.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday/...
Issued at 1134 PM MDT Sat Oct 3 2026
Weak upslope flow has allowed for a broken to overcast deck of
6,000 to 7,000 foot AGL clouds to develop over the foothills and
spread into the TAF sites. Winds are gradually becoming more
southerly and with that, expecting these to become less pronounced
over the next few hours, with KBJC likely holding onto them the
longest, as winds there are expected to hold onto a more
southeasterly component slightly longer than KDEN/KAPA.
For the rest of tonight, winds should settle into a south-
southeasterly flow and remain under 10 kts before we see speeds
start to gradually strengthen between 10Z-12Z. By 14Z to 15Z, KDEN
and KAPA will have potential for some 20-25 kt gusts for a few
hours, before speeds start to slacken around 17Z to 18Z. There is
potential for KDEN to see a few hours of northeasterly winds (<8
kts) before turning to the southeast for the evening, with a few
hours of easterly winds between (21Z-23Z), or they hang onto
south-southeasterly winds through the afternoon where they would
be slightly slower to weaken to under 8 kts (by 21Z), with the
first scenario slightly more favored at KDEN, and the second
slightly more favored at KAPA. Winds are expected to remain light
at KBJC through the day, staying under 7 kts. A few hours of enhanced
southerly winds are expected at KDEN/KAPA beginning by 0Z-2Z,
before settling into a south-southwesterly drainage for the
overnight hours.

Issued at 1019 PM MDT Sat Oct 3 2026
VFR conditions are expected throughout the TAF period region-
wide. Winds will generally be light and terrain-driven. A few
isolated showers may develop over the San Juans tomorrow
after 18Z. Though the likelihood of any storms passing over TEX
is too low to include in the TAF, rainfall may occasionally
occur within the terminal`s vicinity. Impacts should be minimal
to none though.

For KGLD & KMCK... VFR conditions are expected at both sites
with clear skies. The low level wind shear is weakening with the
jet closer to 35 kts as of 05Z. The jet should continue to
weaken, so low level wind shear is not expected the remainder of
the night. Winds should generally be around 07-10 kts with a
few gusts to 15-20 kts. Winds are also forecast to shift from
out of the north/east to out of the east/south through 18Z.

A weak cold front will pass across the TAF sites, with winds
becoming north to northeasterly at 8-10 kts early in the period.
Winds will gradually veer to the southeast later in the period
but remain light as surface high pressure moves off to the
east. VFR conditions are forecast with clear skies.

Low clouds with MVFR to IFR ceilings will develop across portions
of the east slopes of the central mountain chain early this
morning before spreading to much of eastern New Mexico come
sunrise. Patchy fog cannot be ruled out. Meanwhile, breezy to
locally gusty east canyon gap winds will develop across eastern
ABQ (including KABQ) around sunrise spreading west to KGNT and
KGUP late this morning. Peak gusts of around 20 to 30 kts across
the west central mountains and canyon openings into the middle
RGV. East winds taper off around sunset. Low clouds with some
patchy drizzle along and east of the central mountain chain slowly
taper off from north to south during the afternoon hours
lingering longest across the east slopes of the Sacramento
Mountains and southeast plains, including KROW, at the end of the
TAF period.
