Issued at 532 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Cold front moved through on schedule with light northerly winds persisting this morning. Stratus deck came in a bit higher than originally expected with generally SCT/BKN 040-050 obs across northeast Colorado. Guidance has this quickly dissipating through the morning hours. Winds should turn to the northeast, then to an east/southeast component by this afternoon. Scattered convection is still expected to develop later this afternoon. The best chance of TSRA is near/south of APA with lower chances for BJC/DEN. Just enough coverage in the metro to justify the addition of a PROB30 at DEN, mainly for modestly gusty outflow winds for a brief period focused around 00z this evening. Overnight drainage flow is expected to be stronger than normal, with a few gusts of 25-30kt overnight. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 291535Z AUTO 15011KT 10SM OVC080 10/05 A3068 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 291515Z AUTO 15009KT 10SM OVC080 09/03 A3068 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 291455Z AUTO 15009G15KT 10SM OVC080 10/03 A3067 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 291455Z AUTO 01014KT 10SM BKN150 16/04 A3038 RMK AO2 SLP191 T01590043 52016 METAR KAFF 291355Z AUTO 36016G21KT 10SM OVC130 15/03 A3037 RMK AO2 PK WND 36026/1256 SLP187 T01460034 METAR KAFF 291255Z AUTO 35018KT 10SM CLR 14/03 A3034 RMK AO2 SLP174 T01430028 KCOS 291141Z 2912/3012 36015G30KT P6SM SCT120 FM291500 36012KT P6SM SCT120 FM291700 14010KT P6SM FEW100 FM291900 16012G22KT P6SM SCT100 SCT250 FM300000 14015KT P6SM VCSH BKN100 TEMPO 3000/3002 VRB20G40KT 2SM TSRA BKN030CB FM300600 16010KT P6SM BKN015 METAR KCOS 291454Z 34013KT 10SM FEW100 BKN150 BKN250 17/06 A3039 RMK AO2 SLP208 T01670061 51023 METAR KCOS 291354Z 35016G23KT 10SM FEW100 SCT150 BKN250 17/06 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP200 T01670056 METAR KCOS 291254Z 35015G28KT 10SM FEW100 SCT150 SCT250 16/04 A3034 RMK AO2 PK WND 35031/1221 SLP182 ACSL W T01560044 METAR KABH 291455Z AUTO 03015G21KT 10SM BKN160 19/08 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP202 T01910078 52019 METAR KABH 291355Z AUTO 03017KT 10SM CLR 17/08 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP198 T01690078 METAR KABH 291255Z AUTO 01020G22KT 10SM CLR 15/07 A3033 RMK AO2 PK WND 35027/10 SLP194 T01540072 METAR KFLY 291535Z AUTO 36012G20KT 320V020 10SM CLR 17/07 A3042 RMK AO2 T01670070 METAR KFLY 291515Z AUTO 01011G20KT 10SM CLR 16/07 A3042 RMK AO2 T01590073 METAR KFLY 291455Z AUTO 02014G21KT 10SM CLR 15/07 A3042 RMK AO2 T01450068 METAR KFCS 291455Z AUTO 01016KT 10SM FEW150 19/05 A3032 RMK AO2 SLP198 T01880049 52025 $ METAR KFCS 291355Z AUTO 36017KT 10SM SCT150 17/04 A3030 RMK AO2 PK WND 36028/1257 SLP191 T01730036 $ METAR KFCS 291255Z AUTO 35020G27KT 10SM CLR 17/02 A3028 RMK AO2 PK WND 34030/37 SLP180 T01650021 $ KPUB 291141Z 2912/3012 01018G30KT P6SM SCT120 FM291600 06012KT P6SM SCT120 FM291900 13010G20KT P6SM SCT120 SCT250 FM300000 11015G22KT P6SM OVC100 TEMPO 3000/3002 VRB20G45KT 2SM -TSRA BKN050CB FM300200 33010G20KT P6SM VCSH BKN100 FM300400 08010KT P6SM SCT050 BKN100 FM300900 09007KT P6SM BKN020 METAR KPUB 291453Z 02018G29KT 10SM OVC060 22/08 A3028 RMK AO2 PK WND 03032/1400 SLP178 T02220083 51023 METAR KPUB 291353Z 03023G33KT 10SM BKN055 21/08 A3026 RMK AO2 PK WND 02034/1326 SLP172 T02060078 METAR KPUB 291253Z 01023G34KT 10SM CLR 19/06 A3024 RMK AO2 PK WND 02034/1244 SLP163 T01940056 METAR KVTP 291535Z AUTO 09006KT 10SM SCT003 OVC008 10/06 A3070 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 291515Z AUTO 09006KT 10SM OVC006 09/05 A3070 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 291455Z AUTO 10007KT 10SM OVC004 08/05 A3069 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 291454Z AUTO 35009KT 10SM OVC026 18/06 A3034 RMK AO2 SLP191 T01830061 51028 METAR KTAD 291354Z AUTO 36009KT 10SM OVC028 18/06 A3033 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01780061 SPECI KTAD 291345Z AUTO 36012KT 10SM OVC028 