Issued at 524 PM MDT Thu May 23 2024 Front was already crossing the area with gusty north winds behind it. Not sure what directions will occur after 01z as they could go more NW or NE. Confidence in either scenario is low at best. After 03z winds may become more east and then SE after 05z, in one scenario, or go from NW to WNW to SSW in the other scenario. On Fri, winds will be S or SSE by 12z and then SE by 19z. Otherwise VFR conditions thru the period. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 240255Z AUTO 21008G20KT 180V250 10SM SCT032 SCT038 03/M01 A3012 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 240235Z AUTO 16013G20KT 10SM SCT035 SCT110 03/M02 A3010 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 240215Z AUTO 18014G20KT 10SM SCT110 04/M02 A3010 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 240255Z AUTO 05015KT 10SM CLR 13/M01 A2981 RMK AO2 SLP027 T01261010 52040 METAR KAFF 240155Z AUTO 02016G26KT 10SM CLR 16/M01 A2976 RMK AO2 PK WND 01032/30 PRESRR SLP004 T01551011 SPECI KAFF 240131Z AUTO 36024G32KT 10SM CLR 22/M10 A2973 RMK AO2 WSHFT 25 PRESRR SLP982 KCOS 240111Z 2401/2424 27015G30KT P6SM FEW100 SCT250 FM240130 01020G30KT P6SM SCT250 FM240400 35012G22KT P6SM SCT250 FM241000 35012KT P6SM SCT250 FM241600 15012KT P6SM SKC METAR KCOS 240254Z 02020G27KT 10SM FEW120 FEW150 13/00 A2980 RMK AO2 PK WND 35029/0206 SLP024 PRESRR T01330000 53044 METAR KCOS 240154Z 34016G27KT 10SM SCT120 SCT150 22/M04 A2973 RMK AO2 PK WND 32027/0148 PRESRR SLP991 PRESRR T02171039 METAR KCOS 240054Z 27015G29KT 10SM BKN110 24/M04 A2967 RMK AO2 PK WND 26032/0035 WSHFT 0000 SLP970 VIRGA OHD T02391039 METAR KABH 240255Z AUTO 36015G23KT 10SM FEW120 13/M01 A2979 RMK AO2 PK WND 01032/25 SLP028 T01261006 52040 METAR KABH 240155Z AUTO 02022G32KT 10SM BKN150 15/M00 A2974 RMK AO2 PK WND 02036/37 PRESRR SLP016 T01521002 SPECI KABH 240135Z AUTO 02026G32KT 10SM SCT130 BKN150 19/00 A2971 RMK AO2 WSHFT 28 SLP995 METAR KFLY 240255Z AUTO 36015G21KT 10SM CLR 11/M01 A2985 RMK AO2 T01051006 METAR KFLY 240235Z AUTO 02014G19KT 10SM CLR 11/00 A2984 RMK AO2 T01081001 METAR KFLY 240215Z AUTO 01016G21KT 10SM CLR 12/00 A2982 RMK AO2 T01241001 KFCS 232100Z 2321/2503 24015G25KT 9999 FEW120 520009 QNH2960INS TEMPO 2321/2401 24025G35KT 530009 BECMG 2401/2402 32015G25KT 9999 FEW120 520009 QNH2964INS BECMG 2404/2405 34009KT 9999 FEW100 520309 QNH2980INS BECMG 2414/2415 17009KT 9999 FEW100 520409 QNH2986INS BECMG 2421/2422 17010G15KT 9999 BKN080 QNH2981INS TX27/2321Z TN05/2412Z METAR KFCS 240255Z AUTO 02010KT 10SM CLR 16/00 A2974 RMK AO2 PRESRR SLP027 T01630004 52046 $ SPECI KFCS 240220Z AUTO 35014KT 10SM CLR 22/M08 A2970 RMK AO2 WSHFT 17 PRESRR SLP003 $ METAR KFCS 240155Z AUTO 29019KT 10SM CLR 23/M09 A2966 RMK AO2 SLP989 T02311090 $ KPUB 