Denver/Boulder Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday/...
Issued at 1148 PM MDT Wed Sep 30 2026
Showers persist just east of the TAF sites late tonight, with
fairly calm conditions observed at all three Denver TAF sites.
Winds are currently in the process of turning to drainage at
KDEN/KAPA, with current south-southeasterly winds expected to
transition to the southwest in the next hour or so, before
becoming more westerly for the rest of tonight. KBJC is currently
more NW where they are expected to remain before a weak cold
front is still expected to turn winds to the north between 12Z to
14Z at all TAF sites. Winds are expected to turn clockwise through
the morning, becoming northeasterly by the latter half of the
morning. The more northerly winds are likely to pull some of the
elevated moisture from the plains into the TAF sites. Guidance
continues to depict potential for a scattered to broken deck of
stratocumulus clouds to remain in place through the afternoon. The
latest hi-res models keep broken decks above 6,000 feet AGL, but
a few still show potential for a brief period of ceilings dropping
down to around 3,000 to 4,000 feet AGL. There is higher
confidence in the drier solutions depicted in the latest TAF, but
there is still a 10-15% chance we see a brief period of the lower
CIG in the late morning when the northeasterly winds set in. Winds
should turn to the south in the early evening before becoming
southerly for the overnight hours.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1055 PM MDT Wed Sep 30 2026
KCOS, KPUB, and KALS: MVFR conditions are expected for the start of
this TAF period, with VFR conditions developing by late morning for
all three TAF sites. Thick low level clouds will be in place
tonight, within MVFR ceiling heights. These clouds will slowly
increase heading into the morning hours, and thin in coverage
through tomorrow afternoon. Rain showers may persist for KCOS and
KPUB overnight, which could bring brief periods of slightly reduced
visibility. Otherwise, breezy winds tonight will start to lessen by
late tomorrow morning, and become less than 10 knots near to end of
this TAF period.

VFR conditions are in place as this storm system exits onto the
Plains. The biggest challenge will be fog and/stratus that
develops with low level moisture in place which is already
occurring at KDRO. So will continue to monitor satellite and
observation data overnight and update as necessary. Otherwise
sunny skies and light winds keep VFR in place tomorrow.

High level clouds continue to move through portions of the CWA as a
robust storm tracks across the Central Plains. Chances of
precipitation remains nil as the bulk of the shower activity will
stay to our south and east. So, expect VFR conditions to prevail
across all terminals for the duration of this TAF period. No other
aviation weather concerns for this forecast period as winds
overnight into Thursday will be generally less than 15 knots.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1106 PM MDT Wed Sep 30 2026
Scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue
through the overnight and early morning hours before ending.
KGLD stands about a 20% chance to see a thunderstorm overnight,
with lower chances at KMCK. Ceilings will be slow to improve and
mainly MVFR overnight, though a heavier passing shower may
briefly lower them to IFR at either location. Expecting a
return to VFR at KMCK around 10-12z as precipitation moves out,
but not until later in the afternoon at KGLD where low clouds
persist.

Issued at 1258 AM CDT Thu Oct 1 2026
Weak upslope flow ahead of a cold front could result in areas of
dense fog after 09z at KGCK and KDDC. But at the very least
IFR/LIFR conditions seem likely at these sites from 08z through
13z. An upper level cold pool will pass just south of the area
this afternoon, resulting in destabilization ahead of the cold
front, with numerous t-storms forming by 15-17z and spreading
eastward and southeastward. In the wake of the front after 20z,
a stratiform rain will develop and last for a few hours and then
gradually taper off, with MVFR conditions prevailing before
improving to VFR. Winds behind the front will likely gust to
over 30kts for several hours, with sustained winds 15-23 kts.

VFR conditions are expected to start the 06Z TAF period at all
TAF sites. Will see MVFR move into TAF sites starting around
12-14Z for KDHT/KGUY and around 18Z for KAMA, which could linger
then through the remainder of the TAF period. PROB30 group also
added to KGUY for reduced vsbys and potential TSRA conditions
starting around 18Z. Overall winds will be out of the north and
northwest at 10-25 kts, with higher gusts at times.

Light rain will persist overnight across portions of north central
and northeast NM. MVFR cigs will be common with this activity.
Elsewhere, low clouds and/or patchy fog will develop overnight.
Favored areas for low clouds or fog will be across western NM and
to a lesser extent, the central NM valleys. These conditions
should improve by 18Z Thursday. Northerly winds with gusts around
30kt have already developed across far northeast NM tonight, but
these wind gusts will increase in speed to between 35 and 45kt through
mid afternoon Thursday across northeast and east central areas.
Additionally, areas of light rain will continue across northeast
NM through the day, with additional showers developing near and
east of the Central Mountain Chain as well. Showers will remain
light, however, and VFR conditions will prevail with this
activity. Another round of low clouds and patchy fog will be
possible Thursday night.
