Issued at 1155 PM MDT Fri Jul 5 2024 There will be drainage winds and clear skies through the rest of the night. Winds will shift to the northwest during the morning hours tomorrow and could briefly gust up to 20 knots. By the afternoon, wind direction will be hard to forecast but a northerly component is expected. An outflow boundary from storms to the east may move through the terminals in the evening with gusts up to 25 knots out of the east. On Saturday night, there will be a shortwave trough that moves through the area. It may initially bring light showers with minimal impacts before midnight. After around 10Z, there could be thunderstorms that develop which could lower ceilings to around 3 kft and reduce visibility. Sunday morning will likely have stratus that impacts the terminals. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 060735Z AUTO 17011KT 10SM CLR 08/02 A3058 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 060715Z AUTO 17009KT 10SM CLR 08/02 A3058 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 060655Z AUTO 18007KT 10SM CLR 08/02 A3059 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 060655Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/07 A3027 RMK AO2 SLP166 T01420068 402410097 METAR KAFF 060555Z AUTO 15005KT 10SM CLR 15/07 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP176 T01510069 10236 20151 50004 METAR KAFF 060455Z AUTO 16007KT 10SM CLR 16/06 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP179 T01570056 KCOS 060520Z 0606/0706 16007KT P6SM FEW090 FM061200 35006KT P6SM SKC FM061700 18009KT P6SM SKC FM062000 14014KT P6SM SCT100 FM070200 03012KT P6SM BKN100 METAR KCOS 060654Z 16007KT 10SM CLR 15/08 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP177 T01500078 402560111 METAR KCOS 060554Z 19005KT 10SM CLR 17/08 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP183 60000 T01670078 10239 20161 51007 METAR KCOS 060454Z 19007KT 10SM CLR 17/08 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP185 T01670083 METAR KABH 060655Z AUTO 16009KT 10SM CLR 15/09 A3027 RMK AO2 SLP181 T01460094 402520108 METAR KABH 060555Z AUTO 15009KT 10SM CLR 15/09 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP190 T01520089 10237 20152 50004 METAR KABH 060455Z AUTO 15009KT 10SM CLR 16/08 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP184 T01640084 METAR KFLY 060735Z AUTO 22005KT 10SM CLR 12/07 A3030 RMK AO2 T01210067 METAR KFLY 060715Z AUTO 17004KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3031 RMK AO2 T01250069 METAR KFLY 060655Z AUTO 20006KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3032 RMK AO2 T01260070 402400101 METAR KFCS 060655Z AUTO 22003KT 10SM CLR 17/07 A3023 RMK AO2 SLP178 T01670068 402530119 $ METAR KFCS 060555Z AUTO 25006KT 10SM CLR 17/07 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP182 T01730065 10253 20173 51008 $ METAR KFCS 060455Z 23005KT 10SM CLR 19/07 A3024 RMK AO2A SLP182 T01870065 $ KPUB 060520Z 0606/0706 09008KT P6SM SCT080 FM060900 29007KT P6SM SKC FM061800 18008KT P6SM FEW120 FM062100 14008KT P6SM SCT120 FM070200 07012KT P6SM BKN140 METAR KPUB 060653Z AUTO 09006KT 10SM CLR 18/09 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP160 T01780089 402940144 METAR KPUB 060553Z AUTO 09006KT 10SM CLR 19/09 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP160 T01890089 10278 20189 50008 METAR KPUB 060453Z AUTO 08005KT 10SM CLR 21/09 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP159 T02060089 METAR KVTP 060735Z AUTO 10003KT 10SM CLR 08/06 A3063 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 060715Z AUTO 10004KT 10SM CLR 08/06 A3063 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 060655Z AUTO 10003KT 10SM CLR 08/06 A3063 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 060654Z AUTO 15005KT 10SM