Issued at 1151 AM MDT Sun Jun 16 2024 VFR through the TAF period. Winds have settled on a north/northeast direction and should gradually turn more easterly as a Denver Cyclone develops. Eventually this cyclone should lift to the east of the terminals, with a turn to more of a westerly component later this evening. Drainage flow will be slow to develop tonight. Another boundary is expected to setup somewhere near or north of the terminals by late tomorrow morning. Difficult to say where this will be, especially after today`s boundary was significantly stronger than originally forecast. For now expect gusty southwesterly winds to develop at APA/DEN close to 18z Monday. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 162155Z AUTO 16014G24KT 10SM SCT090 BKN110 21/M06 A3030 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 162135Z AUTO 17011G20KT 10SM BKN090 BKN110 21/M05 A3031 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 162115Z AUTO 15006KT 10SM BKN090 BKN120 20/M05 A3032 RMK AO2 SPECI KAFF 162156Z AUTO 21016G23KT 10SM SCT140 34/M09 A2982 RMK AO2 WSHFT 53 SLP991 METAR KAFF 162155Z AUTO 19013KT 10SM SCT140 33/M07 A2982 RMK AO2 PK WND 20031/08 SLP991 T03301074 SPECI KAFF 162138Z AUTO 19015G23KT 10SM SCT140 SCT210 33/M07 A2983 RMK AO2 WSHFT 31 SLP995 KCOS 162032Z 1621/1718 20016G26KT P6SM SCT120 BKN250 FM170200 25012KT P6SM FEW120 FM170500 36007KT P6SM SKC FM171600 19012KT P6SM SKC METAR KCOS 162154Z 19012G31KT 10SM FEW140 34/03 A2983 RMK AO2 PK WND 18032/2058 SLP993 T03390033 $ METAR KCOS 162054Z 18015G25KT 10SM FEW140 34/03 A2984 RMK AO2 PK WND 17031/2023 SLP999 T03390033 58020 $ METAR KCOS 161954Z 19014G28KT 10SM FEW140 33/03 A2987 RMK AO2 PK WND 17028/1951 WSHFT 1925 SLP012 T03280033 $ SPECI KABH 162201Z AUTO 19011G20KT 10SM FEW130 35/M02 A2982 RMK AO2 WSHFT 2156 SLP008 METAR KABH 162155Z AUTO 24014G23KT 10SM FEW130 35/M01 A2983 RMK AO2 SLP009 T03471014 SPECI KABH 162146Z AUTO 22013G24KT 10SM FEW130 35/M03 A2983 RMK AO2 WSHFT 39 SLP009 METAR KFLY 162155Z AUTO 17019G29KT 10SM CLR 32/00 A2990 RMK AO2 T03190002 METAR KFLY 162135Z AUTO 18019G27KT 10SM CLR 32/01 A2991 RMK AO2 T03200005 METAR KFLY 162115Z AUTO 16016G22KT 10SM CLR 32/01 A2992 RMK AO2 T03230009 METAR KFCS 162155Z AUTO 22013G21KT 10SM CLR 34/M08 A2976 RMK AO2 SLP994 T03441084 $ SPECI KFCS 162123Z AUTO 17016G22KT 10SM CLR 35/M08 A2977 RMK AO2 WSHFT 14 SLP994 $ SPECI KFCS 162107Z AUTO 21014G21KT 10SM CLR 35/M06 A2978 RMK AO2 WSHFT 2056 SLP998 $ KPUB 162032Z 1621/1718 21017G27KT P6SM FEW120 FM170200 26012KT P6SM SCT200 FM170600 VRB04KT P6SM FEW200 METAR KPUB 162153Z 20009KT 10SM CLR 37/00 A2969 RMK AO2 SLP977 T03720000 METAR KPUB 162053Z 19011G18KT 10SM CLR 37/02 A2971 RMK AO2 SLP982 T03720017 56027 METAR KPUB 161953Z 24010G16KT 10SM CLR 37/02 A2974 RMK AO2 SLP992 T03670017 METAR KVTP 162155Z AUTO 27008G17KT 10SM CLR 21/M05 A3034 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 162135Z AUTO 26008G15KT 230V290 10SM CLR 22/M05 A3034 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 162115Z AUTO 26012G20KT 10SM CLR 21/M05 A3034 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 162154Z AUTO 18015G30KT 10SM CLR 35/01 A2980 RMK AO2 PK WND 17039/2113 SLP998 T03500011 $ METAR KTAD 162054Z AUTO 17017G28KT 10SM CLR 35/01 A2982 RMK AO2 PK WND 17034/2021 SLP002 T03500011 58024 $ METAR KTAD 161954Z AUTO 17021G32KT 10SM