Issued at 532 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Cold front moved through on schedule with light northerly winds persisting this morning. Stratus deck came in a bit higher than originally expected with generally SCT/BKN 040-050 obs across northeast Colorado. Guidance has this quickly dissipating through the morning hours. Winds should turn to the northeast, then to an east/southeast component by this afternoon. Scattered convection is still expected to develop later this afternoon. The best chance of TSRA is near/south of APA with lower chances for BJC/DEN. Just enough coverage in the metro to justify the addition of a PROB30 at DEN, mainly for modestly gusty outflow winds for a brief period focused around 00z this evening. Overnight drainage flow is expected to be stronger than normal, with a few gusts of 25-30kt overnight. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 291715Z AUTO 15006KT 10SM SCT070 OVC090 12/04 A3071 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 291655Z AUTO 15008KT 10SM SCT070 BKN080 BKN110 12/04 A3070 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 291635Z AUTO 15008KT 10SM SCT080 BKN110 13/05 A3070 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 291655Z AUTO 35003KT 10SM SCT140 19/06 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP186 T01920056 METAR KAFF 291555Z AUTO 33009KT 10SM BKN150 18/06 A3037 RMK AO2 SLP190 T01790055 METAR KAFF 291455Z AUTO 01014KT 10SM BKN150 16/04 A3038 RMK AO2 SLP191 T01590043 52016 KCOS 291141Z 2912/3012 36015G30KT P6SM SCT120 FM291500 36012KT P6SM SCT120 FM291700 14010KT P6SM FEW100 FM291900 16012G22KT P6SM SCT100 SCT250 FM300000 14015KT P6SM VCSH BKN100 TEMPO 3000/3002 VRB20G40KT 2SM TSRA BKN030CB FM300600 16010KT P6SM BKN015 METAR KCOS 291654Z 26004KT 10SM FEW100 FEW150 SCT200 22/07 A3037 RMK AO2 SLP192 T02220072 METAR KCOS 291554Z 35007G14KT 10SM FEW100 SCT150 SCT200 20/07 A3038 RMK AO2 SLP202 T02000067 METAR KCOS 291454Z 34013KT 10SM FEW100 BKN150 BKN250 17/06 A3039 RMK AO2 SLP208 T01670061 51023 METAR KABH 291655Z AUTO 01007KT 10SM CLR 22/07 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP199 T02170071 METAR KABH 291555Z AUTO 03011KT 10SM CLR 20/07 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP202 T01990073 METAR KABH 291455Z AUTO 03015G21KT 10SM BKN160 19/08 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP202 T01910078 52019 METAR KFLY 291715Z AUTO 06004KT 10SM CLR 22/07 A3041 RMK AO2 T02150069 METAR KFLY 291655Z AUTO 03005KT 10SM CLR 21/07 A3041 RMK AO2 T02050070 METAR KFLY 291635Z AUTO 04006G16KT 10SM CLR 19/07 A3042 RMK AO2 T01920070 METAR KFCS 291655Z AUTO 36003KT 10SM CLR 22/06 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP199 T02240062 $ METAR KFCS 291555Z AUTO 36010KT 10SM CLR 22/07 A3032 RMK AO2 SLP194 T02150066 $ METAR KFCS 291455Z AUTO 01016KT 10SM FEW150 19/05 A3032 RMK AO2 SLP198 T01880049 52025 $ KPUB 291141Z 2912/3012 01018G30KT P6SM SCT120 FM291600 06012KT P6SM SCT120 FM291900 13010G20KT P6SM SCT120 SCT250 FM300000 11015G22KT P6SM OVC100 TEMPO 3000/3002 VRB20G45KT 2SM -TSRA BKN050CB FM300200 33010G20KT P6SM VCSH BKN100 FM300400 08010KT P6SM SCT050 BKN100 FM300900 09007KT P6SM BKN020 METAR KPUB 291653Z 10010KT 10SM BKN060 25/09 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP184 T02500089 METAR KPUB 291553Z 04009G18KT 10SM OVC060 24/09 A3028 RMK AO2 PK WND 02027/1458 SLP185 T02440089 METAR KPUB 291453Z 02018G29KT 10SM OVC060 22/08 A3028 RMK AO2 PK WND 03032/1400 SLP178 T02220083 51023 METAR KVTP 291715Z AUTO 08007KT 10SM CLR 14/07 A3071 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 291655Z AUTO 08007KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3071 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 291635Z AUTO 09007KT 10SM CLR 12/07 A3070 