18/07 A3032 RMK AO2 T01780067 METAR KLHX 291453Z AUTO 36016KT 10SM FEW049 SCT070 22/11 A3024 RMK AO2 PK WND 01026/1403 SLP174 T02170111 51022 $ METAR KLHX 291353Z AUTO 35017KT 10SM SCT050 21/09 A3023 RMK AO2 PK WND 36027/1315 SLP168 T02060094 $ METAR KLHX 291253Z AUTO 36017G25KT 10SM SCT050 19/11 A3020 RMK AO2 PK WND 36027/1154 SLP157 T01940106 $ METAR KLAA 291453Z AUTO 03016G26KT 10SM OVC060 23/14 A3019 RMK AO2 PK WND 01027/1403 SLP168 T02280139 53030 METAR KLAA 291353Z AUTO 36016G26KT 10SM CLR 22/13 A3015 RMK AO2 PK WND 36026/1348 SLP152 T02220128 METAR KLAA 291253Z AUTO 34011G21KT 10SM CLR 22/11 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP141 T02170111 Sunrise/Sunset for 06/29/2024 Burlington - 05:25:41 MDT / 20:19:48 MDT Pueblo - 05:38:19 MDT / 20:25:57 MDT Lamar - 05:30:51 MDT / 20:17:24 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 06/29/24 15:32 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 14000 FT MSL...288/003 13000 FT MSL...115/005 12400 FT MSL...129/011 12000 FT MSL...128/012 11000 FT MSL...138/011 10900 FT MSL...142/011 10000 FT MSL...179/010 9700 FT MSL...186/010 8600 FT MSL...306/007 8000 FT MSL...008/009 7800 FT MSL...014/011 7000 FT MSL...026/017 7000 FT MSL...021/016 6400 FT MSL...022/019 6000 FT MSL...025/021 5900 FT MSL...025/022 5700 FT MSL...026/022 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 1006 UTC Saturday, June 29, 2024 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 403 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024 KCOS and KPUB...VFR conditions expected this morning with gusty north winds up to 25-30 kts through 15-16z before winds shift around from the east to southeast at 10-20 kts by afternoon. Thunderstorms will develop over the mountains around noon and spread off into the adjacent plains and I-25 corridor region around 00z. Brief MVFR conditions with TSRA will be possible at both terminals for a couple hours into the evening. MVFR to IFR conditions will be possible overnight as stratus, showers and isolated embedded thunderstorms develop across the plains overnight. Greatest chance for TS will be east of both terminals. KALS will remain VFR over the next 24 hours with a lower end probability of VCSH/VCTS near the terminal during the late afternoon and evening. Winds will remain under 15 kts but could gust up to 35 kts near thunderstorms. -KT * * * * * Northwest Colorado * * * * * METAR KCAG 291453Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM CLR 17/11 A3026 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01670111 51009 $ METAR KCAG 291353Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/10 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP181 T01390100 $ METAR KCAG 291253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 11/09 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP178 T01110094 $ METAR KHDN 291456Z AUTO 09004KT 10SM CLR 17/11 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP188 T01720111 51011 METAR KHDN 291356Z AUTO 09005KT 10SM CLR 14/09 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP189 T01440094 METAR KHDN 291256Z AUTO 10SM CLR 12/10 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP192 T01220100 METAR KSBS 291535Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/10 A3028 RMK AO1 T01620101 METAR KSBS 291515Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 15/11 A3029 RMK AO1 T01500109 METAR KSBS 291455Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/11 A3029 RMK AO1 T01430107 METAR KC07 291535Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/06 A3055 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 291515Z AUTO 23004KT 10SM CLR 13/05 A3054 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 291455Z AUTO 22003KT 10SM CLR 12/05 A3053 RMK AO2 METAR KEEO 291453Z AUTO 07003KT 10SM CLR 16/10 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP169 T01610100 51006 METAR KEEO 291353Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 12/09 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP175 T01220089 METAR KEEO 