DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1200 UTC FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 540 AM MDT FRI OCT 23 2026
ELEVATED WIND GUSTS HAVE PERSISTED OVERNIGHT AT KDEN/KAPA, WITH A
BRIEF PERIOD OF GUSTS EXCEEDING 40KTS AS SOME ELEVATED SHOWERS
PASSED ACROSS THE TAF SITES. GUIDANCE HAS STRUGGLED TO PORTRAY
SOME OF THE STRONGER GUSTS, BUT THINGS ARE STARTING TO SETTLE DOWN
AT THIS TIME. WHILE ELEVATED SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY TODAY, THERE SHOULD BE PERIODS WHERE
LIGHTER WINDS ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN ~13Z-16Z THIS
MORNING AT KDEN/KAPA. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY INCREASE
AFTER 16Z, WITH A MORE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE TO 30-35KTS AFTER
~19Z, BEFORE STARTING TO DIMINISH AROUND SUNSET (0Z-1Z). KBJC
SHOULD REMAIN SLIGHTLY MORE SHELTERED FROM THE STRONGER GUSTS, BUT
THERE COULD BE A FEW HOURS WHERE GUSTS BETWEEN 25-30KTS MAKE THEIR
WAY ACROSS THE AIRFIELD.
UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN WITH WIND DIRECTION FOR LATE TONIGHT AHEAD OF
A COLD FRONT EXPECTED EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, BUT SPEEDS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN AROUND 7KTS OR LESS BEFORE A NORTHERLY
TRANSITION BETWEEN 12Z-14Z. CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO START TO
LOWER WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE, WITH CEILINGS LIKELY DROPPING
BETWEEN 5,000-7,000 FEET AGL BY LATE SATURDAY MORNING.

ISSUED AT 607 AM CDT FRI OCT 23 2026
AS OF EARLY THIS MORNING, PRESENT SATELLITE WAS SEEING SCATTER
CLOUD DECKS ACROSS THE PANHANDLES WITH MOST OF THE CIGS BEING
REPORT HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP TERMINALS AT VFR CONDITIONS. THESE
CLOUD DECKS ARE LIKELY TO HOLD AT THIS HEIGHT THROUGH DAY WITH
SOME COVER BECOMING MORE BROKEN TO OVERCAST AS WE HEAD INTO THE
OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE WINDS AT THE SURFACE ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP
WITH THE APPROACHING SYSTEM. EXPECTED ALL TERMINALS TO BE CAPABLE
OF GUSTING UPWARDS OF 30 KNOTS BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH MOST CAMS
NOT SEEING THE WEAKEN UNTIL SUNSET. OTHERWISE, EXPECT ALL
TERMINALS TO STAY VFR FOR THE PACKAGE.
