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 162055Z AUTO 15012G17KT 10SM BKN090 BKN110 22/M06 A3032 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 162035Z AUTO 16008G18KT 10SM BKN090 21/M06 A3033 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 162015Z AUTO 17013G19KT 10SM SCT100 22/M07 A3033 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 162055Z AUTO 20013G19KT 10SM FEW140 32/M03 A2985 RMK AO2 PK WND 21029/1959 SLP002 T03231032 57020 SPECI KAFF 162016Z AUTO 20014G23KT 10SM FEW140 FEW200 34/M09 A2987 RMK AO2 WSHFT 13 SLP006 SPECI KAFF 162001Z AUTO 22021G29KT 10SM FEW140 FEW190 34/M09 A2987 RMK AO2 WSHFT 1949 SLP006 KCOS 162032Z 1621/1718 20016G26KT P6SM SCT120 BKN250 FM170200 25012KT P6SM FEW120 FM170500 36007KT P6SM SKC FM171600 19012KT P6SM SKC 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 KCOS 161945Z 17019G25KT 10SM FEW140 32/02 A2988 RMK AO2 PK WND 19026/1914 WSHFT 1925 T03170022 $ METAR KABH 162055Z AUTO 23015G26KT 10SM CLR 34/M03 A2985 RMK AO2 PK WND 26026/46 SLP021 T03421032 57021 SPECI KABH 162044Z AUTO 23016G20KT 10SM FEW240 35/M03 A2986 RMK AO2 WSHFT 41 SLP022 SPECI KABH 162028Z AUTO 20015KT 10SM CLR 34/M03 A2987 RMK AO2 WSHFT 22 SLP025 METAR KFLY 162055Z AUTO 18007G23KT 10SM CLR 31/00 A2993 RMK AO2 T03130002 METAR KFLY 162035Z AUTO 22010G23KT 10SM CLR 32/01 A2994 RMK AO2 T03220006 METAR KFLY 162015Z AUTO 18010G22KT 130V210 10SM CLR 32/00 A2994 RMK AO2 T03200001 SPECI KFCS 162051Z AUTO 19016G21KT 10SM FEW150 34/M03 A2978 RMK AO2 WSHFT 43 SLP998 $ METAR KFCS 162055Z AUTO 17014KT 10SM FEW150 35/M04 A2978 RMK AO2 SLP998 T03461045 57022 $ SPECI KFCS 162051Z AUTO 19016G21KT 10SM FEW150 34/M03 A2978 RMK AO2 WSHFT 43 SLP998 $ KPUB 162032Z 1621/1718 21017G27KT P6SM FEW120 FM170200 26012KT P6SM SCT200 FM170600 VRB04KT P6SM FEW200 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 KPUB 161853Z 23008KT 10SM CLR 36/02 A2977 RMK AO2 SLP002 T03610022 METAR KVTP 162055Z AUTO 25007G18KT 210V270 10SM CLR 21/M05 A3035 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 162035Z AUTO 27012G26KT 10SM CLR 21/M05 A3035 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 162015Z AUTO 23011G20KT 10SM CLR 21/M05 A3036 RMK AO2 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 KTAD 161854Z AUTO 17018G27KT 10SM CLR 36/02 A2988 RMK AO2 PK WND 18027/1849 SLP013 T03560017 $ 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 KLHX 161853Z AUTO 18007KT 150V230 10SM CLR 36/06 A2977 RMK AO2 SLP004 T03610056 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 METAR KLAA 161853Z AUTO 23004KT 10SM CLR 36/08 A2974 RMK AO2 SLP005 T03610083 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 20:58 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 21000 FT MSL...222/021 20000 FT MSL...225/022 19300 FT MSL...220/018 19000 FT MSL...217/022 18000 FT MSL...213/021 17000 FT MSL...210/019 16000 FT MSL...205/022 15000 FT MSL...194/021 14200 FT MSL...202/020 14000 FT MSL...205/021 13000 FT MSL...201/021 12400 FT MSL...198/020 12000 FT MSL...199/021 11000 FT MSL...200/020 10900 FT MSL...198/020 10000 FT MSL...195/019 9700 FT MSL...198/019 9000 FT MSL...194/018 8600 FT MSL...197/019 8000 FT MSL...198/019 7800 FT MSL...198/019 7100 FT MSL...196/018 7000 FT MSL...190/017 6400 FT MSL...197/017 6000 FT MSL...187/015 5900 FT MSL...179/014 5700 FT MSL...180/014 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 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 KCAG 161853Z AUTO 32006G16KT 10SM CLR 27/01 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP048 T02720011 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 KHDN 161856Z AUTO 25007KT 10SM CLR 24/03 A2994 RMK AO2 SLP054 T02440028 METAR KSBS 162055Z AUTO 29005KT 10SM CLR 27/03 A2989 RMK AO1 T02670025 METAR KSBS 162035Z AUTO 21007KT 10SM CLR 26/04 A2990 RMK AO1 T02610040 METAR KSBS 162015Z AUTO 26007KT 10SM CLR 26/03 A2991 RMK AO1 T02640030 METAR KC07 162055Z AUTO 24006KT 10SM SCT095 17/00 A3021 