.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 233 AM MDT Mon Jun 30 2025

Storms are beginning to wind down early this morning. There could
still be a gust to 65 mph and heavy rain causing isolated flooding,
mainly east of Highway 83. Storms should be clear of the area by 6am
CT.

Once the storms clear, a cooler day is forecast as the upper trough
finishes swinging through the Plains and on the back side of the
cold front. Highs are currently forecast to be in the 80s underneath
partly cloud skies. Winds should remain from the north around 10 to
15 mph with gusts to 25 mph.

Tonight, skies are forecast to remain partly cloudy with winds
lightening and shifting to out of the south as the pressure gradient
weakens. Low temperatures are forecast to be a bit cooler in the 50s
and low 60s.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1146 AM MDT Sun Jun 29 2025

Through Wednesday the forecast looks dry for the most part.  The
ridge over the Great Basin on Monday shifts east to the Central
Plains. This will route storm activity north of the forecast area.
During the latter half of the week the ridge may shift east of the
forecast area.  If this happens, that would allow upper level short
wave troughs to move over the forecast area.  Models show one such
short wave trough moving through Friday night, which will have a
large impact on Independence Day activities.  Additional rounds of
storm activity could happen each evening through the weekend.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 520 AM MDT Mon Jun 30 2025

VFR conditions are expected to prevail throughout the day. Winds
will favor the northeaster all day and generally range from 8
to 15 kts, but some gusts of 20-25 kts are possible, especially
for KGLD. KGLD may also see some ceilings around 3,000-7,000 ft
AGL this morning, but flight condition impacts are not expected.
Overnight, winds look to become southeasterly before
southwesterly, but remain under 6 kts.


KGLD`s ASOS is having some technical issues and observations are
not being sent out. Due to the lack of information, we are not
planning on amending the TAF until observations return.