OVC055 17/14 A3026 RMK AO2 SLP165 T01720144 402830156 METAR KTAD 060554Z AUTO 09003KT 10SM FEW055 17/15 A3026 RMK AO2 RAE02 SLP169 P0000 60001 T01720150 10261 20172 51008 SPECI KTAD 060510Z AUTO 06007KT 10SM BKN055 OVC075 18/15 A3025 RMK AO2 RAE02 P0000 T01780150 METAR KLHX 060653Z AUTO 17008KT 10SM FEW110 19/10 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP154 T01890100 402890150 METAR KLHX 060553Z AUTO 17007KT 10SM CLR 19/09 A3017 RMK AO2 SLP162 T01940089 10283 20194 51009 METAR KLHX 060453Z AUTO 15009KT 10SM CLR 21/09 A3017 RMK AO2 SLP161 T02060089 METAR KLAA 060653Z AUTO 10SM CLR 17/09 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP166 T01670094 403000139 METAR KLAA 060553Z AUTO 10SM CLR 17/12 A3015 RMK AO2 SLP165 T01720117 10300 20167 50007 METAR KLAA 060453Z AUTO 10SM CLR 18/13 A3015 RMK AO2 SLP166 T01780128 Sunrise/Sunset for 07/06/2024 Burlington - 05:29:25 MDT / 20:18:36 MDT Pueblo - 05:41:57 MDT / 20:24:51 MDT Lamar - 05:34:28 MDT / 20:16:19 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 07/06/24 07:40 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 13000 FT MSL...307/013 12400 FT MSL...312/020 12000 FT MSL...286/014 11000 FT MSL...264/013 10000 FT MSL...242/013 9000 FT MSL...202/014 8000 FT MSL...170/015 7800 FT MSL...196/008 7000 FT MSL...194/020 7000 FT MSL...191/022 6300 FT MSL...191/022 6000 FT MSL...181/020 5900 FT MSL...179/019 5700 FT MSL...164/015 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 0447 UTC Saturday, July 6, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 1046 PM MDT Fri Jul 5 2024 VFR conditions expected at the TAF sites over the next 24 hours with winds increasing from the south to southwest Saturday afternoon. Winds will be strongest at KALS where gusts up to 25 kts from the southwest will be possible after 20z with a wind shift from the northwest to north during the early evening. KCOS and KPUB will see increasing southerly winds ahead of another cold front which will send a northeast to easterly wind shift into both terminals between 00z and 03z. There could be some gusts up to 30 kts with the wind shift later in the evening though confidence in timing and magnitude at this point is low due to the potential for outflow enhancement from thunderstorms well to the east which may not be properly resolved. Otherwise, expect dry conditions with thunderstorms staying confined well to th east the TAF sites. -KT * * * * * Northwest Colorado * * * * * METAR KCAG 060653Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 10/04 A3022 RMK AO2 SLP171 T01000044 402780039 METAR KCAG 060553Z AUTO 14003KT 10SM CLR 12/05 A3022 RMK AO2 SLP168 T01220050 10278 20122 51007 METAR KCAG 060453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/06 A3021 RMK AO2 SLP168 T01390061 METAR KHDN 060656Z AUTO 23003KT 10SM CLR 12/02 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP172 T01220017 METAR KHDN 060556Z AUTO 07005KT 10SM FEW120 16/01 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP164 T01560011 10244 20156 402500044 58000 METAR KHDN 060456Z AUTO 09008KT 10SM CLR 17/02 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP167 T01670017 METAR KSBS 060735Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 10/02 A3024 RMK AO1 T01000017 METAR KSBS 060715Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 10/02 A3024 RMK AO1 T00970019 METAR KSBS 060655Z AUTO 08004KT 10SM CLR 10/02 A3024 RMK AO1 T00980018 METAR KC07 060735Z AUTO 29004KT 10SM CLR 08/M04 A3048 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 060715Z AUTO 28005KT 10SM CLR 08/M05 A3048 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 060655Z AUTO 29005KT 10SM SCT090 09/M05 A3048 RMK AO2 METAR KEEO 060653Z AUTO 08009KT 10SM CLR 11/02 A3026 RMK AO2 SLP172 T01110017 402610056 METAR KEEO 060553Z