DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1748 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1140 AM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS ARE
CURRENTLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT ALL TERMINALS, BUT SHOULD GIVE WAY
TO STRONGER (10-12 KTS) SOUTHWEST WINDS IN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO.
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS ARE STILL POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. HOWEVER, GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED TOWARDS LATER ONSET TIMING
OF PRECIPITATION THIS AFTERNOON, SO HAVE DELAYED THE PROB30 BACK
TO 22Z FOR DEN (21Z AT APA AND BJC). HAVE INTRODUCED ANOTHER
PROB30 BETWEEN 03/04Z - 06/07Z, HOWEVER CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOWER
THAN USUAL FOR THIS SECOND ROUND. CEILINGS SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE
7000FT WITH ANY SHOWERS THAT MOVE THROUGH.
TOMORROW WILL BE BREEZY THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS FLOW ALOFT
INCREASES. EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST, WITH
PERIODS OF GUSTS UP TO 25-28 KTS, PARTICULARLY BETWEEN 15Z - 23Z.
SOME MODELS HINT AT STRONGER SPEEDS, BUT WILL KEEP AN EYE ON
TRENDS.

GRAND JUNCTION AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1740 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1134 AM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS ARE ONGOING TODAY, WITH THE POSSIBILITY
OF EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. LOW
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL BE COMMON UNDER THE STRONGER
PRECIPITATION. CONDITIONS WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN VFR AND DOWN TO
IFR THROUGH THE DAY, WITH THE WORST CONDITIONS EXPECTED SOUTH OF
THE I-70 CORRIDOR. ILS BREAKPOINTS WILL LIKELY BE MET FOR MOST
TAF SITES THANKS TO THOSE LOWERED CEILING AND VISIBILITIES.
GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED, THOUGH GUSTY OUTFLOWS IN AND
AROUND SHOWERS AND STORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT. FLIGHT CONDITIONS
SLOWLY IMPROVE AFTER 10-12Z FRIDAY, IF NOT BEFORE.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1134 AM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS ARE ONGOING TODAY, WITH THE POSSIBILITY
OF EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. LOW
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL BE COMMON UNDER THE STRONGER
PRECIPITATION. CONDITIONS WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN VFR AND DOWN TO
IFR THROUGH THE DAY, WITH THE WORST CONDITIONS EXPECTED SOUTH OF
THE I-70 CORRIDOR. ILS BREAKPOINTS WILL LIKELY BE MET FOR MOST
TAF SITES THANKS TO THOSE LOWERED CEILING AND VISIBILITIES.
GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED, THOUGH GUSTY OUTFLOWS IN AND
AROUND SHOWERS AND STORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT. FLIGHT CONDITIONS
SLOWLY IMPROVE AFTER 10-12Z FRIDAY, IF NOT BEFORE.

AVIATION
KSLC...OFF AND ON SHOWERS EXPECTED THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING AND
EARLY PORTION OF THE OVERNIGHT. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS FROM MID AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. THERE IS ~10-30%
CHANCE OF MVFR CIGS/VIS DURING PERIODS OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION,
ESPECIALLY IN THUNDERSTORMS. SHOWER CHANCES WILL FINALLY DECREASE
AFTER AROUND 09Z FRIDAY, BUT ISOLATED SHOWER REDEVELOPMENT IS THEN
SUPPORTED FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE GENERALLY FAVORED TO REMAIN
SOUTHERLY, WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS 20-30 KTS OR SO, POSSIBLY HIGHER IN
THUNDERSTORMS. SOME VARIABILITY ALSO POSSIBLE IN THUNDERSTORMS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...ACTIVE WEATHER ACROSS THE
REGION WITH WIDESPREAD SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS
~10-30% CHANCE OF MVFR CIGS/VIS DEVELOPING IN TIMES OF HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION, OR ESPECIALLY THUNDERSTORMS. PRECIPITATION WILL TEND
TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE AT ALL BUT FAR NORTHERN TERMINALS LATE
THURSDAY EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS AT MOST TERMINALS
WILL FAVOR A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION, WITH SOME GUSTS AROUND 15-30 KTS
OR SO. SOME HIGHER GUSTS AND PERIODS OF VARIABILITY WILL BE POSSIBLE
IN AND AROUND THUNDERSTORMS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1208 PM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE
FRONT HALF OF THE PERIOD. SHOWERS WILL BEGIN MOVING INTO SOUTHERN
WYOMING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON, HOWEVER, BRINGING A 30% CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND MVFR CEILINGS TO KRKS. OTHERWISE, THE MAIN CONCERN THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE WIND, MOST NOTABLY AT KCPR AND KRKS WHICH WILL SEE
GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS. PRECIPITATION INCREASES OVERNIGHT, WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS SPREADING TO KBPI, KJAC, AND KPNA BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z.
KJAC IS MOST LIKELY TO SEE MORE PERSISTENT IMPACTS THROUGH FRIDAY
THOUGH SNOW SHOULD STAY ABOVE THE VALLEY. REGARDLESS, FREQUENT
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION IS EXPECTED ACROSS WESTERN WYOMING TONIGHT
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. EAST OF THE DIVIDE, WIND WILL
INCREASE SHARPLY FRIDAY MORNING, WITH SOUTHWEST GUSTS OF 25 TO 40
KNOTS EXPECTED AT KCPR, KLND, KRIW, AND KWRL.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1141 AM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE WITH PRECIPITATION ACROSS WY TAF SITES, WITH
THE MOST LIKELY DROP IN VIS HAPPENING FOR KRWL. RAIN SHOWERS
SHOULD OVERSPREAD BOTH KRWL AND KLAR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING,
AND MAY MAKE IT AS FAR AS KCYS. A RUMBLE OF THUNDER ALSO
POSSIBLE NEAR KRWL, BUT PROBS ARE LOW ENOUGH THAT THEY WERE LEFT
OUT OF TAF FOR NOW. PREVAILING CIGS WILL BE GENERALLY MID LEVEL
AT BKN TO OVC ALL SITES AS CLOUDS BUILD IN THIS AFTERNOON, WITH
SKIES LIFTING AND CLEARING INTO TOMORROW MORNING. WINDS BREEZY
THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS AROUND 20-25 KNOTS, CALMING DURING THE
EVENING AND NIGHTTIME HOURS AND PICKING BACK UP TOMORROW MORNING
INTO THE AFTERNOON AT 20-30 KNOTS.