CLR 36/01 A2985 RMK AO2 PK WND 17032/1950 SLP011 T03560011 $ METAR KLHX 162153Z AUTO 10SM CLR 38/03 A2968 RMK AO2 SLP974 T03780028 METAR KLHX 162053Z AUTO 10SM CLR 37/02 A2971 RMK AO2 SLP984 T03720022 58028 METAR KLHX 161953Z AUTO 14007G19KT 10SM CLR 37/01 A2974 RMK AO2 SLP996 T03670011 METAR KLAA 162153Z AUTO 12013G22KT 10SM CLR 39/04 A2964 RMK AO2 SLP969 T03940039 METAR KLAA 162053Z AUTO 10SM CLR 38/07 A2967 RMK AO2 SLP979 T03830072 58029 METAR KLAA 161953Z AUTO 13005KT 10SM CLR 38/08 A2970 RMK AO2 SLP991 T03830078 Sunrise/Sunset for 06/16/2024 Burlington - 05:22:02 MDT / 20:17:56 MDT Pueblo - 05:34:42 MDT / 20:24:03 MDT Lamar - 05:27:14 MDT / 20:15:29 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 06/16/24 21:59 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 22000 FT MSL...226/027 21000 FT MSL...221/027 20000 FT MSL...217/025 19000 FT MSL...217/025 18000 FT MSL...215/020 17000 FT MSL...214/016 16000 FT MSL...210/021 15000 FT MSL...207/022 14200 FT MSL...202/022 14000 FT MSL...208/023 13000 FT MSL...206/021 12400 FT MSL...203/022 12000 FT MSL...208/022 11000 FT MSL...206/022 10900 FT MSL...203/021 10000 FT MSL...206/021 9700 FT MSL...203/020 9000 FT MSL...204/019 8700 FT MSL...203/019 8000 FT MSL...204/018 7800 FT MSL...204/018 7100 FT MSL...205/017 7000 FT MSL...202/018 6400 FT MSL...207/016 6000 FT MSL...201/016 5900 FT MSL...198/016 5700 FT MSL...198/016 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 2029 UTC Sunday, June 16, 2024 .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...

PUB will likely be light and variable or become more east southeast for a couple of hours, before shifting to the south southwest by mid afternoon. * * * * * Northwest Colorado * * * * * METAR KCAG 162153Z AUTO 22014G30KT 10SM CLR 31/M03 A2982 RMK AO2 PK WND 23030/2144 SLP018 T03111028 METAR KCAG 162053Z AUTO 27012KT 10SM CLR 31/02 A2984 RMK AO2 SLP023 T03110022 58026 METAR KCAG 161953Z AUTO VRB05KT 10SM CLR 28/01 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP038 T02780011 METAR KHDN 162156Z AUTO 25018G24KT 10SM FEW120 29/00 A2986 RMK AO2 SLP025 T02890000 METAR KHDN 162056Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 26/02 A2989 RMK AO2 SLP037 T02610017 58022 METAR KHDN 161956Z AUTO VRB04KT 10SM CLR 26/02 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP043 T02560017 METAR KSBS 162155Z AUTO 17004KT 10SM CLR 27/01 A2988 RMK AO1 T02690012 METAR KSBS 162135Z AUTO 27008KT 10SM CLR 27/02 A2988 RMK AO1 T02670020 METAR KSBS 162115Z AUTO 25005KT 10SM CLR 27/02 A2989 RMK AO1 T02700022 METAR KC07 162155Z AUTO 30007KT 230V320 10SM SCT095 18/01 A3020 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 162135Z AUTO 28004KT 10SM SCT095 17/00 A3021 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 162115Z AUTO 27005KT 10SM SCT095 17/01 A3021 RMK AO2 METAR KEEO 162153Z AUTO 21017G27KT 10SM CLR 30/M03 A2984 RMK AO2 PK WND 19033/2115 SLP017 T03001033 $ METAR KEEO 162053Z AUTO 20015G27KT 10SM CLR 29/M03 A2985 RMK AO2 PK WND 23033/2038 SLP018 T02941033 56015 $ METAR KEEO 161953Z AUTO 23021G30KT 10SM CLR 31/M06 A2987 RMK AO2 PK WND 23034/1940 SLP020 T03061061 $ METAR K20V 162155Z AUTO 22022G27KT 10SM CLR 28/M02 A2994 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 162135Z AUTO 23018G32KT 10SM CLR 28/M02 A2996 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 