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 291654Z AUTO 03005KT 10SM OVC030 20/07 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP197 T02000067 SPECI KTAD 291642Z AUTO 02006KT 10SM OVC029 20/07 A3035 RMK AO2 T02000067 SPECI KTAD 291618Z AUTO 36006KT 10SM OVC030 19/06 A3035 RMK AO2 T01940061 METAR KLHX 291653Z AUTO 04013KT 10SM FEW060 26/12 A3027 RMK AO2 SLP181 T02560117 $ METAR KLHX 291553Z AUTO 03017KT 10SM BKN055 OVC070 23/11 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP180 T02330106 $ METAR KLHX 291453Z AUTO 36016KT 10SM FEW049 SCT070 22/11 A3024 RMK AO2 PK WND 01026/1403 SLP174 T02170111 51022 $ METAR KLAA 291653Z AUTO 04015G23KT 10SM OVC070 27/14 A3021 RMK AO2 SLP174 T02670139 METAR KLAA 291553Z AUTO 03013G22KT 10SM FEW029 OVC070 24/15 A3021 RMK AO2 SLP172 T02390150 METAR KLAA 291453Z AUTO 03016G26KT 10SM OVC060 23/14 A3019 RMK AO2 PK WND 01027/1403 SLP168 T02280139 53030 Sunrise/Sunset for 06/29/2024 Burlington - 05:25:41 MDT / 20:19:48 MDT Pueblo - 05:38:19 MDT / 20:25:57 MDT Lamar - 05:30:51 MDT / 20:17:24 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 06/29/24 17:18 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 13000 FT MSL...224/010 12400 FT MSL...181/008 12000 FT MSL...171/008 11000 FT MSL...164/010 10900 FT MSL...166/011 10000 FT MSL...161/009 9700 FT MSL...173/006 9000 FT MSL...019/005 8600 FT MSL...037/007 8000 FT MSL...043/009 7800 FT MSL...039/010 7100 FT MSL...044/010 7000 FT MSL...042/010 6400 FT MSL...047/010 6000 FT MSL...050/010 5900 FT MSL...054/011 5700 FT MSL...056/010 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 1006 UTC Saturday, June 29, 2024 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 403 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024 KCOS and KPUB...VFR conditions expected this morning with gusty north winds up to 25-30 kts through 15-16z before winds shift around from the east to southeast at 10-20 kts by afternoon. Thunderstorms will develop over the mountains around noon and spread off into the adjacent plains and I-25 corridor region around 00z. Brief MVFR conditions with TSRA will be possible at both terminals for a couple hours into the evening. MVFR to IFR conditions will be possible overnight as stratus, showers and isolated embedded thunderstorms develop across the plains overnight. Greatest chance for TS will be east of both terminals. KALS will remain VFR over the next 24 hours with a lower end probability of VCSH/VCTS near the terminal during the late afternoon and evening. Winds will remain under 15 kts but could gust up to 35 kts near thunderstorms. -KT * * * * * Northwest Colorado * * * * * METAR KCAG 291653Z AUTO VRB04KT 10SM CLR 24/10 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP169 T02390100 $ METAR KCAG 291553Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 20/11 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP175 T02000111 $ METAR KCAG 291453Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM CLR 17/11 A3026 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01670111 51009 $ METAR KHDN 291656Z AUTO VRB04KT 10SM CLR 22/09 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP181 T02170094 METAR KHDN 291556Z AUTO 06004KT 10SM CLR 20/09 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP183 T02000094 METAR KHDN 291456Z AUTO 09004KT 10SM CLR 17/11 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP188 T01720111 51011 METAR KSBS 291715Z AUTO 22003KT 10SM CLR 21/13 A3028 RMK AO1 T02130129 METAR KSBS 291655Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 21/12 A3028 RMK AO1 T02050117 METAR KSBS 291635Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 20/12 A3028 RMK AO1 T01950119 METAR KC07 291715Z AUTO 26005KT 10SM CLR 17/05 A3057 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 291655Z AUTO 