DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2319 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 514 PM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE FAVORED TO PREVAIL FOR THE TERMINALS THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD, HOWEVER OCCASIONAL CIGS WITH BASES 070-080 CAN BE
EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING. A SECONDARY WAVE OF WEAK SHRA LOOKS
POSSIBLE IN THE 04-08Z TIMEFRAME THIS EVENING (~30% CHANCE), WHICH
MAY RESULT IN PERIODS OF BREEZIER SW GUSTS NEAR 25 KTS. OUTSIDE OF
THIS, EXPECTED STEADY S/SW FLOW OF 10-15 KTS FOR KDEN/KAPA, WITH A
MARKED INCREASE FRI AM. IT APPEARS INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT
SUSTAINED SPEEDS 12-18 KTS AND GUSTS 22-28 KTS WILL IMPACTS KDEN
AND KAPA THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WITH KBJC REMAINING MUCH MORE ON THE
FRINGE OF THE STRONGER WINDS.

GRAND JUNCTION AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1915 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.

GRAND JUNCTION AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1915 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.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2314 UTC THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2026
AVIATION
KSLC...SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AROUND 10Z FRIDAY, WITH A FEW
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE EARLY. THERE WILL BE AROUND A 40%
CHANCE OF MVFR VIS/CIGS WITH SHOWERS, AND A 10-20% CHANCE OF BRIEF
IFR WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM OR HEAVY SHOWER. WHILE WINDS ARE GENERALLY
FAVORED TO REMAIN SOUTHERLY, SHOWERS WILL BRING SOME PERIODS OF WEST
TO NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH ABOUT 03Z-04Z. SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE THEN
EXPECTED TO INCREASE LATER OVERNIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.
ISOLATED SHOWERS THEN REDEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE IN COVERAGE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH
THROUGH THE EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE EXCEPTION WILL
BE FAR NORTHERN TERMINALS WHERE MORE PERSISTENT SHOWER ACTIVITY IS
LIKELY TO CONTINUE. THERE WILL BE AROUND A 40% CHANCE OF MVFR
VIS/CIGS WITH SHOWERS, AND A 10-20% CHANCE OF BRIEF IFR WITH ANY
THUNDERSTORM OR HEAVY SHOWER. WINDS WILL STILL TEND TO FAVOR A
SOUTHERLY DIRECTION, IF NOT VARIABLE AT TIMES. AT TERMINALS ROUGHLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF I-80, SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