162115Z AUTO 24019G27KT 10SM CLR 28/M02 A2995 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 162155Z AUTO 28016G21KT 10SM CLR A2999 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 162135Z AUTO 27017G26KT 10SM CLR A3000 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 162115Z AUTO 27016G25KT 10SM CLR A3000 RMK AO2 METAR K0CO 162155Z AUTO 24013G27KT SCT100 14/M08 A3038 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 162135Z AUTO 24010G20KT 201V271 SCT100 14/M07 A3038 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 162115Z AUTO 26019G29KT CLR 15/M07 A3037 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR KC99 162156Z AUTO 15006KT 10SM SCT120 16/06 A3024 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 162116Z AUTO 15005KT 10SM SCT075 SCT090 SCT110 18/05 A3024 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 162052Z AUTO 15007KT 10SM SCT110 20/01 A3024 RMK AO2 KGJT 161728Z 1618/1718 24011G20KT P6SM SKC FM162100 22016G28KT P6SM SKC FM170500 19009KT P6SM FEW200 FM171200 12009KT P6SM SKC FM171600 18014KT P6SM SKC METAR KGJT 162153Z 21009G20KT 10SM CLR 36/M08 A2970 RMK AO2 WSHFT 2040 SLP969 T03611078 SPECI KGJT 162100Z 25010G19KT 10SM CLR 36/M08 A2972 RMK AO2 WSHFT 2040 T03561083 METAR KGJT 162053Z 23012G20KT 10SM CLR 36/M08 A2973 RMK AO2 PK WND 25029/2013 WSHFT 2037 SLP976 T03611078 58022 KRIL 161728Z 1618/1718 25012G22KT P6SM SKC FM162300 23018G33KT P6SM FEW150 FM170300 20011G21KT P6SM FEW150 FM170600 36006KT P6SM FEW150 FEW250 FM171700 22013G23KT P6SM FEW150 FEW250 METAR KRIL 162153Z AUTO 25017G28KT 10SM CLR 34/M06 A2976 RMK AO2 PK WND 25030/2102 SLP996 T03441056 METAR KRIL 162053Z AUTO 20011G26KT 10SM CLR 33/M05 A2978 RMK AO2 PK WND 20036/2005 WSHFT 2026 SLP001 T03331050 56020 SPECI KRIL 162046Z AUTO 20020G31KT 10SM CLR 34/M04 A2979 RMK AO2 PK WND 20036/2005 WSHFT 2026 T03441044 METAR K5SM 162155Z AUTO 22016G26KT 10SM CLR 21/M05 A3024 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 162135Z AUTO 21010G21KT 170V270 10SM CLR 21/M05 A3025 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 162115Z AUTO 22014G22KT 10SM SCT095 21/M03 A3025 RMK AO2 KEGE 161825Z 1618/1718 22016G25KT P6SM FEW140 FM170500 27009KT P6SM SKC WS020/23030KT FM171500 21008KT P6SM SKC FM171700 22014G23KT P6SM FEW130 FEW250 METAR KEGE 162156Z 22019G24KT 10SM CLR 31/M04 A2988 RMK AO2 PK WND 23031/2112 SLP037 T03061039 METAR KEGE 162056Z 22025G34KT 10SM CLR 30/M04 A2990 RMK AO2 PK WND 23034/2049 WSHFT 1958 SLP042 T03001044 56013 SPECI KEGE 162023Z 23020G28KT 10SM CLR 30/M06 A2991 RMK AO2 PK WND 22028/2017 WSHFT 1958 KASE 161825Z 1618/1718 25010G23KT P6SM FEW140 FM170200 19009KT P6SM SKC FM170500 16006KT P6SM SKC WS020/23030KT FM171500 21007KT P6SM FEW140 FEW250 METAR KASE 162153Z VRB04G23KT 10SM CLR 27/M04 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP018 T02671044 METAR KASE 162053Z 20013G20KT 160V220 10SM CLR 27/M04 A3000 RMK AO2 PK WND 23029/2039 SLP020 T02671044 58011 METAR KASE 161953Z 24013G20KT 10SM CLR 26/M06 A3001 RMK AO2 PK WND 17027/1854 WSHFT 1841 SLP027 T02611056 METAR KCCU 162155Z AUTO 23013G23KT 170V250 10SM SCT100 18/M10 A3035 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 162135Z AUTO 15010G20KT 130V190 10SM CLR 18/M11 A3036 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 162115Z AUTO 22006G17KT 190V260 10SM CLR 18/M08 A3036 RMK AO2 METAR KLXV 162153Z AUTO 23014G28KT 10SM BKN120 24/M07 A3014 RMK AO2 PK WND 26028/2149 WSHFT 2040 SLP019 T02441072 SPECI KLXV 162100Z AUTO 10SM SCT120 22/M08 A3014 RMK AO2 WSHFT 2040 T02221078 METAR KLXV 162053Z AUTO 21013G26KT 10SM FEW120 22/M08 A3015 RMK AO2 PK WND 25032/2029 SLP031 T02221078 58012 Sunrise/Sunset for 06/16/2024 Rangely -