AUTO 04004KT 10SM CLR 12/02 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP165 T01220017 10261 20111 51007 METAR KEEO 060453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 13/02 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP165 T01330022 METAR K20V 060735Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 06/01 A3031 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 060715Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 06/01 A3031 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 060655Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 07/02 A3032 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 060735Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 05/M21 A3034 RMK AO2 T00521213 METAR KGNB 060715Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 06/M22 A3034 RMK AO2 T00601219 METAR KGNB 060655Z AUTO 06003KT 10SM CLR 05/M20 A3035 RMK AO2 T00501199 402180006 METAR K0CO 060735Z AUTO 29022G29KT CLR 05/M09 A3058 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 060715Z AUTO 29021G32KT CLR 05/M08 A3058 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 060655Z AUTO 29019G30KT CLR 05/M08 A3060 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR KC99 060733Z AUTO 29009G22KT 10SM CLR 09/M08 A3047 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 060713Z AUTO 29009G18KT 10SM CLR 08/M08 A3048 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT NE METAR KC99 060653Z AUTO 29011G18KT 10SM CLR 08/M08 A3049 RMK AO2 KGJT 060521Z 0606/0706 11007KT P6SM SKC FM061400 20006KT P6SM SKC FM061900 28012G21KT P6SM SKC FM070200 33010G20KT P6SM SKC METAR KGJT 060653Z AUTO 08008KT 10SM CLR 22/M02 A3010 RMK AO2 SLP116 T02171022 403280194 METAR KGJT 060553Z AUTO 08010KT 10SM CLR 23/M02 A3010 RMK AO2 SLP116 T02281022 10328 20228 50004 METAR KGJT 060453Z AUTO 09005KT 10SM CLR 23/M03 A3010 RMK AO2 SLP117 T02331028 KRIL 060521Z 0606/0706 12007KT P6SM SKC FM061900 28012G22KT P6SM SKC FM070200 30007KT P6SM SKC METAR KRIL 060653Z AUTO 13004KT 10SM CLR 17/M02 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP150 T01671022 403110094 METAR KRIL 060553Z AUTO 17010KT 10SM CLR 18/M02 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP150 T01831017 10306 20183 51008 METAR KRIL 060453Z AUTO 13010KT 10SM CLR 19/M01 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP151 T01941011 METAR K5SM 060735Z AUTO 25007KT 230V290 10SM CLR 09/M10 A3056 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 060715Z AUTO 24006KT 10SM CLR 09/M10 A3056 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 060655Z AUTO 25005KT 10SM CLR 09/M09 A3057 RMK AO2 KEGE 060521Z 0606/0706 VRB03KT P6SM SKC FM061900 26012G23KT P6SM SKC FM070200 25007KT P6SM SKC METAR KEGE 060656Z AUTO 16003KT 10SM CLR 12/M01 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP153 T01221006 PNO $ METAR KEGE 060556Z AUTO 10004KT 10SM CLR 13/M01 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP154 6//// T01331011 10272 20133 402720061 51006 PNO $ METAR KEGE 060456Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/00 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP152 T01560000 PNO $ KASE 060521Z 0606/0706 20008KT P6SM SKC FM061800 34011G20KT P6SM SKC FM062100 34015G25KT P6SM SKC FM070200 20008KT P6SM SKC METAR KASE 060653Z AUTO 19005KT 10SM CLR 08/M02 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP168 T00831022 402330039 METAR KASE 060553Z AUTO 21008KT 10SM CLR 09/M02 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP172 T00941022 10228 20094 50000 METAR KASE 060453Z AUTO 20007KT 10SM CLR 10/M02 A3037 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01001017 METAR KCCU 060735Z AUTO 25011G17KT 10SM CLR 10/M10 A3060 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 060715Z AUTO 25013G16KT 10SM CLR 10/M10 A3060 