK, BRINGING POSSIBLE MVFR/IFR VSBYS
TO THE VICINITY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TAF SITES. LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS
THROUGH MID-MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE 10 TO 20KT WITH GUSTS
UP TO 25KT GENERALLY AFTER 14-16Z AS A LEE SIDE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
STRENGTHENS IN EASTERN COLORADO.
