Issued at 526 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2024 Gusty southwest winds have finally moved through APA and DEN with a cyclone located to the north of DEN. This will continue to bring northwest winds to BJC. Because of the cyclone, believe winds will turn west to northwest 00-01Z. By 04-06, winds will become a southerly drainage direction as the cyclone dissipates. The south winds will be short lived as a cold front pushes through around 08Z bringing northwest winds at first. Winds quickly turn north to northeast behind the front. For Tuesday, easterly winds set in by 18Z with gusts to 25 knots. Scattered showers are expected to form after 21Z. Don`t think the showers will impact DEN much with ceilings stay above 6000 feet. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 180355Z AUTO 15010G27KT 10SM CLR 15/M12 A3011 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 180335Z AUTO 15015G24KT 10SM CLR 15/M12 A3010 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 180315Z AUTO 15016G25KT 10SM CLR 15/M12 A3009 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 180255Z AUTO 18006KT 10SM CLR 26/M12 A2963 RMK AO2 SLP914 T02621124 52010 METAR KAFF 180155Z AUTO 19017KT 10SM CLR 29/M12 A2962 RMK AO2 SLP913 T02911122 KCOS 172322Z 1800/1824 22020G30KT P6SM SKC FM180300 22014G24KT P6SM SKC FM180600 VRB06KT P6SM SKC FM181800 14015G25KT P6SM SCT100 SCT250 METAR KCOS 180354Z 21015KT 10SM CLR 26/M08 A2967 RMK AO2 PK WND 22032/0330 SLP930 T02611083 METAR KCOS 180254Z 22015KT 10SM CLR 27/M08 A2964 RMK AO2 PK WND 22032/0156 SLP922 T02721078 52014 METAR KCOS 180154Z 23023G32KT 10SM FEW100 30/M08 A2962 RMK AO2 PK WND 24032/0154 SLP912 T03001083 METAR KABH 180255Z AUTO 22019KT 10SM CLR 28/M10 A2963 RMK AO2 SLP934 T02761097 52008 METAR KABH 180155Z AUTO 21018KT 10SM CLR 30/M08 A2963 RMK AO2 SLP936 T02961082 METAR KFLY 180355Z AUTO 21014G19KT 10SM CLR 24/M06 A2974 RMK AO2 T02401062 METAR KFLY 180335Z AUTO 20009G15KT 10SM CLR 23/M06 A2973 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT NW T02301060 METAR KFLY 180315Z AUTO 19005KT 10SM CLR 22/M06 A2972 RMK AO2 T02221059 METAR KFCS 180255Z AUTO 20009G15KT 10SM CLR 27/M12 A2958 RMK AO2 SLP928 T02711117 52013 $ METAR KFCS 180155Z AUTO 20014KT 10SM CLR 30/M12 A2956 RMK AO2 SLP917 T02991116 $ KPUB 172322Z 1800/1824 22017G27KT P6SM SKC FM180300 23013G23KT P6SM SKC FM180600 29007KT P6SM SKC FM181800 11013G23KT P6SM SCT150 SCT250 METAR KPUB 180353Z 25018KT 10SM CLR 31/M06 A2955 RMK AO2 PK WND 24028/0327 SLP920 T03111056 $ METAR KPUB 180253Z 23015G22KT 10SM CLR 32/M06 A2953 RMK AO2 PK WND 26029/0212 SLP915 T03171056 53010 $ METAR KPUB 180153Z 23019G28KT 10SM CLR 33/M05 A2951 RMK AO2 PK WND 24028/0149 SLP910 T03331050 $ METAR KVTP 180355Z AUTO 26009G17KT 10SM CLR 15/M10 A3015 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 180335Z AUTO 26012G20KT 10SM CLR 16/M10 A3014 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 180315Z AUTO 26013G21KT 10SM CLR 16/M10 A3013 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 180354Z AUTO 19013KT 10SM CLR 26/M04 A2969 RMK AO2 SLP944 T02561039 METAR KTAD 180254Z AUTO 21011KT 10SM CLR 27/M04 A2967 RMK AO2 SLP940 T02671039 