SE winds then persist, with an early switch back NW ~13Z-15Z Mon as a cold front gradually sinks through the region. Tightening gradient will result in increasingly gusty NW winds throughout the daytime, generally in the 25kt to 35kt range. Winds will gradually relax late Monday evening into the overnight hours, with NW direction favored to persist. Precipitation chances low (around 20%), but best chance noted from ~21z Mon to ~03Z Tue. Given high-based nature, any convection would be capable of further gusty and erratic outflow winds. .REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Winds expected to lighten up and largely follow a diurnally normal pattern overnight. From Mon morning on through the afternoon, a cold front will sink southward through N UT and SW WY terminals, reaching S UT terminals by later Mon evening. At northern terminals, NW winds become favored following frontal passage, and gusty conditions set in during the daytime hours (generally in the 25kt to 35kt range). Additionally, a low chance (around 20%) of high-based convection is noted at northern terminals during the afternoon. At southern terminals, gusty SW prefrontal winds develop during the day, with at least some potential noted for patchy smoke related haze to advect in from fires in the SW CONUS. Winds at southern terminals flip N to NW abruptly later Mon evening following frontal passage. * * * * * Wyoming * * * * * KEVW 161723Z 1618/1718 35007KT P6SM SCT150 BKN200 FM161900 24015G26KT P6SM SCT150 SCT250 FM170300 21007KT P6SM FEW150 SCT250 FM171700 25020G30KT P6SM SCT120 BKN150= METAR KEVW 162153Z AUTO 25021G30KT 10SM CLR 23/01 A2992 RMK AO2 PK WND 25032/2103 SLP044 T02330011 METAR KEVW 162053Z AUTO 23018G28KT 10SM CLR 23/M01 A2994 RMK AO2 PK WND 28035/2037 SLP051 T02281006 56019 METAR KEVW 161953Z AUTO 23010G22KT 10SM CLR 22/01 A2996 RMK AO2 SLP055 T02220011 KRKS 161723Z 1618/1718 26008KT P6SM FEW150 BKN200 FM161900 27012G20KT P6SM FEW090 SCT150 FM170300 VRB05KT P6SM BKN150 FM171500 23010KT P6SM BKN150 METAR KRKS 162154Z AUTO 27011KT 10SM CLR 25/M01 A2989 RMK AO2 SLP035 T02501006 METAR KRKS 162054Z AUTO 31008G18KT 10SM CLR 24/M01 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP043 T02391011 58019 METAR KRKS 161954Z AUTO VRB04KT 10SM CLR 22/M02 A2994 RMK AO2 SLP052 T02221022 KRWL 161739Z 1618/1718 25010KT P6SM SKC FM162100 24025G35KT P6SM SCT150 FM170200 32008KT P6SM BKN150 FM171200 20008KT P6SM SCT250 METAR KRWL 162153Z AUTO 23014G22KT 10SM FEW110 27/M02 A2990 RMK AO2 PK WND 18026/2130 WSHFT 2124 SLP021 T02671017 SPECI KRWL 162144Z AUTO 26010G22KT 10SM CLR 27/M02 A2989 RMK AO2 PK WND 18026/2130 WSHFT 2124 T02671017 METAR KRWL 162053Z AUTO 20013G24KT 10SM CLR 27/M02 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP029 T02671017 56015 KLAR 162159Z 1622/1718 26022G36KT P6SM SCT120 FM170200 15018G25KT P6SM SCT120 FM170500 16010KT P6SM SCT005 BKN120 FM171200 16012KT P6SM SCT120 METAR KLAR 162153Z AUTO 26021G36KT 10SM CLR 30/M03 A2989 RMK AO2 PK WND 26042/2121 SLP997 