.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1136 AM MDT Thu May 23 2024
Today`s cold front is nosing into the northwest corner of the
forecast area. High clouds ahead of the boundary are quickly
filling in ahead, covering areas generally north of the I-70
corridor. Expect gusty southwest winds along and ahead of said
front, with max gusts exceeding 30 kts over most TAF sites
this afternoon. Precipitation looks weak with this one, so most
TAF sites can expect gusty outflow winds from decaying storms
near by and/or virga overhead rather than lowered CIGS/VIS.
Chance for thunderstorms favors the high country along and,
generally, north of CNY- MTJ- and GUC through late evening
hours. However, storms are expected to weaken by sunset and the
frontal boundary will quickly drift east of the Divide
overnight. Mostly clear skies and VFR conditions are forecast
for Friday.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1136 AM MDT Thu May 23 2024
Today`s cold front is nosing into the northwest corner of the
forecast area. High clouds ahead of the boundary are quickly
filling in ahead, covering areas generally north of the I-70
corridor. Expect gusty southwest winds along and ahead of said
front, with max gusts exceeding 30 kts over most TAF sites
this afternoon. Precipitation looks weak with this one, so most
TAF sites can expect gusty outflow winds from decaying storms
near by and/or virga overhead rather than lowered CIGS/VIS.
Chance for thunderstorms favors the high country along and,
generally, north of CNY- MTJ- and GUC through late evening
hours. However, storms are expected to weaken by sunset and the
frontal boundary will quickly drift east of the Divide
overnight. Mostly clear skies and VFR conditions are forecast
for Friday.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 405 PM MDT Thu May 23 2024
The last wave of the upper low pressure system will push through
today. Showers will mostly be confined to the north (KJAC, KCOD,
KWRL terminals), though there is a chance (20%) that KPNA, KRIW, and
KCPR terminals could see some brief rain showers, with best chances
(50%) at KRIW. MVFR conditions are expected with the showers at the
aforementioned terminals. KJAC and KCOD may continue to see IFR
conditions with snow showers through the first few hours of the
period, with conditions improving to MVFR and eventually VFR by 02Z.
All terminals should see prevailing VFR conditions and cloud cover
beginning to scatter out by 06Z tonight.
A northerly wind push will continue to move through the Wind River
Basin and impact KRIW and eventually KCPR terminals around 00Z-02Z.
This northerly push will be associated with a cold front and
accompanying rain showers. Winds will decrease overnight (by 06Z)
and increases in winds Friday morning will be limited to the favored
locations (KPNA and KCPR). Winds will continue to increase towards
midday, but not nearly as strong as what was experienced today.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Intermittent MVFR/IFR conditions may impact the KRWL and KLAR
terminals as an area of light snow showers moves across the
area associated the frontal boundary. Areas ahead of this
frontal boundary will see mainly VFR conditions, but post FROPA
winds will become gusty and bring wind gusts between 40-45 knots to
all terminals by the late afternoon through the overnight
hours.

A slow to erode axis of low level stratus drifting slowly eastward
through southwest Kansas will result in MVFR cigs with isolated IFR
cigs primarily in vicinity of KDDC, and later possibly KHYS, through
mid/late afternoon with widespread VFR conditions farther west.
Isolated thunderstorms may be possible along and ahead of a dryline
advancing through southwest Kansas later this afternoon, potentially
affecting areas mainly east of KDDC. Additionally, a second round
of thunderstorms are expected to develop along and ahead of a cold
front pushing southeast across central Kansas tonight, potentially
affecting the vicinity of KHYS generally after 05-07Z. Otherwise,
expect widespread VFR conditions to continue through early Friday.
Southerly winds 15 to 30kt through early/mid-evening due to a
strengthening lee side trough of low pressure in eastern Colorado,
are expected to turn northerly around 25 to 35kt with gusts up to
45kt initially behind a cold front pushing southeast through western
Kansas generally after 04-06Z, then gradually subsiding through late
Friday morning as the front dives farther south through the Texas
Panhandle and Oklahoma.

VFR conditions are expected to hold under these gusty
southwesterly winds. Expect these winds to last through the late
evening hours with potential for gust to reach near the 35 kt
mark. Low chance of severe thunderstorms does exist in the far
eastern portion of the Panhandles, but at this time no impacts are
expected to the terminals. Otherwise, look for a cold frontal
passage to move through late tonight and create a northerly wind
shift at all terminals by sunrise Friday.

VFR prevails with increasing southwesterly winds most areas this
afternoon. Peak gusts of 25 to 35 kts will focus through the
highlands with later onset time of breezy to windy conditions in
more protected valley locations like KABQ or KROW. Winds taper
off this evening with a return to southwesterly winds by the end
of the TAF period at 18Z Friday. There will also be isolated LLWS
concerns along and just east of the ridgeline along the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains. This will include the KAXX terminal, and perhaps
KLVS and KRTN.