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 060655Z AUTO 25012G18KT 10SM CLR 10/M09 A3062 RMK AO2 METAR KLXV 060653Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 04/M05 A3048 RMK AO2 SLP170 T00391050 402000006 METAR KLXV 060553Z AUTO 06003KT 10SM CLR 06/M04 A3049 RMK AO2 SLP168 T00561039 10189 20044 58001 METAR KLXV 060453Z AUTO 09006KT 10SM CLR 07/M06 A3049 RMK AO2 SLP164 T00721056 Sunrise/Sunset for 07/06/2024 Rangely - 05:53:02 MDT / 20:47:02 MDT Grand Junction - 05:55:12 MDT / 20:43:03 MDT Steamboat Springs - 05:43:58 MDT / 20:40:26 MDT Grand Junction (KGJX) 07/06/24 07:33 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 15000 FT MSL...283/021 14400 FT MSL...283/015 14000 FT MSL...270/017 13300 FT MSL...275/014 13000 FT MSL...267/015 12500 FT MSL...279/011 12000 FT MSL...282/007 11700 FT MSL...275/007 11100 FT MSL...256/006 11000 FT MSL...263/005 10400 FT MSL...177/005 10200 FT MSL...241/007 10100 FT MSL...194/005 Grand Junction Aviation Discussion Issued at 0526 UTC Saturday, July 6, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...

Wind gusts of 20 to 30 kt will return, starting at KBPI/KPNA around 16Z/17Z, and increasing at the other terminals after 18Z. Gusts around 35 kt will occur at KRKS. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop over northern portions after 21Z, proceeding to the southeast through the rest of the afternoon into the evening. KCOD, KWRL and KCPR will be the likely impacted terminals. Some of these showers could still be moving over KCPR by the end of the TAF period. Conditions should remain VFR, even as showers pass over these terminals and at other terminals where skies will remain mostly clear.

Issued at 1230 AM CDT Sat Jul 6 2024 Scattered thunderstorm development is anticipated this morning for northern Nebraska terminals, spreading southeastward into this afternoon. Periods of MVFR visibilities are possible inside thunderstorms, along with gusty and erratic winds. This activity should exit the area by late this afternoon, with widespread VFR prevailing into early tonight. Low stratus and fog development is then possible for central Nebraska terminals into Sunday morning, though confidence in how widespread this will be remains too low for inclusion at KLBF for now. Winds remain light from the south through this morning, before shifting northerly into late this afternoon. * * * * * Kansas * * * * * KGLD 060520Z 0606/0706 19010KT P6SM FEW250 FM060700 19014KT P6SM FEW100 TEMPO 0613/0615 SCT025 FM061500 25014G25KT P6SM FEW110 PROB30 0619/0622 VRB15G35KT 3SM -TSRAGR BKN040CB FM070200 10011KT P6SM SCT100 FM070500 15014KT P6SM BKN100 METAR KGLD 060653Z AUTO 20012KT 10SM CLR 18/13 A3012 RMK AO2 SLP169 T01780128 402560128 METAR KGLD 060553Z AUTO 19011KT 10SM CLR 17/13 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP177 T01720128 10250 20161 50004 METAR KGLD 060453Z AUTO 18009KT 10SM CLR 16/13 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01610128 KGCK 060527Z 0606/0706 19007KT P6SM FEW200 FM061500 20014G20KT P6SM FEW250 FM061800 19018G27KT P6SM SKC FM070300 16012G18KT P6SM VCTS BKN080CB METAR KGCK 060654Z AUTO 18006KT 10SM CLR 15/14 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP175 T01500144 METAR KGCK 060554Z AUTO 18005KT 10SM CLR 15/14 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP179 T01500144 10217 20150 402780139 50007 METAR KGCK 060454Z AUTO 12004KT 10SM CLR 17/14 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP181 T01670144 METAR KLBL 060656Z AUTO 13005KT 10SM CLR A3016 RMK AO2 SLPNO FZRANO PNO $ METAR KLBL 060556Z AUTO 12005KT 10SM CLR A3016 RMK AO2 SLPNO 6//// 51006 FZRANO PNO $ METAR KLBL 060456Z AUTO 16004KT 10SM CLR A3016 RMK AO2 SLPNO FZRANO PNO $ METAR KEHA 060735Z AUTO 21008KT 10SM CLR 17/15 A3019 RMK AO2 