26003KT 10SM CLR 16/05 A3057 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 291635Z AUTO 24004KT 10SM CLR 16/05 A3056 RMK AO2 METAR KEEO 291653Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 23/12 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP158 T02280122 METAR KEEO 291553Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 19/10 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP166 T01890100 METAR KEEO 291453Z AUTO 07003KT 10SM CLR 16/10 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP169 T01610100 51006 METAR K20V 291715Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 20/10 A3036 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 291655Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 20/10 A3036 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 291635Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 19/10 A3036 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 291715Z AUTO RMK AO2 PWINO TSNO METAR KGNB 291655Z AUTO RMK AO2 PWINO TSNO METAR KGNB 291635Z AUTO RMK AO2 PWINO TSNO METAR K0CO 291715Z AUTO 25010G20KT SCT090 10/M01 A3074 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 291655Z AUTO 25007G24KT SCT090 10/00 A3073 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 291635Z AUTO 24007KT BKN100 10/00 A3073 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR KC99 291713Z AUTO 19005KT 10SM SCT120 14/04 A3061 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 291654Z AUTO 20005KT 10SM BKN120 12/03 A3061 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 291633Z AUTO 20007KT 10SM OVC120 11/03 A3060 RMK AO2 KGJT 291721Z 2918/3018 11012KT P6SM FEW080 SCT110 FM291900 32007KT P6SM VCTS FEW080CB SCT110 TEMPO 2920/2924 VRB20G35KT -TSRA FM300300 13010G22KT P6SM SCT090 BKN110 FM300900 11014KT P6SM FEW060 SCT100 METAR KGJT 291653Z 11012KT 10SM CLR 27/12 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP126 T02720122 METAR KGJT 291553Z 10013KT 10SM CLR 26/12 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP124 T02560122 METAR KGJT 291453Z 12013KT 10SM CLR 23/13 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP128 T02280133 51010 KRIL 291721Z 2918/3018 VRB03KT P6SM SKC FM292100 27011KT P6SM FEW110 SCT200 FM292300 21011KT P6SM FEW110 SCT200 FM300200 14010KT P6SM FEW100 SCT200 FM301200 08005KT P6SM FEW090 FEW250 METAR KRIL 291653Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM CLR 26/11 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP151 T02560106 METAR KRIL 291553Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 22/11 A3020 RMK AO2 SLP161 T02220111 METAR KRIL 291453Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM CLR 19/11 A3020 RMK AO2 SLP159 T01940106 51007 METAR K5SM 291715Z AUTO 22004KT 10SM BKN080 17/06 A3062 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 291655Z AUTO 21004KT 10SM SCT080 17/06 A3062 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 291635Z AUTO 21003KT 10SM CLR 16/06 A3062 RMK AO2 KEGE 291721Z 2918/3018 VRB03KT P6SM FEW100 FM292000 25008KT P6SM VCTS FEW090CB SCT200 TEMPO 2921/2924 VRB20G35KT -TSRA FM300100 19009KT P6SM VCTS SCT100CB BKN120 FM300300 12007KT P6SM VCSH SCT100 BKN120 FM300900 VRB03KT P6SM SCT120 SCT200 METAR KEGE 291656Z VRB03KT 10SM CLR 22/08 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP157 T02170083 PNO $ METAR KEGE 291556Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 18/09 A3032 RMK AO2 SLP160 T01830089 PNO $ METAR KEGE 291456Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/09 A3033 RMK AO2 SLP163 6//// T01440089 51007 PNO $ KASE 291721Z 2918/3018 13010KT P6SM FEW080 FM291900 32007KT P6SM FEW080 SCT110 FM292100 20008KT P6SM VCTS FEW090CB SCT110 TEMPO 2921/2924 VRB20G35KT -TSRA FM300200 16008KT P6SM VCSH SCT090 BKN110 FM300900 18004KT P6SM SCT100 SCT200 METAR