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 162035Z AUTO 26005KT 10SM SCT095 17/00 A3021 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 162015Z AUTO 27006KT 10SM SCT095 16/00 A3021 RMK AO2 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 KEEO 161853Z AUTO 23013G22KT 10SM CLR 29/M03 A2989 RMK AO2 SLP023 T02941033 $ METAR K20V 162055Z AUTO 24016G26KT 10SM CLR 28/M01 A2996 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 162035Z AUTO 23011G21KT 10SM CLR 28/M01 A2996 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 162015Z AUTO 22016G23KT 10SM CLR 28/M01 A2997 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 162055Z AUTO 27015G24KT 10SM CLR A3000 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 162035Z AUTO 25015G24KT 10SM CLR A3001 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 162015Z AUTO 26016G23KT 10SM SCT120 A3001 RMK AO2 METAR K0CO 162055Z AUTO 25014G29KT SCT095 14/M07 A3038 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 162035Z AUTO 23010G29KT 181V251 SCT095 14/M07 A3038 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 162015Z AUTO 23016G28KT CLR 13/M07 A3038 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR KC99 162052Z AUTO 15007KT 10SM SCT110 20/01 A3024 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 162032Z AUTO 22006KT 10SM OVC110 18/M07 A3024 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 162014Z AUTO 19004KT 10SM BKN110 18/M08 A3025 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 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 METAR KGJT 161953Z 23022G29KT 10SM CLR 36/M08 A2974 RMK AO2 PK WND 23029/1952 SLP982 T03611078 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 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 KRIL 161953Z AUTO 23016G30KT 10SM CLR 33/M05 A2980 RMK AO2 PK WND 21032/1916 SLP007 T03331050 METAR K5SM 162055Z AUTO 23015G25KT 190V260 10SM SCT095 21/M04 A3026 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 162035Z AUTO 22013G23KT 10SM CLR 22/M04 A3026 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 162017Z AUTO 23014G26KT 10SM CLR 21/M03 A3026 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 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 METAR KEGE 161956Z 18021G35KT 10SM CLR 30/M05 A2991 RMK AO2 PK WND 19035/1953 SLP043 T03001050 KASE 161825Z 1618/1718 25010G23KT P6SM FEW140 FM170200 19009KT P6SM SKC FM170500 16006KT P6SM SKC WS020/23030KT FM171500 21007KT P6SM FEW140 FEW250 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 SPECI KASE 161901Z 18012G27KT 10SM CLR 27/M06 A3003 RMK AO2 PK WND 17027/1854 WSHFT 1841 T02671061 METAR KCCU 162055Z AUTO 18009G22KT 160V220 10SM SCT095 18/M09 A3036 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 162035Z AUTO 19010G24KT 180V250 10SM SCT095 18/M07 A3038 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 162015Z AUTO 18011G21KT 130V220 10SM SCT095 18/M09 A3037 RMK AO2 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 METAR KLXV 161953Z AUTO 28015G27KT 10SM CLR 23/M08 A3017 RMK AO2 PK WND 17036/1854 WSHFT 1905 SLP034 T02281078 Sunrise/Sunset for 06/16/2024 Rangely -

Issued at 1124 AM MDT Sun Jun 16 2024 VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. Several terminals will see a breezy west wind develop between 18Z and 20Z this afternoon, with gusts around 20kts. KCPR may see a southwest wind develop later this afternoon, but models continue to lack confidence in mixing occur to precipitate a SW wind develop. Have included a Tempo group to account for this uncertainty. Winds will diminish after 00Z and remain light overnight. Cloud cover will increase late in the period as a cold front approaches the region. Ahead of this cold front, southwest winds will also begin to increase. 