T03001028 METAR KLAR 162053Z AUTO 26021G38KT 10SM CLR 29/M03 A2990 RMK AO2 PK WND 23040/1956 SLP000 T02941033 56015 METAR KLAR 161953Z AUTO 22030G44KT 10SM FEW120 31/M03 A2990 RMK AO2 PK WND 22044/1953 SLP998 T03111028 KCYS 162159Z 1622/1718 12011G22KT P6SM SCT070 FM170200 12008KT P6SM SCT080 FM170900 03010KT P6SM BKN012 FM171300 07005KT P6SM BKN025 FM171500 16012KT P6SM SCT025 METAR KCYS 162153Z 12011G21KT 10SM CLR 24/08 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP033 T02390083 METAR KCYS 162053Z 14010KT 10SM CLR 24/07 A2989 RMK AO2 SLP038 T02390067 56014 METAR KCYS 161953Z 14008KT 10SM CLR 23/05 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP043 T02330050 Riverton (KRIW) 06/16/24 21:57 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 24000 FT MSL...238/053 22000 FT MSL...247/044 20000 FT MSL...241/059 19000 FT MSL...242/056 18000 FT MSL...240/056 17000 FT MSL...242/056 16000 FT MSL...231/051 15000 FT MSL...238/049 14000 FT MSL...225/046 13000 FT MSL...238/042 12000 FT MSL...234/038 10000 FT MSL...236/028 8200 FT MSL...248/009 8000 FT MSL...230/009 7400 FT MSL...283/011 7000 FT MSL...323/009 6700 FT MSL...295/011 6200 FT MSL...312/012 6000 FT MSL...311/011 6000 FT MSL...309/010 Cheyenne (KCYS) 06/16/24 21:57 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 26000 FT MSL...264/035 25000 FT MSL...244/039 24000 FT MSL...246/039 23000 FT MSL...241/041 22000 FT MSL...239/041 21000 FT MSL...240/040 20000 FT MSL...238/039 19000 FT MSL...239/038 18000 FT MSL...240/036 17300 FT MSL...243/035 17000 FT MSL...245/034 16000 FT MSL...254/032 13000 FT MSL...232/014 12000 FT MSL...229/017 11700 FT MSL...215/019 11000 FT MSL...196/021 10500 FT MSL...187/018 10000 FT MSL...173/016 9500 FT MSL...151/016 9000 FT MSL...138/015 8600 FT MSL...138/016 8000 FT MSL...135/015 7900 FT MSL...135/016 7300 FT MSL...126/017 7000 FT MSL...131/015 6700 FT MSL...129/015 6500 FT MSL...135/014 Riverton Aviation Discussion Issued at 2200 UTC Sunday, June 16, 2024 .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 400 PM MDT Sun Jun 16 2024 Mostly VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. Breezy winds will diminish by 02 to 04Z this evening. Cloud cover will increase Monday morning the period as a cold front approaches the region. Ahead of this cold front, southwest winds will also begin to increase. The cold front will begin to move into the west by around 18Z Monday, with rain showers and MVFR conditions expected to occur at KJAC around 18Z. KJAC may see IFR conditions (30% chance) by later in the afternoon. KCOD may also see rain showers late in the period, but hi-res models are still seeing inconsistencies in timing of the heavier precipitation with the cold front. Have included MVFR with -RA at 20Z for now, but only 40% confidence in MFR conditions at this time. There is a less than 25% chance of showers at all other terminals. With the frontal passage, winds will also continue to increase. Gusts 30 to 40kts will be possible at KCPR and KRKS, as well as 20% chance of gusts exceeding 30kts at KBPI, KPNA, KLND, and KRIW through the afternoon. Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence forecasts. Cheyenne Aviation Discussion Issued at 2146 UTC Sunday, June 16, 2024 .