KASE 291653Z 13010KT 10SM CLR 23/07 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP152 T02280072 METAR KASE 291553Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 20/11 A3034 RMK AO2 SLP153 T02000111 METAR KASE 291453Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/09 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP165 T01560094 51007 METAR KCCU 291715Z AUTO 16010G16KT 140V200 10SM CLR 15/02 A3072 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 291655Z AUTO 16015KT 10SM CLR 15/03 A3071 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 291635Z AUTO 14012G16KT 10SM SCT090 15/02 A3071 RMK AO2 METAR KLXV 291653Z AUTO 22007KT 10SM FEW080 BKN100 13/07 A3056 RMK AO2 SLP190 T01330067 METAR KLXV 291553Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC090 12/07 A3056 RMK AO2 SLP194 T01170067 METAR KLXV 291453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC090 11/07 A3053 RMK AO2 SLP178 T01060072 53013 Sunrise/Sunset for 06/29/2024 Rangely - 05:49:13 MDT / 20:48:19 MDT Grand Junction - 05:51:30 MDT / 20:44:14 MDT Steamboat Springs - 05:40:07 MDT / 20:41:46 MDT Grand Junction (KGJX) 06/29/24 17:20 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 14000 FT MSL...260/015 11000 FT MSL...210/008 10400 FT MSL...153/010 10100 FT MSL...148/010 Grand Junction Aviation Discussion Issued at 1725 UTC Saturday, June 29, 2024 .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...

A light southerly wind is forecast through much of the morning hours with potential for briefly breezy southerly winds late morning. A northwest wind shift is expected early to mid afternoon. Overnight, look for gusty southerly winds with gusts at or exceeding 20 knots. .REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Across much of Utah today, smoke or haze from wildfires from the west may reduce visibilities at area terminals. Early this morning, easterly winds are forecast for LGU and OGD bringing some gusty conditions. Conditions are expected to shift more southwesterly by early this afternoon. Elsewhere, diurnal wind shifts are forecast today. VFR conditions are forecast except where isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible across eastern Utah this afternoon.

Issued at 512 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Stratus is rapidly developing along/in wake of a passing cold front with mainly MVFR ceilings being seen with some isolated IFR especially on the western portion of the area. Some patchy fog is also possible due to the recently saturated boundary layer; although some uncertainty on coverage of fog due to dew point depressions in excess of 5 degrees in spots and and wind around 10 knots. Stratus will end north to south throughout the morning along with the wind slowly becoming more easterly. The cold front will retreat north tonight as a warm front bringing storm potential back, some dry air may be in place across KGLD so will leave VCTS for now. A little more doubt in the northern extent of the storms tonight so will leave KMCK dry for now. Strong signal for stratus returning towards the end or just after the end of this TAF period. Dodge City Aviation Discussion Issued at 1600 UTC Saturday, June 29, 2024 .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 1111 AM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Think that Colorado storms will mainly stay across the Colorado border this evening. Attention then turns to the overnight period. WAA/elevated showers and storms are expected across the terminals though the overnight. Will include VCTS/CB groups in the TAFs to account for this activity. Locally reduced cigs down to IFR or MVFR will be possible as lower cigs linger through the morning hours. Winds will be NE to E 5-15 kt. * * * * * Texas/Oklahoma * * * * * KGUY 