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 1755 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 162055Z AUTO 10011G15KT 10SM CLR 25/11 A2986 RMK AO2 T02490109 METAR KIBM 162035Z AUTO 08007G16KT 10SM CLR 25/10 A2986 RMK AO2 T02490102 METAR KIBM 162015Z AUTO 11008G15KT 070V130 10SM CLR 25/10 A2986 RMK AO2 T02490098 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 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 KSNY 161853Z AUTO 05010KT 10SM CLR 23/09 A2985 RMK AO2 SLP057 T02330089 METAR KOGA 162055Z AUTO 10009G16KT 10SM CLR 28/14 A2978 RMK AO2 T02830143 METAR KOGA 162035Z AUTO 09010KT 10SM CLR 28/14 A2979 RMK AO2 T02820136 METAR KOGA 162015Z AUTO 10013G16KT 10SM CLR 28/14 A2979 RMK AO2 T02810136 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 METAR KIML 161853Z AUTO 04009G16KT 10SM CLR 29/12 A2979 RMK AO2 SLP047 T02940122 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 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 $ METAR KMCK 161853Z AUTO 08012KT 10SM -RA CLR A2974 RMK AO2 SLPNO P0000 $ North Platte (KLNX) 06/16/24 20:56 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 13000 FT MSL...198/044 12000 FT MSL...199/040 12000 FT MSL...201/040 11000 FT MSL...197/038 10100 FT MSL...196/036 10000 FT MSL...196/035 9000 FT MSL...200/031 8600 FT MSL...199/030 8000 FT MSL...196/027 7400 FT MSL...181/017 7000 FT MSL...163/017 6300 FT MSL...125/010 6000 FT MSL...087/009 5500 FT MSL...053/010 5000 FT MSL...050/011 4700 FT MSL...049/011 4100 FT MSL...051/011 4000 FT MSL...053/011 3600 FT MSL...054/012 3400 FT MSL...057/011 North Platte Aviation Discussion Issued at 2031 UTC Sunday, June 16, 2024 .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...

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 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 METAR KGUY 161853Z AUTO 20016G25KT 10SM CLR 34/18 A2976 RMK AO2 PK WND 20029/1841 SLP020 T03440183 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 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 $ METAR KDHT 161853Z AUTO 18015G24KT 10SM CLR 35/16 A2984 RMK AO2 PK WND 19030/1754 SLP033 T03500161 $ Amarillo (KAMA) 06/16/24 21:02 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 10000 FT MSL...191/016 9200 FT MSL...187/020 9000 FT MSL...179/020 8000 FT MSL...177/024 8000 FT MSL...176/024 7000 FT MSL...172/026 7000 FT MSL...172/026 6200 FT MSL...172/025 6000 FT MSL...170/026 5400 FT MSL...172/025 5000 FT MSL...170/026 4800 FT MSL...172/025 4300 FT MSL...169/027 4000 FT MSL...169/027 4000 FT MSL...167/026 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 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 KFMN 161853Z VRB04KT 10SM CLR 32/M09 RMK AO2 SLPNO T03221094 $ 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 METAR KSKX 161856Z AUTO 28008G27KT 10SM CLR 31/M04 A3007 RMK AO2 PK WND 24027/1847 SLP099 T03061039 KLVS 161721Z 1618/1718 17011KT P6SM SKC FM161900 20015G25KT P6SM SCT150 FM170200 17013KT P6SM SCT150 FM170900 VRB06KT P6SM SKC 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 KLVS 161853Z AUTO 19016G30KT 10SM FEW120 30/03 A3004 RMK AO2 PK WND 18030/1846 SLP051 T03000033 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 KRTN 161853Z AUTO 17015G21KT 10SM CLR 32/03 A2995 RMK AO2 SLP039 T03170028 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 $ METAR KCAO 161855Z AUTO 22011G24KT 10SM FEW110 34/06 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP030 T03390056 $ Albuquerque (KABX) 06/16/24 20:59 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 19000 FT MSL...272/010 18000 FT MSL...279/008 17100 FT MSL...270/009 17000 FT MSL...273/016 16000 FT MSL...245/011 15000 FT MSL...251/011 14800 FT MSL...250/011 14000 FT MSL...248/015 13000 FT MSL...242/012 13000 FT MSL...241/013 12000 FT MSL...226/011 11500 FT MSL...232/011 11000 FT MSL...225/013 10300 FT MSL...237/012 10000 FT MSL...238/014 9200 FT MSL...233/012 9000 FT MSL...225/012 8400 FT MSL...227/011 8000 FT MSL...224/011 7700 FT MSL...229/011 7000 FT MSL...238/012 7000 FT MSL...235/011 6500 FT MSL...207/009 6300 FT MSL...214/008 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.
