.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday/...
Issued at 1128 AM MDT Wed Jun 26 2024
VFR conditions expected through Thursday. Thunderstorms are
expected to develop across the high country after 12 PM, and then
move east. There is uncertainty about how well the storms can stay
together across metro Denver and out to DIA. There are enough
ingredients in place for severe storms east of DIA, but storms
will be less intense if they move over any of the terminals this
afternoon. Given the expected spottiness of the storms, TEMPO
groups seem to be the best way to handle the potential of -TSRA.
Showers and storms should clear the terminals by 7 PM. Gusty
winds to 35 or maybe 40 kts are possible with the strongest storms
this afternoon/evening.
In the wake of the showers/storms, southeast winds may briefly gust
over 25 kts, but by midnight drainage winds at the terminals
should take over (SSW DEN and APA 8-12 kts, WNW at BJC 5-8 kts).
Tomorrow winds should shift to the north by midday at 10 kts or
less, and there will be another round of thunderstorms that
either impact the terminals (40-50% chance) directly or generate
gust fronts that result in winds shifts and gusty winds.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 353 AM MDT Wed Jun 26 2024
There is a better chance for TSRA at all three terminals today and
will carry this in a tempo group at all three TAF sites.  Best
chance will be after 23z.  Winds at KCOS and KPUB will shift from
the east to southeast this afternoon at 10-20 kts before
thunderstorm outflows dominate winds during the late afternoon and
evening.  KALS will see more south to southwesterly winds today
prior to thunderstorm development.  Winds will become light and
variable at KALS overnight but become east to southeasterly at KCOS
and KPUB.  Most areas will stay VFR overnight but will need to
monitor the westward transport of low level moisture into the
mountains as some MVFR to IFR stratus could develop for KCOS and
KPUB with upslope flow if sufficient moisture return occurs. -KT

.AVIATION...Wednesday 26/12Z through Thursday 27/12Z...
Predominately VFR conditions across the region early this
morning, excluding a small cluster of storms that are approaching
KSEZ from the south. Assuming this cluster sustains itself, it`ll
arrive to KFLG in the next couple hours but shouldn`t persist very
long. Elsewhere high based -SHRA stretches from KCMR to east of
KPGA. That shower activity will continue to diminish. Widely
scattered TS will once again develop across the region after 18Z
and persist until after 00Z. Heavier TS will produce isolated
areas of sub VFR ceilings and visibilities.
OUTLOOK...Thursday 27/12Z through Saturday 29/12Z...Expect mostly
VFR conditions, excluding sub VFR conditions under afternoon TS
that will once again develop Thursday afternoon. Drier weather
returns Friday. Gusty/erratic winds possible near storm
development, with SW winds 10-20 kts expected otherwise.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions will persist for the KSLC terminal
through the period. Some light showers moving in from the southwest
could bring some mid level clouds and breezy variable winds in the
morning. These will transition to afternoon convection that will
pose a threat for gusty and erratic winds, lightning, and heavy rain.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will prevail
across the airspace. Light rain showers across western Utah will
gradually transition east and dissipate. A brief lull in activity
will give way to scattered afternoon convection across most of the
region. These storms will pose a risk for gusty outflow winds,
lightning, and heavy rain.

Shower and thunderstorm chances continue to spread eastward through
the afternoon. All sites have at least a 15% chance to see a shower
or thunderstorm today. Locations with closer to 30% chances have
TEMPO or PROB30 groups in the TAFs. Shower chances will persist
overnight, but will be less than 20% for all terminals (except KRKS)
after 03Z. KRKS has the best chance to see thunderstorms after 03Z.
Then, shower and thunderstorm chances increase again late in the
period. West to southwest winds also increase late Thursday morning
as a shortwave passes through the area.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

VFR conditions will prevail at all terminals through the TAF
period. Winds will slowly shift between ENE and SSE at <20 knots
until near the end of the TAF period. Thunderstorms are
expected through the overnight with exact timing and location
uncertain. Therefore, TAFs include mention of VCTS to account
for this at 7Z at GCK, 8Z at LBL, 9Z at DDC, and 11Z at HYS.
Future updates will hold more precise timings and impact on
terminals.

An active day is on tap with abundant moisture and instability in
place across the region. SHRA/TS will redevelop around the higher
terrain around 11am then drift erratically into nearby highlands
and valleys thru the evening. Direct hits will be capable of brief
IFR from heavy rain, gusty winds, and small hail. A few strong to
severe storms are possible over northeast NM between 1pm and 8pm
as a weak backdoor cold front provides additional lift. Areas of
rain with embedded storms are likely to persist well into tonight
across central NM. This activity will begin to move slowly to the
northeast later this evening.