T01750151 METAR KEHA 060715Z AUTO 20008KT 10SM CLR 17/15 A3020 RMK AO2 T01750150 METAR KEHA 060655Z AUTO 20008KT 10SM CLR 18/15 A3020 RMK AO2 T01790148 Goodland (KGLD) 07/06/24 07:36 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 8100 FT MSL...204/009 8000 FT MSL...199/013 7000 FT MSL...220/023 6200 FT MSL...204/029 6000 FT MSL...209/027 5400 FT MSL...202/034 5000 FT MSL...203/034 4700 FT MSL...200/034 4300 FT MSL...195/033 4000 FT MSL...195/027 4000 FT MSL...194/025 Dodge City (KDDC) 07/06/24 07:34 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 17000 FT MSL...316/001 16000 FT MSL...068/001 15000 FT MSL...200/001 14000 FT MSL...075/004 13900 FT MSL...072/003 12000 FT MSL...010/021 11700 FT MSL...015/016 11000 FT MSL...010/015 10000 FT MSL...354/009 9800 FT MSL...330/007 9000 FT MSL...294/011 8100 FT MSL...275/006 8000 FT MSL...269/007 7100 FT MSL...243/009 7000 FT MSL...199/014 6000 FT MSL...190/015 5900 FT MSL...192/017 5100 FT MSL...184/019 5000 FT MSL...183/020 4300 FT MSL...176/016 4000 FT MSL...167/016 3700 FT MSL...165/014 3200 FT MSL...142/016 3000 FT MSL...144/015 3000 FT MSL...144/015 Goodland Aviation Discussion Issued at 0442 UTC Saturday, July 6, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 1035 PM MDT Fri Jul 5 2024 VFR conditions continue to remain forecasted for each terminal. Do have a slight concern for fog developing near KMCK as dew points are currently running around 5-7 degrees higher than guidance which is creating low dew point depressions. This along with light winds, clear skies and recent rainfall for today would normally be enough for at least patchy fog to develop across the area; however with no guidance supporting this not enough confidence to identify an exact time frame for when this may occur. Did add in a tempo for KGLD as the RAP does support some lower 850mb moisture working in with some stratus possible, winds do look to remain breezy enough that I don`t think fog will be of concern for the terminal. Continue to monitor for severe storm development near each terminal Saturday afternoon. Exact location on dryline placement does still exist mainly for the KGLD terminal, but do think a slight westward push of the dry line may occur which does leave enough confidence to keep the PROB30 in play. As for KMCK, initiation does look to be close enough to the terminal at this time that a slightly more northern initiation would have the terminal impacted so have left the PROB30 as well. Winds will then turn to the southeast Saturday evening/night as additional moisture advects in leading to shower and storm potential just after the end of this period.

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1113 PM MDT Fri Jul 5 2024 Another round of showers and thunderstorms have erupted across northeast NM late this evening, while the initial round moves south of KROW. This new round of thunderstorms may be strong or severe as it continues to push southward across the plains through the overnight hours. Large hail, damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall limiting visibility will be possible. Much of this activity should wane by 15Z. Meanwhile, easterly wind gusts at KABQ and KSAF will be likely for a few more hours. An Airport Weather Warning is in effect for KABQ for gusts up to 40kt through 09Z. Widespread IFR/MVFR ceilings and patchy fog will continue to develop across the eastern plains tonight into Saturday morning, gradually dissipating during the late morning. Low clouds may also impact KSAF. Another round of thunderstorm activity is expected on Saturday afternoon focused across southern and eastern areas once again, though coverage may not be as great as Friday. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 060000Z VALID 060600Z FOR USE 0500-0900Z.