53013 METAR KTAD 180154Z AUTO 22013G23KT 10SM CLR 30/M04 A2966 RMK AO2 PK WND 22029/0101 SLP935 T03001044 METAR KLHX 180353Z AUTO 20015G24KT 10SM CLR 32/M03 A2954 RMK AO2 SLP920 T03171033 METAR KLHX 180253Z AUTO 26006KT 10SM CLR 28/M01 A2950 RMK AO2 SLP914 T02831011 53009 METAR KLHX 180153Z AUTO 23013KT 10SM CLR 33/M01 A2949 RMK AO2 SLP909 T03331006 METAR KLAA 180353Z AUTO 18037G46KT 10SM CLR 31/16 A2950 RMK AO2 PK WND 18049/0334 SLP919 T03110156 METAR KLAA 180253Z AUTO 18024G38KT 10SM CLR 33/M01 A2947 RMK AO2 PK WND 17038/0249 SLP909 T03331011 53013 METAR KLAA 180153Z AUTO 20023G35KT 10SM CLR 36/M04 A2944 RMK AO2 PK WND 19040/0112 SLP900 T03611039 Sunrise/Sunset for 06/17/2024 Burlington - 05:22:09 MDT / 20:18:15 MDT Pueblo - 05:34:49 MDT / 20:24:22 MDT Lamar - 05:27:21 MDT / 20:15:48 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 06/18/24 03:58 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 14300 FT MSL...193/019 13000 FT MSL...228/041 12400 FT MSL...239/041 12000 FT MSL...227/037 11000 FT MSL...234/042 10900 FT MSL...237/037 10000 FT MSL...231/040 9700 FT MSL...232/041 9000 FT MSL...232/039 8600 FT MSL...232/039 8000 FT MSL...231/038 7800 FT MSL...232/038 7100 FT MSL...230/037 7000 FT MSL...231/037 6400 FT MSL...232/035 6000 FT MSL...237/034 5900 FT MSL...237/032 5700 FT MSL...238/027 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 0246 UTC Tuesday, June 18, 2024 .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/...

By around 10Z or so, lighter N winds become more VRB, with VRB to light S drainage flow then expected through mid to late morning Tuesday. NW flow then becomes reestablished by late morning and is maintained thereafter, with skies remaining mostly clear to clear. .REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Cold front to continue southward through the area. Northern terminals likely start in a gusty post-frontal environment, with some low chances (less than 20%) of lingering precipitation. Conditions gradually improve moving into the overnight hours, with winds trending downward and remaining precip and VFR cloud cover mostly clearing. At southern terminals, front will begin pushing through late Mon evening. Precipitation is not expected, but an abrupt shift to gusty N winds is anticipated, with gusts then lingering on into the overnight for several hours. Gusts will begin to subside moving closer to sunrise, with some exception potentially at SGU where threat for a bit prolonged downslope/gap winds are noted (though low confidence in exact magnitude and duration at the terminal). Moving into the day Tuesday, more benign weather conditions expected to set in. * * * * * Wyoming * * * * * KEVW 180149Z 1802/1824 31012G25KT P6SM VCSH SCT040 OVC060 FM180500 25008KT P6SM FEW060 FEW200 FM181000 21006KT P6SM FEW200 FM181800 26009KT P6SM FEW200= METAR KEVW 180353Z AUTO 25013KT 10SM OVC100 03/M06 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP108 T00281061 METAR KEVW 180253Z AUTO 29013G20KT 10SM OVC075 04/M06 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP101 T00441061 51050 METAR KEVW 180153Z AUTO 30013G21KT 10SM OVC060 05/M05 A2998 RMK AO2 PK WND 31027/0113 SLP097 