.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday/...
Issued at 528 AM MDT Wed May 15 2024
Seeing some partial scattering at mid-level on satellite imagery
on the back end of current deck of BKN mid-level clouds. Forecast
leans towards increased scattering later this morning before
coverage increases again in the afternoon with cumulus buildups as
isolated to scattered thunderstorms develop. This convection
should hold off until 20Z at least, possibly closer to 21Z, and
convective bases will likely be lower than previous days, around
040 or 050. Light drainage or variable winds early this morning
will transition to NNE or NE flow past sunrise, strengthening some
through the morning.
By Wed evening (00-02Z), thunderstorms should become less numerous
with a modest and temporary reduction in cloud cover, along with a
counter-clockwise rotation in winds back to light west or
southwest winds for the remainder of the evening and overnight
period. More stratiform rain showers should then begin to fill in
through the evening, most persistent across the foothills and
southwest metro, but likely impacting all Denver area terminals at
times for most of the evening with a return to lower CIG heights
in the 015-025 range. Some potential for minor vis restrictions of
5-6SM in BR dependent on extent of evening precipitation and exact
cloud bases.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 412 AM MDT Wed May 15 2024
Relatively quiet across the TAF sites early this morning, with mid
and high clouds in place along with some very isolated light
showers. Do think the terminals will stay dry for the morning time
frame though. Cold front currently pushing south across the plains
and is currently moving across COS. At this time, increased
northerly speeds and gusts are being observed with FROPA, but think
any stronger gusts will remain limited to here over the next 1-2
hours. Some lower ceilings have developed just to the north of COS,
along the Palmer Divide. Given the northerly component to the winds,
expect any lower ceilings to stay just to the north of COS this
morning.
An active day is appearing likely for all of the terminals, and
especially the COS and PUB sites. Showers and thunderstorms are
expected to develop by midday and early afternoon, with increasing
chances for this precip to move across the terminals during the
afternoon hours. Chances look similar at all sites, but think there
is some slightly higher chances for COS and PUB. While confidence is
lower on exact impact, strong to severe storm development is
possible near the COS and PUB sites and if impacted, large hail and
damaging wind gusts would be the main hazards. The risk of
thunderstorms lowers this evening, but additional showers will be
likely well into the evening hours. This will assist with lowering
ceilings, with at least low end MVFR ceilings likely developing

Rain is expected through 13Z/14Z at KCPR, but MVFR ceilings are
expected to linger through 19Z. VCSH are then expected as
instability increases. Rain showers will develop off the
southern end of the Absaroka and Wind River Mountains at the
same time, as well as off the Bighorns. Most these showers are
not expected to directly impact any terminals, but the chance is
high enough to include in terminals close to them mainly KCOD,
KLND and KCPR. Any lightning Wednesday afternoon will be
isolated. The rain showers will diminish across the area between
01Z and 05Z.

Rain showers will be the primary concern for the 12Z TAF
period. Isolated to scattered rain showers will drift across
southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska this morning through the
late afternoon hours. Every terminal has the potential to see a
rain shower overhead with conditions dropping to MVFR to near-
IFR as the rain showers move through. Best chances for
precipitation in the vicinity of the terminals will be 13-00Z
today. Winds will remain relatively calm throughout the day.

northwest wind under 10kts at taf issuance will increase a bit
from 15z-00z with gusts up to 20kts from the north. Tonight,
northerly winds around 11kts back to the northwest and decrease
below 10kts. Showers/thunderstorms are currently not expected to
be in the vicinity or over the terminal.
KMCK...VFR conditions are expected through the period. A light
northwest wind at taf issuance will veer to the north around
10kts from 00z-07z, then back to the northwest at speeds around
6kts through the rest of the taf period. There is low confidence
in showers/thunderstorms directly impacting the terminal but
they (rain showers) could be in the vicinity for much of the

During the day we should have VFR flight category for all
terminals. After 21Z we could see some isolated storms develop
along a frontal boundary from LBL to DCC to HYS. More widespread
storms will develop after 03Z mainly south of highway 50 and
would impact LBL the most. These storms could contain brief
gusty winds over 50 kts.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 623 AM CDT Wed May 15 2024
VFR conditions are expected throughout the majority of the 12Z
TAF period at all TAF sites. The only exception will be starting
from around 21Z through around 03Z Thursday period with various
groupings of PROB30 for all three TAF sites with TSRA conditions
possible and erratic winds. Overall winds should shift from
southerly to northerly behind the passing cold front. The front
may not reach KAMA, keeping winds there out of the south and
southwest. Magnitude of winds should be 5-15 kts. Could see some
MVFR cigs towards the end of the TAF period, but will update
forecast accordingly in next TAF package for this potential.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 528 AM MDT Wed May 15 2024
Showers and storms will develop over the high terrain of western
and northern NM around 18Z, increasing in coverage through the
afternoon. As storms drift of the northern mountains into the
northeast and east-central plains, they will intensify and
potentially produce large hail and damaging wind gusts. Showers
and storms in central and western areas will not be severe, but
could produce gusty outflow winds up to 40kts. A backdoor cold
front, aided by convective outflows, will surge south and westward
overnight into the Rio Grande Valley. Gusts up to 30kts are
possible along and behind this boundary.
A convergence zone sets up across central NM overnight, increasing
the coverage of rain showers. MVFR cigs may develop in a few
areas between 06Z and 12Z, favoring locations in and around the
northern mtns, including KAXX, KSKX, and KLVS.
