.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday/...
Issued at 1140 PM MDT Mon Jul 14 2025
VFR through Tuesday evening. Drainage winds are established at
the terminals this evening and should continue through most of the
overnight hours. Expect a turn to the southwest between 09-12z,
followed by northwest winds most of Tuesday morning. A little
uncertainty if winds eventually turn N/NNE by the afternoon hours,
but did not opt for any changes to the previous TAF. Overall a
lower chance of gusty showers/outflow winds at the terminals
Tuesday afternoon with the previous PROB30 still covering that
potential well enough.
By Tuesday evening, northeasterly flow looks like it will
establish, leading to a gradual moistening trend overnight.
Guidance hints at stratus potential after 06z Wednesday with
better potential towards MVFR/IFR cigs by Wednesday morning.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 301 AM MDT Tue Jul 15 2025
KALS...VFR conditions through the next 24 hours. A few
showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the San Luis
Valley on this afternoon in the 23-01z time period. Gusty
outflow winds will be the main concern along with brief reductions
in CIGS and VIS.
KCOS and KPUB...VFR conditions through the next 24 hours. A
cold front will arrive this afternoon, bringing a northerly
wind shift with gusts near 25 kts possible into the evening.
There is a very low probability of an isolated shower, but
confidence in occurrence is low at this time. A secondary cold
front will arrive late tonight into Wednesday morning with
continued northerly winds. Mozley

A few isolated showers continue overnight over the higher terrain
with outflow gusts to 40+ kts. Look for these to become limited
to mostly north of the I-70 corridor after 08Z. Otherwise
expect VFR conditions with light winds through 18Z after which
winds will pick up from the west to northwest along with
isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms lasting into the
evening. Wild fires in the region are producing heavy smoke
that may periodically impact KGUC, KMTJ and KGJT with reduced
visibility through the TAF period.

.AVIATION...Tuesday 15/06Z through Wednesday 16/06Z...Mostly VFR
conditions will prevail, but brief MVFR conditions in SHRA/TSRA
possible. -SHRA remains along and south of a KPRC-KSOW line this
evening, but more scattered activity is expected after 18Z.
SHRA/TSRA chances increase to widespread after 00Z, primarily
Flagstaff eastward. FU/HZ likely near KGCN and KPGA from local
wildfires.
OUTLOOK...Wednesday 16/06Z through Friday 18/06Z...Daily chances
for SHRA/TSRA will continue, with best chances between 18Z-04Z
each day. Outside of reduced visibilities and ceilings in heavier
storms, VFR conditions should prevail. W-SW winds 5-15 kts
gusting near 25 kts expected during the afternoons, but
gusty/erratic winds from storms will be likely.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Thunderstorms are expected to occur near the
terminal beginning as early as 20z with the highest confidence of
thunderstorms impacting the terminal from around 22z through 04z.
Gusty and erratic winds are possible near and within these
thunderstorms, and severe wind gusts greater than 58mph cannot be
ruled out. VFR conditions are expected to follow with the passage of
the storms.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will persist
through the morning hours before thunderstorms move near or directly
impact the majority of our terminals this afternoon. The highest
confidence of terminals seeing thunderstorms are at KOGD, KSVR,
KPVU, KHCR, KEVW, and KCDC after 20z lasting through 04z at the
latest. Gusty and erratic winds are possible near and within these
thunderstorms, and severe wind gusts greater than 58mph cannot be
ruled out. VFR conditions are expected to follow with the passage of
the storms.

VFR conditions will prevail tonight into Tuesday morning. Moisture
will increase tonight into tomorrow as a weather system moves in
from the north. This weather system will bring widespread shower and
thunderstorm chances to the area beginning Tuesday afternoon.
Impacts are likely (70%) from these showers and storms at terminals,
but confidence remains low on the exact timing of impacts, thus
PROB30 groups remain for now. With the increased moisture values it
is conceivable vis may drop to MVFR/IFR with the strongest storms.
Damaging wind gusts will be possible with storms across the area and
large hail will be possible with storms east of The Divide, Tuesday
afternoon and evening. A strong cold front will push through tonight
into tomorrow from north to south, with a wind shift becoming
northerly east of The Divide. This front will result in an increase
in wind speeds tonight through Tuesday evening. low clouds will move
into northern Wyoming Tuesday evening, with IFR conditions at KCOD
by 03Z.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

A Surface cold front will move south across the high plains starting
late tonight and early Tuesday morning. This front is forecast to
stall across southeast Wyoming late Tuesday night bringing
widespread rainfall and thunderstorms to the region through
Wednesday.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: A few remaining showers are producing gusts
up to 55 mph near KBFF and possibly CDR. Otherwise, these showers
will continue drifting east and weakening through 08z.
Generally VFR conditions expected through tonight and Tuesday.
Expect some thunderstorm develop as the cold front moves south, so
mentioned the possibility of thunder (PROB30) for most terminals.
Nocturnal thunderstorms and low CIGS are expected near KCDR, KAIA,
and KBFF after 04z Wednesday with IFR conditions possible.

Expect LLWS tonight from the south at 35-40 kts around the
200-500 feet AGL height. There is a chance some gusts around 30
kts could mix down to the surface before sunrise, but they will
be sporadic. As the sun rises, the low level jet will weaken
and the inversion will erode. We will see southerly winds pick
up in the mid morning, being fairly similar to yesterday.
Around 0Z, both KGLD and KMCK will see a potential of strong to
severe storms moving in from the west. KGLD has about a 15-25%
chance of seeing these storms while KMCK has a 30-40% chance of
seeing the storms. These look to be run of the mill high based,
High Plains storms, so expect erratic winds and visibility
reductions if you run into a storm. Storms look to leave the TAF
sites between 4-6Z, but we could see IFR ceilings by 12Z
Wednesday.

VFR conditions will prevail in vicinity of all TAF sites through

generally after 14-15Z as lee side troughing slowly strengthens
in eastern Colorado. Gusts up to 30kt will be possible this
afternoon with peak daytime heating. Winds are then expected to
subside somewhat this evening with loss of daytime heating.

Only a few showers remain in the middle Rio Grande Valley tonight.
An outflow boundary associated with these showers will continue
its way south down the Rio Grande Valley, creating gusty outflow
winds in its wake for an hour or two. No additional storm
development is expected tonight, allowing VFR conditions and light
winds to prevail.
Storms tomorrow will develop around 18Z and favor the high terrain
along and west of the central mountain chain. Storms will slowly
drift south off the mountains and create gusty outflow winds as
they do. Brief gusty outflow winds up to 40KT will be a threat at
all sites, with the highest confidence in central and western NM.
Similar to today, storm coverage and intensity will trend down
between 00Z and 06Z.