232329Z 2400/2424 24015G25KT P6SM FEW120 FEW250 FM240200 30014KT P6SM SCT250 FM240300 01012G22KT P6SM SCT250 FM240600 03007KT P6SM SCT250 FM241000 09010KT P6SM SKC FM241600 13012KT P6SM SKC METAR KPUB 240253Z A2966 RMK AO2 SLPNO 53033 PWINO METAR KPUB 240153Z 23017G28KT 10SM CLR 28/07 A2961 RMK AO2 SLP964 T02780072 METAR KPUB 240053Z 23020G24KT 10SM CLR 30/M08 A2957 RMK AO2 SLP956 T03001078 METAR KVTP 240255Z AUTO 26018G22KT 10SM CLR 09/M28 A3012 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 240235Z AUTO 27015G21KT 10SM CLR 09/M29 A3013 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 240215Z AUTO 26013G20KT 10SM CLR 10/M31 A3014 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 240254Z AUTO 26011KT 10SM CLR 18/M07 A2976 RMK AO2 SLP000 T01781067 53022 METAR KTAD 240154Z AUTO 26018G27KT 10SM CLR 23/M09 A2973 RMK AO2 PK WND 27034/0105 SLP982 T02281089 METAR KTAD 240054Z AUTO 27020G31KT 10SM CLR 25/M09 A2970 RMK AO2 PK WND 27031/2357 SLP977 T02501089 METAR KLHX 240253Z AUTO 24017KT 10SM CLR 25/M06 A2961 RMK AO2 PK WND 25027/0230 SLP963 T02501061 53019 METAR KLHX 240153Z AUTO 25015KT 10SM CLR 26/M07 A2958 RMK AO2 PK WND 26027/0102 SLP962 T02611072 METAR KLHX 240053Z AUTO 24019G28KT 10SM CLR 29/M07 A2954 RMK AO2 PK WND 26029/0026 SLP948 T02941067 METAR KLAA 240253Z AUTO 26009KT 10SM CLR 20/M04 A2956 RMK AO2 SLP962 T02001039 53015 METAR KLAA 240153Z AUTO 29007KT 10SM CLR 26/M04 A2953 RMK AO2 WSHFT 0106 SLP947 T02561039 SPECI KLAA 240126Z AUTO 31008KT 10SM CLR 30/M06 A2951 RMK AO2 WSHFT 0106 T03001056 Sunrise/Sunset for 05/23/2024 Burlington - 05:28:41 MDT / 20:03:09 MDT Pueblo - 05:40:55 MDT / 20:09:43 MDT Lamar - 05:33:23 MDT / 20:01:14 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 05/24/24 02:57 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 11000 FT MSL...256/032 10000 FT MSL...269/028 9700 FT MSL...242/017 9000 FT MSL...272/020 8600 FT MSL...289/018 8000 FT MSL...322/019 7800 FT MSL...348/025 7100 FT MSL...014/031 7000 FT MSL...012/031 6400 FT MSL...016/034 6000 FT MSL...016/037 5900 FT MSL...014/037 5700 FT MSL...011/034 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 2345 UTC Thursday, May 23, 2024 .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/...

Ahead and along this front, gusty west to southwesterly winds will continue. Behind the front, northwesterly winds will gust 20-30 knots for an hour or so before slowly weakening. Skies will rapidly clear behind the front, as is already being seen at terminals in eastern Utah and northwestern Colorado. VFR to MVFR conditions will be likely along the front, with VFR conditions expected to prevail through the next 24 hours. Light winds tonight will be northerly before transitioning to more variable and terrain driven patterns.