T00501050 KRKS 172331Z 1800/1824 28025G35KT P6SM BKN200 FM180300 29022G35KT P6SM BKN150 FM180800 28014G25KT P6SM BKN150 METAR KRKS 180354Z AUTO 27023G36KT 10SM BKN065 06/M07 A2994 RMK AO2 PK WND 28039/0312 SLP075 T00561067 METAR KRKS 180254Z AUTO 28031G42KT 10SM FEW075 SCT090 BKN110 08/M06 A2990 RMK AO2 PK WND 29043/0238 RAB24E35 PRESRR SLP062 P0000 60000 T00781056 51073 METAR KRKS 180154Z AUTO 29030G39KT 10SM BKN055 BKN065 OVC100 12/M01 A2984 RMK AO2 PK WND 27042/0123 SLP035 T01171011 KRWL 180106Z 1801/1824 28025G40KT P6SM SCT120 FM180300 26032G45KT P6SM BKN080 FM180900 25020G30KT P6SM SCT150 FM181500 25015G25KT P6SM BKN150 METAR KRWL 180353Z AUTO 26028G41KT 10SM -RA FEW100 12/M02 A2979 RMK AO2 PK WND 28048/0321 SLP998 P0000 T01221017 METAR KRWL 180253Z AUTO 25028G36KT 10SM -RA BKN100 BKN120 19/00 A2971 RMK AO2 PK WND 23036/0243 RAB48 SLP962 P0000 60000 T01940000 53039 METAR KRWL 180153Z AUTO 28013G22KT 10SM CLR 22/M01 A2963 RMK AO2 PK WND 25028/0059 SLP934 T02171011 KLAR 172320Z 1800/1824 23028G40KT P6SM SCT080 FM180200 24018G28KT P6SM SCT100 FM180500 30020G32KT P6SM SCT100 FM181500 28015G25KT P6SM BKN100 METAR KLAR 180353Z AUTO 20010KT 10SM CLR 18/M02 A2968 RMK AO2 SLP920 T01781017 METAR KLAR 180253Z AUTO 21011KT 10SM CLR 22/M03 A2966 RMK AO2 SLP913 T02171028 51008 METAR KLAR 180153Z AUTO 22015G23KT 10SM CLR 26/M03 A2965 RMK AO2 PK WND 23029/0055 SLP911 T02561033 KCYS 172320Z 1800/1824 18015G25KT P6SM SCT100 FM180200 23012KT P6SM SCT070 FM180600 32035G45KT P6SM SCT080 FM181000 32025G35KT P6SM SCT100 FM181800 01012KT P6SM BKN100 METAR KCYS 180353Z AUTO 31005KT 10SM CLR 23/11 A2958 RMK AO2 SLP924 T02280106 METAR KCYS 180253Z 29005KT 10SM CLR 24/12 A2957 RMK AO2 SLP921 T02440122 55000 METAR KCYS 180153Z 13006KT 10SM CLR 26/12 A2956 RMK AO2 SLP921 T02610122 Riverton (KRIW) 06/18/24 03:58 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 30000 FT MSL...207/080 28000 FT MSL...209/074 26000 FT MSL...205/074 25000 FT MSL...204/077 24000 FT MSL...207/075 22900 FT MSL...206/076 22000 FT MSL...206/071 20000 FT MSL...207/073 19400 FT MSL...207/069 19000 FT MSL...207/069 18000 FT MSL...212/065 17000 FT MSL...208/062 16800 FT MSL...208/060 16000 FT MSL...208/050 15000 FT MSL...201/044 14000 FT MSL...198/037 13000 FT MSL...211/044 12800 FT MSL...212/044 12000 FT MSL...214/040 11200 FT MSL...230/030 11000 FT MSL...226/032 10000 FT MSL...254/021 10000 FT MSL...236/021 9000 FT MSL...263/024 8900 FT MSL...270/030 8100 FT MSL...286/016 8000 FT MSL...267/021 7400 FT MSL...312/026 7000 FT MSL...306/023 6700 FT MSL...315/030 6200 FT MSL...311/033 6000 FT MSL...317/031 6000 FT MSL...316/032 Cheyenne (KCYS) 06/18/24 04:00 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 21000 FT MSL...216/029 13000 FT MSL...244/026 12000 FT MSL...240/029 11700 FT MSL...239/031 11000 FT MSL...253/032 10500 FT MSL...252/033 10000 FT MSL...256/031 9500 FT MSL...257/033 9000 FT MSL...259/030 8600 FT MSL...261/029 8000 FT MSL...255/021 7900 FT MSL...259/023 7300 FT MSL...264/018 7000 FT MSL...245/010 6700 FT MSL...259/012 6500 FT MSL...266/010 Riverton Aviation Discussion Issued at 0405 UTC Tuesday, June 18, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/...

