AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 512 AM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
WINDS EARLY THIS MORNING HAVE SWITCHED TO LIGHT W/WNW AT DIA BUT
WERE GUSTY FROM THE SW AT APA. BJC WAS LIGHT FROM THE NORTH.
OVERALL WINDS AT DIA THRU 18Z SHOULD STAY LIGHT W OR WNW WHILE
WINDS AT APA SHOULD DECREASE BY 13Z AND REMAIN LIGHT SW. WINDS AT
BJC WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE.
BY 18Z WINDS AT DIA WILL BECOME SE WHILE APA/BJC HAVE A MORE
SSW DIRECTION. THERE IS STILL A 30% CHC OF HIGH BASED SHOWERS BY
21Z WITH A 10% CHC OF A TSTM WHICH WILL LINGER THRU 01Z. WITH
DECENT LOW LEVEL FLOW THIS ACTIVITY MAY ALLOW FOR GUSTY WINDS AT
THE SFC UP TO 30 MPH.
CONFIDENCE AFTER 01Z THIS EVENING WITH RESPECT TO WINDS AND
ADDITIONAL HIGH BASED SHOWERS IS LOW AT THIS TIME. HI RES DATA
HAS BEN INCONSISTENT ON TIMING AND COVERAGE BETWEEN 01Z AND 08Z.
FOR NOW HAVE LEFT VCSH IN THE TAFS THRU THIS PERIOD. WILL KEEP
WINDS THIS EVENING FROM THE SSW. MAY SEE GUSTS AT DIA UP TO 25 MPH
BY 05Z LASTING THRU 10Z.
FINALLY, AS FAR AS CEILINGS, BELIEVE THEY WILL STAY AT OR ABOVE
7000 FT LATER THIS AFTN THRU THE EVENING HOURS AS HIGHER BASED
SHOWER ACTIVITY MOVES ACROSS.

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.