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1140 AM MDT Sun Jun 16 2024 Man concern with this TAF issuance is the convection potential this evening and overnight. Latest satellite loop was showing mainly clear skies over the majority of the TAF sites. Latest obs/radar data was showing the frontal boundary that passed through earlier this morning was now near the Palmer Divide in eastern Colorado. This front packed quite a punch today with cooler air filtering into areas east of the I-25 corridor. The short range models are showing an abrupt wind shift to the east this afternoon, but based on the latest trends we did delays this shift a couple of hours from the previous forecast. Later this afternoon and early evening, we should begin to see a decent surge of moisture back into KCYS/KSNY by 02z or so with this moisture surge continuing into the remainder of the Panhandle TAF sites by 06z. Depending on the strength of this surge and any forcing that occurs we may see a rogue thunderstorm or two. However, confidence in this occurring remains rather low. Regardless, the cap will remain in place with the potential for MVFR ceilings developing overnight across most TAF sites along and east of the I-25 corridor. * * * * * Nebraska * * * * * METAR KIBM 162155Z AUTO 09012KT 10SM CLR 26/12 A2984 RMK AO2 T02620117 METAR KIBM 162135Z AUTO 09012G17KT 10SM CLR 25/11 A2984 RMK AO2 T02540114 METAR KIBM 162115Z AUTO 10008KT 10SM CLR 26/12 A2985 RMK AO2 T02550115 KSNY 161739Z 1618/1718 04010KT P6SM SKC FM162200 10015G25KT P6SM FEW200 FM170300 06011KT P6SM BKN150 FM171000 02010KT P6SM SCT005 OVC012 FM171600 03010KT P6SM OVC025 METAR KSNY 162153Z AUTO 10011G23KT 10SM CLR 27/11 A2979 RMK AO2 SLP036 T02720111 METAR KSNY 162053Z AUTO 08012KT 10SM CLR 26/11 A2981 RMK AO2 SLP044 T02610106 58014 METAR KSNY 161953Z AUTO 11011G16KT 10SM CLR 25/10 A2983 RMK AO2 SLP051 T02500100 METAR KOGA 162155Z AUTO 07011G16KT 10SM CLR 29/15 A2977 RMK AO2 T02900154 METAR KOGA 162135Z AUTO 09013KT 10SM CLR 29/15 A2977 RMK AO2 T02890149 METAR KOGA 162115Z AUTO 11011KT 10SM CLR 29/15 A2978 RMK AO2 T02890148 METAR KIML 162153Z AUTO 08016KT 10SM CLR 32/17 A2971 RMK AO2 SLP020 T03170167 METAR KIML 162053Z AUTO 12013G21KT 10SM CLR 31/16 A2973 RMK AO2 SLP030 T03110156 58018 METAR KIML 161953Z AUTO 09008G17KT 10SM CLR 30/13 A2977 RMK AO2 SLP043 T03000133 KMCK 161756Z 1618/1718 06013G21KT P6SM SKC FM162200 15012KT P6SM FEW110 FM170100 15014G24KT P6SM VCTS SCT100CB FM170500 17015G25KT P6SM FEW110 WS020/18050KT FM171500 21019G27KT P6SM FEW250 WS020/19045KT METAR KMCK 162153Z AUTO 14014KT 10SM -RA CLR A2966 RMK AO2 SLPNO P0000 $ METAR KMCK 162053Z AUTO 10010G17KT 10SM -RA CLR A2969 RMK AO2 SLPNO P0000 60000 58019 $ METAR KMCK 161953Z AUTO 09008KT 10SM -RA CLR A2971 RMK AO2 SLPNO P0000 $ North Platte (KLNX) 06/16/24 21:57 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 13000 FT MSL...208/041 12000 FT MSL...207/039 12000 FT MSL...210/039 11000 FT MSL...202/038 10100 FT MSL...199/036 10000 FT MSL...198/036 9000 FT MSL...198/032 8600 FT MSL...197/029 8000 FT MSL...189/023 7400 FT MSL...178/019 7000 FT MSL...161/015 6400 FT MSL...125/009 6000 FT MSL...081/009 5500 FT MSL...063/010 5000 FT MSL...054/010 4700 FT MSL...054/010 4100 FT MSL...056/010 4000 FT MSL...057/010 3600 FT MSL...051/011 3400 FT MSL...051/011 North Platte Aviation Discussion Issued at 2031 UTC Sunday, June 16, 2024 .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...