This activity will decrease over the next few hours, leaving VFR conditions prevailing through most of Tuesday morning. This has also brought gusty winds, which will linger at KCPR and KRKS all night. By Tuesday afternoon showers will return to the northern half of the area as moisture wraps back in to Wyoming. The best chance for terminal impacts will be at KCOD, but certainly can`t rule out brief impacts at KJAC and KWRL. This activity will end around sunset Tuesday.

Dodge City Aviation Discussion Issued at 2347 UTC Monday, June 17, 2024 .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 643 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024 Very strong south winds will continue through much of this TAF period. A cold front will push south across west central Kansas in the morning, reaching southwest Kansas in the afternoon before slowing down and stalling out. This makes the wind direction forecast very trick for GCK and HYS, as much of the model guidance stall the front right over or very near both GCK and HYS in the afternoon. Scattered strong/severe thunderstorms will develop late in the afternoon toward the end of this TAF period, but have opted not to include TSRA or VCTS in this 00Z synoptic TAF. * * * * * Texas/Oklahoma * * * * * KGUY 172320Z 1800/1824 17025G35KT P6SM SKC FM180600 18022G32KT P6SM SKC WS020/18060KT FM181200 20020G30KT P6SM SKC= METAR KGUY 180353Z AUTO 17023G36KT 10SM CLR 27/19 A2962 RMK AO2 PK WND 18042/0312 SLP974 T02720194 METAR KGUY 180253Z AUTO 17025G37KT 10SM CLR 28/20 A2960 RMK AO2 PK WND 18043/0155 SLP965 T02830200 53011 METAR KGUY 180153Z AUTO 17022G40KT 10SM CLR 30/20 A2958 RMK AO2 PK WND 17041/0059 SLP961 T03000200 KDHT 172320Z 1800/1824 16022G32KT P6SM SKC FM180600 17022G32KT P6SM SKC WS020/18060KT FM181200 20020G30KT P6SM SKC METAR KDHT 180353Z AUTO 16024G39KT 10SM CLR 28/17 A2967 RMK AO2 PK WND 15044/0331 SLP973 T02830172 METAR KDHT 180253Z AUTO 16026G38KT 10SM CLR 29/17 A2965 RMK AO2 PK WND 16039/0243 SLP967 T02940167 53008 METAR KDHT 180153Z AUTO 16024G34KT 10SM CLR 32/16 A2963 RMK AO2 PK WND 16039/0114 SLP963 T03170161 Amarillo (KAMA) 06/18/24 04:00 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 13000 FT MSL...240/039 12700 FT MSL...243/038 12000 FT MSL...236/038 11000 FT MSL...225/038 10000 FT MSL...213/031 9300 FT MSL...197/041 9000 FT MSL...196/050 8000 FT MSL...188/053 8000 FT MSL...188/054 7000 FT MSL...177/057 7000 FT MSL...177/058 6200 FT MSL...168/057 6000 FT MSL...164/056 5400 FT MSL...158/054 5000 FT MSL...151/051 4800 FT MSL...151/048 4300 FT MSL...143/042 4000 FT MSL...139/039 4000 FT MSL...140/038 Amarillo Aviation Discussion Issued at 2322 UTC Monday, June 17, 2024 .AVIATION...

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 524 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2024 VFR conditions are currently in place across northern and central New Mexico with mostly clear skies. A few bubbling cumulus are expected to develop into thunderstorms on the southeastern and eastern periphery of the Albuquerque forecast area with cells quickly moving into west TX through the early evening. Wildfires in the Sacramento mountains will produce smoke toward KSRR and just west of KROW through the evening too. Breezy to windy conditions will settle to light to moderate breezes this evening with gusty, but more subdued, winds expected on Tuesday. In addition, very hot temperatures will remain in place, leading to high density altitude readings suggestive of poor aircraft performance for some. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 180000Z VALID 180600Z FOR USE 0500-0900Z.
