.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday/...
Issued at 1041 AM MST Sun Nov 16 2025
Main concern is the winds over the next 30 hours. To start, light
and VRB winds are on course to transition to diurnal easterlies
given sufficient sunshine and weak gradient. Those winds will then
turn E-SE-S through 04Z. After 04Z, high based showers
(sprinkles/virga) will approach which means a period of gusty
outflow winds from the SSW will be likely (60% chance), so added a
TEMPO G30kts to account for that, with a low probability (20%
chance) of 35-40 kts per latest HRRR.
After that disturbance moves across, we`ll see a mountain wave
develop as west/southwest flow strengthens. Thus, some occasional
West gust to 25 kts will be possible as far east as KDEN 08Z-15Z.
Upper level trough passes by/before 15Z so that`s when stronger
subsidence arrives. That should be enough to bring some of the
strong/gusty winds near the foothills eastward onto the adjacent
plains including KDEN and KAPA. We may approach crosswind
thresholds, especially if a more westerly component wind occurs,
but currently forecast 280 degrees with G25-30 kts starting 16Z
and continuing through about 21Z. After 21Z, we should see a
decrease of W/NW winds, and even a 30-40% chance of some variable
winds working into KDEN and KAPA.
KBJC, on the other hand, will be much more vulnerable to the
strong, gusty winds downsloping off the foothills. We`ve bumped up
the TEMPO winds overnight to account for potential of initial
mountain wave, but then higher confidence of stronger and more
persistent winds developing by 14Z-15Z Monday with gusts to 35-45
kts likely.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 433 PM MST Sun Nov 16 2025
KCOS and KPUB: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours.
Winds will become westerly this evening and maintain a westerly
component through the end of this TAF period. Winds overnight are
expected to remain relatively light around 10 knots, though will
quickly increase late tomorrow morning as diurnal mixing becomes
established, with frequent gusts around 25 knots anticipated. In
addition, there may be a brief window this evening of increased
westerly winds as showers push off the higher terrain and weaken,
pushing out outflows. Otherwise, dry conditions are expected, with
periods of high level clouds persisting through tomorrow.
KALS: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. Winds are
anticipated to start off gusty during this TAF period, with gusts up
to around 30 knots anticipated. Overnight, winds lessen back to
around 10 knots, and hover around this through tomorrow afternoon,
though gusts around 20 knots will be possible tomorrow afternoon as
diurnal mixing becomes established. In addition, showers may impact
the TAF site this evening, which could bring increased winds, and
decreased visibility and ceiling heights. Beyond that though, dry
conditions are expected tonight and through tomorrow afternoon, with
pockets of high level clouds persisting.

Issued at 442 PM MST Sun Nov 16 2025
A system lifting through the region this afternoon is bringing
big changes compared to the SKC of the past week or so.
Precipitation and lower clouds will bring ILS/MVFR conditions to
many TAF sites through the overnight hours with localized IFR
as rain mixes with and changes to snow. Showers will linger
across the northern portions of Colorado through the afternoon
on Monday leaving lower clouds and possible MVFR conditions in
place from KHDN to KEGE and KASE past 18Z.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 323 PM MST Sun Nov 16 2025
An upper low over the Great Basin tracks northeast tonight and into
southern Wyoming by 12Z/Monday. Southerly flow ahead of this feature
generates a wave of showers that initially tracks into southwest
Wyoming between 01Z-03Z/Monday. Precipitation spreads farther north
to a line from KJAC-KRIW-KCPR between 05Z-07Z/Monday, and MVFR
conditions become widespread along and south of this line.
Temperatures favor light snow developing across southwest Wyoming
early Monday morning with IFR conditions becoming more common at
KRKS, KPNA, and KBPI. A 700mb circulation is set to move over
central Wyoming between 09Z-15Z/Monday. This leads to a period
of enhanced precipitation before downsloping northwest flow
arrives by midday Monday. The northwest flow allows for
improving conditions between 16Z-20Z/Monday at terminals west of
the Continental Divide and at KRIW and KLND. MVFR ceilings and
light rain linger around KCPR through Monday afternoon. Gusty
southerly surface wind late tonight, especially at KRKS and
KCPR, gives way to gusty west to northwest wind Monday
afternoon. The strongest wind of 20-35kts blows at KRKS
beginning around 12Z/Monday. Widespread mountain obscurations
occur between 03Z and 18Z/Monday with mountain top obscurations
persisting through the entire period.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZLC and ZDV for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Minimal aviation concerns are expected during the day at all
terminals. This evening, a storm system will begin to move into
southeast Wyoming, bringing precipitation and low stratus. A rain
snow mix will be possible at KRWL and KLAR, likely reducing
visibility below VFR criteria. Low stratus will also lead to low
CIGs at KRWL. Precipitation will move into terminals further
east later overnight and into Monday morning, however this
precipitation will likely remain as rain, causing less impacts.

The main aviation concern will be the development of MVFR and
possibly IFR ceilings across the western Sandhills toward 12Z
Monday, developing eastward through 18Z Sunday. Have introduced
MVFR ceilings at KLBF by 14Z persisting through 18Z. At KVTN,
have MVFR ceilings by 16Z. The timing and duration of the
stratus as well as if IFR ceilings develop remains below
average confidence.

VFR conditions forecast for the TAFs. Southerly to southeast
winds will continue through the night. Toward 12z winds will
begin to turn to the west. Around 16z winds will become breezy,
then lighten by 0z. Model data is indicating MVFR ceiling east
of KMCK. Model trends have pushed the west edge of these
ceilings further east. Currently KMCK should be west of the MVFR
conditions. If the MVFR cloud deck were to move over KMCK, it
would happen after 14z.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1040 AM MST Sun Nov 16 2025
A line of showers and isolated TS will surge east along a strong
cold front entering western NM today. The heavier activity may
produce localized MVFR cigs for a couple hours with a gusty west
wind shift near 30KT. This front will reach the RGV between 5pm
and 7pm. Precip will then focus along the west-facing slopes of
the northern mts thru midnight. The NBM shows a 20-40% chance of
MVFR cigs persisting overnight around KGUP, KFMN and the northern
high terrain with a 10-20% chance of IFR cigs in these same areas.
Partial clearing is expected elsewhere over central and western NM
with clear skies and gusty west winds over eastern NM all night.