Otherwise, expect widespread VFR to continue overnight. Southerly winds around 15 to 25kt with gusts up to 30kt are expected to persist throughout much of the period as a strong lee side trough of low pressure remains anchored in extreme southeast Colorado. * * * * * Texas/Oklahoma * * * * * KGUY 161720Z 1618/1718 20016G25KT P6SM SKC FM162000 19019G29KT P6SM SKC FM162200 18020G32KT P6SM VCSH BKN100 FM170300 16019G29KT P6SM SCT250 FM171000 19017G27KT P6SM SCT220= METAR KGUY 162153Z AUTO 19020G28KT 10SM CLR 35/18 A2970 RMK AO2 PK WND 16031/2140 LTG DSNT NW SLP000 T03500178 METAR KGUY 162053Z AUTO 18016G29KT 10SM CLR 36/18 A2972 RMK AO2 PK WND 19029/2049 SLP005 T03560183 58019 METAR KGUY 161953Z AUTO 19017G25KT 10SM CLR 36/19 A2974 RMK AO2 PK WND 18029/1911 SLP011 T03610189 KDHT 161720Z 1618/1718 21014G22KT P6SM SKC FM162100 19015G25KT P6SM SKC FM162300 17018G28KT P6SM VCSH BKN100 FM170200 15017G27KT P6SM FEW250 FM170800 18016KT P6SM FEW240 METAR KDHT 162153Z AUTO 18021G31KT 10SM CLR 37/17 A2977 RMK AO2 PK WND 20034/2134 SLP012 T03670167 $ METAR KDHT 162053Z AUTO 19022G31KT 10SM CLR 37/16 A2979 RMK AO2 PK WND 18031/2052 SLP015 T03670156 58022 $ METAR KDHT 161953Z AUTO 20017G26KT 10SM CLR 36/16 A2982 RMK AO2 PK WND 18026/1855 SLP024 T03560161 $ Amarillo (KAMA) 06/16/24 22:03 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 10000 FT MSL...181/022 9200 FT MSL...181/022 9000 FT MSL...179/022 8000 FT MSL...175/026 8000 FT MSL...175/025 7000 FT MSL...174/027 7000 FT MSL...174/027 6200 FT MSL...171/027 6000 FT MSL...169/027 5400 FT MSL...167/027 5000 FT MSL...169/026 4800 FT MSL...166/026 4300 FT MSL...166/028 4000 FT MSL...166/028 4000 FT MSL...166/027 Amarillo Aviation Discussion Issued at 2027 UTC Sunday, June 16, 2024 .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1219 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024 Surfaces winds will likely remain breezy to gust for most of the afternoon and evening thanks to a lee-side surface low off the southern portions of the Front Ranges. Look for speeds to be in the 20 to 25 mph range with gust nearing 35 mph at times. Low chances at thunderstorms still exist this afternoon with KDHT and KGUY still having the better chances of seeing impacts. However, latest models runs are still not to enthusiastic about the possibility with some only giving a 15 to 20% chance at an isolated storm. Have left the vicinity showers present in the TAF package for now, given that confidence is not high enough for anything else. Otherwise, VFR conditions should hold outside of any storm interference. * * * * * New Mexico * * * * * KFMN 161721Z 1618/1718 08006KT P6SM SKC FM162000 24013G23KT P6SM SKC FM170200 26011KT P6SM SKC FM170600 VRB06KT P6SM SKC METAR KFMN 162153Z 19010G25KT 170V240 10SM CLR 35/M11 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP047 