Latest news, Aug 3, 2026: I've been updating how BumpySkies treats airport elevations, forecasts climb and descent rates, and classifies turbulence intensity, all based on real-world guidance. More about it in the next newsletter. Until then, if anything seems off, please report an issue!

UAL8254: 2 legs

UAL8254, DEN to SBA: no forecast yet

It's too early to give you a forecast. I don't yet know the flight plan for this leg of UAL8254, so I can't give you an accurate forecast right now. Come check again closer to departure time. (Note that sometimes I don't know the flight plan until minutes before boarding!)

BumpySkies doesn't know the flight plan yet, so Nelly the groundhog is biding her time in the airport lounge. She'll check again later.