Issued at 405 PM MDT Thu May 23 2024 The last wave of the upper low pressure system will push through today. Showers will mostly be confined to the north (KJAC, KCOD, KWRL terminals), though there is a chance (20%) that KPNA, KRIW, and KCPR terminals could see some brief rain showers, with best chances (50%) at KRIW. MVFR conditions are expected with the showers at the aforementioned terminals. KJAC and KCOD may continue to see IFR conditions with snow showers through the first few hours of the period, with conditions improving to MVFR and eventually VFR by 02Z. All terminals should see prevailing VFR conditions and cloud cover beginning to scatter out by 06Z tonight. A northerly wind push will continue to move through the Wind River Basin and impact KRIW and eventually KCPR terminals around 00Z-02Z. This northerly push will be associated with a cold front and accompanying rain showers. Winds will decrease overnight (by 06Z) and increases in winds Friday morning will be limited to the favored locations (KPNA and KCPR). Winds will continue to increase towards midday, but not nearly as strong as what was experienced today. Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Dodge City Aviation Discussion Issued at 2341 UTC Thursday, May 23, 2024 .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 626 PM CDT Thu May 23 2024 A strong cold front will be the primary focus across southwest Kansas over the next 24 hours. High resolution short term models are in good agreement that this front will cross the Garden City and Hays areas by 06Z Friday, followed by the Dodge City and Liberal areas between 08Z and 10Z. As the front passes, expect gusty north winds of 25 to 35 knots, with gusts up to 45 knots, based on forecast boundary layer winds and 850 mb winds from BUFR soundings and CAMS. These strong winds will persist through daybreak. Additionally, a few strong to severe thunderstorms may be possible near the Hays area between 07Z and 11Z Friday as the cold front moves through. These strong winds overnight and early Friday will gradually decrease during the day. * * * * * Texas/Oklahoma * * * * * KGUY 232333Z 2400/2424 22019G30KT P6SM SKC FM240500 24012G23KT P6SM SKC FM240800 35012KT P6SM SKC WS020/36045KT FM242100 06008KT P6SM SKC= METAR KGUY 240253Z AUTO 21011KT 10SM CLR 23/M05 A2959 RMK AO2 SLP972 T02281050 53012 METAR KGUY 240153Z AUTO 21012KT 10SM CLR 27/M07 A2957 RMK AO2 SLP966 T02721067 METAR KGUY 240053Z AUTO 22017G27KT 10SM CLR 31/M08 A2955 RMK AO2 PK WND 21032/2354 SLP959 T03111078 KDHT 232333Z 2400/2424 23026KT P6SM SKC FM240300 22016KT P6SM SKC FM240600 26013KT P6SM SKC FM241200 01013KT P6SM SKC WS020/03035KT METAR KDHT 240253Z AUTO 22009KT 10SM CLR 17/M08 A2969 RMK AO2 SLP002 T01721083 53016 METAR KDHT 240153Z AUTO 24015KT 8SM CLR 26/M08 A2967 RMK AO2 PK WND 23031/0102 SLP989 T02561083 METAR KDHT 240053Z AUTO 24012G28KT 10SM CLR 29/M10 A2965 RMK AO2 PK WND 23041/0014 SLP983 T02941100 Amarillo (KAMA) 05/24/24 02:55 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 14000 FT MSL...241/029 13000 FT MSL...245/031 12600 FT MSL...253/030 12000 FT MSL...246/031 11000 FT MSL...254/032 10800 FT MSL...254/032 10000 FT MSL...246/030 9300 FT MSL...250/032 9000 FT MSL...247/031 8000 FT MSL...243/031 8000 FT MSL...244/032 7000 FT MSL...239/032 7000 FT MSL...239/032 6200 FT MSL...235/031 6000 FT MSL...235/031 5400 FT MSL...229/030 5000 FT MSL...229/028 4700 FT MSL...224/027 4300 FT MSL...228/029 4000 FT MSL...225/024 4000 FT MSL...222/023 Amarillo Aviation Discussion Issued at 2336 UTC Thursday, May 23, 2024 .AVIATION...