T03501106 $ METAR KFMN 162053Z 23016G25KT 10SM CLR 36/M11 A2989 RMK AO2 PK WND 26032/2032 SLP055 T03561111 $ METAR KFMN 161953Z 28015G21KT 10SM CLR 34/M10 RMK AO2 SLPNO T03441100 $ METAR KSKX 162156Z AUTO 22014G19KT 10SM CLR 31/M02 A2999 RMK AO2 SLP071 T03111022 METAR KSKX 162056Z AUTO 25008G16KT 10SM CLR 31/M03 A3002 RMK AO2 SLP086 T03061028 58020 METAR KSKX 161956Z AUTO 22007G19KT 10SM CLR 31/M04 A3005 RMK AO2 PK WND 24030/1904 SLP093 T03061039 KLVS 161721Z 1618/1718 17011KT P6SM SKC FM161900 20015G25KT P6SM SCT150 FM170200 17013KT P6SM SCT150 FM170900 VRB06KT P6SM SKC METAR KLVS 162153Z AUTO 20021G30KT 10SM CLR 31/04 A2998 RMK AO2 PK WND 19035/2141 SLP035 T03110044 METAR KLVS 162053Z AUTO 19019G29KT 10SM CLR 31/07 A3001 RMK AO2 PK WND 18031/2002 SLP032 T03060067 57014 METAR KLVS 161953Z AUTO 19015G24KT 10SM CLR 28/03 A3002 RMK AO2 PK WND 20033/1859 SLP043 T02830033 METAR KRTN 162153Z AUTO 19010KT 10SM CLR 33/03 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP016 T03280033 METAR KRTN 162053Z AUTO 20006G17KT 10SM CLR 33/02 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP025 T03280022 56024 METAR KRTN 161953Z AUTO 18007KT 10SM CLR 32/02 A2993 RMK AO2 PK WND 19027/1915 SLP032 T03170022 METAR KCAO 162155Z AUTO 18022G29KT 10SM FEW110 34/09 A2982 RMK AO2 PK WND 19033/2110 SLP015 T03440094 $ METAR KCAO 162055Z AUTO 19017G26KT 10SM CLR 34/07 A2983 RMK AO2 PK WND 17031/2005 SLP018 T03440067 56019 $ METAR KCAO 161955Z AUTO 19013G28KT 10SM CLR 36/00 A2985 RMK AO2 PK WND 18028/1950 SLP024 T03560000 $ Albuquerque (KABX) 06/16/24 21:56 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 19000 FT MSL...262/009 18000 FT MSL...280/005 17100 FT MSL...280/006 17000 FT MSL...278/007 16000 FT MSL...234/008 15000 FT MSL...257/009 14800 FT MSL...258/009 14000 FT MSL...236/012 13000 FT MSL...236/011 13000 FT MSL...241/014 12000 FT MSL...217/013 11500 FT MSL...238/014 11000 FT MSL...230/013 10300 FT MSL...229/011 10000 FT MSL...207/012 9300 FT MSL...237/013 9000 FT MSL...224/014 8400 FT MSL...221/009 8000 FT MSL...226/011 7700 FT MSL...213/009 7000 FT MSL...221/010 7000 FT MSL...219/009 6500 FT MSL...188/009 6300 FT MSL...190/009 Albuquerque Aviation Discussion Issued at 2055 UTC Sunday, June 16, 2024 .AVIATION...

Peak gusts of 15 to 25 kts can be expected. The exception will be near isolated thunderstorms developing along a dryline feature banked up N-S along the TX border late today near the 22Z to 03Z timeframe. Frequent lightning, hail, and erratic and severe wind gusts will accompany these thunderstorms as they move into TX. Although not mentioned in the KTCC TAF due to low coverage and confidence of even a vicinity mention, there is a low chance for some impacts from a thunderstorm at KTCC today however unlikely. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 161200Z VALID 161800Z FOR USE 1700-2100Z.