291134Z 2912/3012 05014KT P6SM FEW250 FM291600 06016G26KT P6SM SCT250 FM300300 07014KT P6SM BKN150 PROB30 3003/3006 4SM TSRA OVC090CB FM300600 08011KT 4SM TSRA BKN050CB FM300800 05009KT 6SM -SHRA BKN020 FM301000 05009KT P6SM VCSH BKN015= METAR KGUY 291653Z AUTO 02014G24KT 10SM -RA CLR 28/18 A3011 RMK AO2 PK WND 03028/1600 SLP144 P0000 T02830178 METAR KGUY 291553Z AUTO 04018G26KT 10SM -RA CLR 28/17 A3008 RMK AO2 PK WND 05031/1534 RAB38 SLP131 P0000 T02830167 METAR KGUY 291453Z AUTO 06012G24KT 10SM CLR 26/18 A3006 RMK AO2 PK WND 06027/1354 SLP126 T02610183 53036 KDHT 291134Z 2912/3012 VRB05KT P6SM SCT250 FM291300 02012KT P6SM SCT250 FM291600 04015G25KT P6SM FEW250 FM300000 07013KT P6SM SCT200 PROB30 3000/3006 4SM TSRA OVC090CB FM300900 06007KT P6SM BKN015 METAR KDHT 291653Z AUTO 05024G34KT 10SM CLR 29/17 A3014 RMK AO2 PK WND 05036/1642 SLP139 T02940172 METAR KDHT 291553Z AUTO 03023G34KT 10SM FEW021 27/19 A3012 RMK AO2 PK WND 02034/1513 SLP134 T02670189 SPECI KDHT 291545Z AUTO 03025G34KT 10SM SCT019 26/19 A3012 RMK AO2 PK WND 02034/1513 T02610189 Amarillo (KAMA) 06/29/24 17:20 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 16000 FT MSL...094/011 15000 FT MSL...110/012 14900 FT MSL...111/012 14000 FT MSL...115/012 13000 FT MSL...133/013 12700 FT MSL...137/012 12000 FT MSL...156/013 11000 FT MSL...152/014 10800 FT MSL...148/012 10000 FT MSL...137/009 9300 FT MSL...138/006 9000 FT MSL...145/005 8100 FT MSL...222/006 8000 FT MSL...223/006 7000 FT MSL...220/007 7000 FT MSL...220/007 6200 FT MSL...213/008 6000 FT MSL...221/008 5400 FT MSL...217/008 5000 FT MSL...229/007 4800 FT MSL...223/007 4300 FT MSL...220/010 4000 FT MSL...219/011 4000 FT MSL...211/010 Amarillo Aviation Discussion Issued at 1149 UTC Saturday, June 29, 2024 .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 635 AM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Today, breezy surface winds have engaged at AMA and GUY. Later this morning, AMA will see winds taper off, but DHT and GUY will experience breezy wind from the north after a front moves through. Wind gusts up to 30 kts are possible. By the afternoon, thunderstorm activity will begin near AMA. A PROB30 group is still implemented, but confidence for thunderstorms on top of the terminal has decreased some and will most likely be in the vicinity. Towards the evening hours, thunderstorms are expected to impact the DHT and GUY sites. PROB30 groups are still at play with higher confidence for these terminals to receive flight rule impacts. After midnight, showers and thunderstorms may still continue for GUY. Eventually, lower ceilings are anticipated to settle in after the storms have moved through. MVFR conditions are expected at DHT and GUY through the end of the period.

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 527 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024 A backdoor cold front entering far northeast NM as of sunrise this morning will move south and southwest into eastern New Mexico today, bringing a north to northeasterly wind shift. Air behind the front is rich with Gulf moisture and with upslope flow developing on the east faces of the central mountain chain later today, a notable increase in strong to severe storms is expected this afternoon. Slow moving storms will be capable of torrential rainfall, small hail, gusty and erratic wet downburst winds, and brief reductions to ceilings and visibility. The highest threat for strong storms producing torrential rainfall is just east of the central mountain chain from the Estancia Valley north to Raton including KLVS and KRTN. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue mainly over the northern third of the state overnight. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 291200Z VALID 291800Z FOR USE 1700-2100Z.
