Issued at 1145 AM MDT Mon Sep 23 2024 VFR conditions and dry weather are expected across the TAF sites this forecast period. A few showers and even an isolated thunderstorm are possible across the southwest mountains, however, they will remain over the higher terrain this afternoon. Winds will be diurnally driven this afternoon into the evening time frame, but do expect a wind shift to the north for COS and PUB late this evening as a trough/boundary moves south across the plains. By early Tuesday morning, flow aloft increases and given this trend, anticipate northerly gusts to be in place Tuesday morning through the end of the forecast period. Should see a diminishing trend closer to 18z, but will let later forecasts address the duration of the strongest gusts during the end of the forecast period or the middle part of Tuesday. * * * * * Northwest Colorado * * * * * METAR KCAG 231753Z AUTO A3020 RMK AO2 SLPNO 58006 PWINO $ METAR KCAG 231653Z AUTO A3021 RMK AO2 SLPNO PWINO $ METAR KCAG 231553Z AUTO A3022 RMK AO2 SLPNO PWINO $ METAR KHDN 231756Z AUTO VRB04KT 10SM CLR 18/02 A3023 RMK AO2 SLP180 6//// T01780022 10183 20039 58005 PNO $ METAR KHDN 231656Z AUTO VRB04KT 10SM CLR 15/03 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP188 T01500028 PNO $ METAR KHDN 231556Z AUTO 10010KT 10SM CLR 12/03 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP194 T01220028 PNO $ METAR KSBS 231815Z AUTO 18005KT 10SM CLR 17/02 A3021 RMK AO1 T01720015 METAR KSBS 231755Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 17/02 A3022 RMK AO1 T01650018 10168 20010 METAR KSBS 231735Z AUTO 18004KT 10SM CLR 16/02 A3022 RMK AO1 T01590022 METAR KC07 231815Z AUTO 29003KT 10SM CLR 10/00 A3041 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 231755Z AUTO 30005KT 10SM CLR 10/00 A3041 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 231735Z AUTO 29004KT 10SM CLR 10/00 A3042 RMK AO2 METAR K33V 231815Z AUTO 25011G16KT 220V280 10SM CLR 17/M01 A3026 RMK AO1 METAR K33V 231755Z AUTO 25008KT 210V280 10SM CLR 16/M01 A3027 RMK AO1 METAR K33V 231735Z AUTO 22007KT 200V260 10SM CLR 16/M01 A3027 RMK AO1 METAR KEEO 231753Z AUTO 20004KT 10SM CLR 18/05 A3020 RMK AO2 SLP166 T01830050 10189 20022 58010 METAR KEEO 231653Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/04 A3022 RMK AO2 SLP179 T01610044 METAR KEEO 231553Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 12/04 A3022 RMK AO2 SLP190 T01170039 METAR K20V 231815Z AUTO 14003KT 10SM CLR 17/02 A3025 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 231755Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/03 A3026 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 231735Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 15/03 A3027 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 231815Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/M23 A3028 RMK AO2 T01641226 METAR KGNB 231755Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 15/M23 A3029 RMK AO2 T01521229 10152 21016 METAR KGNB 231735Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 15/M20 A3030 RMK AO2 T01461202 METAR K0CO 231815Z AUTO 30007G21KT 151V041 10SM CLR 03/M03 A3048 RMK AO2 METAR K0CO 231755Z AUTO 31009G17KT 281V341 10SM CLR 03/M03 A3049 RMK AO2 METAR K0CO 231735Z AUTO 31008G20KT 10SM CLR 03/M03 A3049 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 231810Z AUTO 30013G22KT 10SM CLR 08/M03 A3039 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 231750Z AUTO 30016G28KT 10SM CLR 08/M03 A3039 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 231730Z AUTO 31012G24KT 10SM CLR 08/M03 A3040 RMK AO2 KGJT 231735Z 2318/2418 17005KT P6SM FEW110 FM232030 29007KT P6SM FEW110 FM240100 30005KT P6SM SKC FM241400 12006KT P6SM SKC METAR KGJT 231753Z 14005KT 10SM CLR 21/06 A3015 RMK AO2 SLP154 T02110061 10211 20106 58006 METAR KGJT 231653Z 17006KT 10SM CLR 19/06 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP161 T01890061 SPECI KGJT 231629Z 15008KT 10SM CLR 18/07 A3016 RMK AO2 T01780067 KRIL 231735Z 2318/2418 VRB04KT P6SM FEW110 FM232000 29007KT P6SM FEW090 FEW110 FM240300 24004KT P6SM SKC METAR KRIL 231753Z AUTO 29004KT 10SM CLR 18/06 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP169 T01830061 10183 20061 58014 METAR KRIL 231653Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/06 A3020 RMK AO2 SLP179 T01560061 METAR KRIL 231553Z AUTO 07003KT 10SM CLR 13/06 A3022 RMK AO2 SLP191 T01330056 METAR K5SM 231815Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/M02 A3047 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 231755Z AUTO 01003KT 10SM CLR 08/M02 A3047 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 231735Z AUTO 34005KT 10SM CLR 08/M03 A3048 RMK AO2 KEGE 231735Z 2318/2418 25004KT P6SM FEW110 FM232000 26009KT P6SM FEW070 FEW250 FM240300 10005KT P6SM SKC METAR KEGE 231756Z VRB03KT 10SM CLR 17/04 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP140 6//// T01670044 10172 20028 58020 PNO $ METAR KEGE 231656Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 13/04 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP150 T01280044 PNO $ METAR KEGE 231556Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 10/04 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP158 T01000039 PNO $ KASE 231735Z 2318/2418 34007KT P6SM SCT110 FM240200 22005KT P6SM FEW120 METAR KASE 231753Z 02006KT 10SM CLR 17/01 A3027 RMK AO2 SLP159 T01670011 10172 20017 58009 METAR KASE 231653Z 06003KT 10SM CLR 14/04 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP173 T01390039 METAR KASE 231553Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 11/04 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP186 T01110039 METAR KCCU 231815Z AUTO 33004G14KT 10SM CLR 09/M02 A3049 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 231755Z AUTO 29011G17KT 10SM CLR 08/M03 A3049 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 231735Z AUTO 31004KT 10SM CLR 08/M02 A3050 RMK AO2 METAR KLXV 231753Z AUTO 33009G16KT 10SM CLR 14/00 A3039 RMK AO2 SLP161 T01390000 10139 21011 58004 METAR KLXV 231653Z AUTO VRB05KT 10SM CLR 12/M01 A3040 RMK AO2 SLP174 T01171011 METAR KLXV 231553Z AUTO 34007KT 10SM CLR 11/01 A3041 RMK AO2 SLP176 T01060011 Sunrise/Sunset for 09/23/2024 Rangely -

A subtle front originating in Montana will drift southward east of the Continental Divide, causing a northerly component to the wind this afternoon and evening; however, no wind gusts over 20 kts are forecast for TAF sites. KBYG will be more favorably positioned for 25 to 35 kt gusts this afternoon, which can already be seen. Winds decrease overnight, and will remain light on Tuesday.