291253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 11/08 A3023 RMK AO2 SLP176 T01060078 METAR K20V 291535Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 15/08 A3037 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 291515Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 15/08 A3037 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 291455Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 13/08 A3037 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 291535Z AUTO RMK AO2 PWINO TSNO METAR KGNB 291515Z AUTO RMK AO2 PWINO TSNO METAR KGNB 291455Z AUTO RMK AO2 PWINO TSNO METAR K0CO 291535Z AUTO 26009KT SCT080 OVC110 07/00 A3071 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 291515Z AUTO 25008KT OVC085 07/00 A3071 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 291455Z AUTO 25008KT BKN085 OVC110 07/00 A3070 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR KC99 291533Z AUTO 21005KT 10SM OVC100 08/02 A3059 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 291513Z AUTO 21004KT 10SM OVC100 07/01 A3059 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 291453Z AUTO 17005KT 10SM BKN110 06/01 A3058 RMK AO2 KGJT 291120Z 2912/3012 11011KT P6SM FEW200 FM291300 11017KT P6SM FEW100 FM292000 28008G18KT P6SM FEW110 FM300200 13013KT P6SM FEW110 METAR KGJT 291453Z 12013KT 10SM CLR 23/13 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP128 T02280133 51010 METAR KGJT 291353Z 09014KT 10SM CLR 21/14 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP128 T02060139 METAR KGJT 291253Z 11016KT 10SM CLR 20/14 A3012 RMK AO2 SLP123 T02000139 KRIL 291120Z 2912/3012 23003KT P6SM FEW200 FM291500 01003KT P6SM FEW120 FM291900 29008G18KT P6SM FEW120 FM300000 13009KT P6SM FEW100 METAR KRIL 291453Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM CLR 19/11 A3020 RMK AO2 SLP159 T01940106 51007 METAR KRIL 291353Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 17/11 A3020 RMK AO2 SLP160 T01670111 METAR KRIL 291253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/12 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP156 T01440117 METAR K5SM 291535Z AUTO 20006KT 10SM BKN085 14/06 A3060 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 291515Z AUTO 20005KT 10SM BKN085 13/05 A3060 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 291455Z AUTO 21005KT 10SM SCT085 13/05 A3059 RMK AO2 KEGE 291120Z 2912/3012 08006KT P6SM FEW200 FM291800 26003KT P6SM FEW100 FM292000 24011G19KT P6SM FEW090 SCT110 FM300200 10007KT P6SM FEW110 OVC120 FM300500 09004KT P6SM FEW110 METAR KEGE 291456Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/09 A3033 RMK AO2 SLP163 6//// T01440089 51007 PNO $ METAR KEGE 291356Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 13/09 A3032 RMK AO2 SLP162 T01280089 PNO $ METAR KEGE 291256Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 12/08 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP160 T01220083 PNO $ KASE 291120Z 2912/3012 14007KT P6SM SCT120 FM291500 12008G19KT P6SM SCT110 FM291900 30008G16KT P6SM FEW080 FM292200 16013G22KT P6SM SCT080 BKN100 FM300200 17009G17KT P6SM BKN250 METAR KASE 291453Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/09 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP165 T01560094 51007 METAR KASE 291353Z 00000KT 10SM OVC110 14/08 A3034 RMK AO2 SLP159 T01440083 METAR KASE 291253Z AUTO 21004KT 10SM OVC110 13/08 A3034 RMK AO2 SLP157 T01280078 METAR KCCU 291535Z AUTO 17012KT 10SM BKN080 OVC100 12/00 A3070 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 291515Z AUTO 16011KT 10SM OVC090 12/00 A3069 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 291455Z AUTO 16011KT 10SM BKN070 OVC090 12/00 A3068 RMK AO2 METAR KLXV 291453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC090 11/07 A3053 RMK AO2 SLP178 T01060072 53013 METAR KLXV 291353Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC100 11/07 A3051 RMK AO2 SLP165 T01060072 METAR KLXV 291253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC110 10/07 A3049 RMK AO2 SLP147 T01000072 Sunrise/Sunset for 06/29/2024 Rangely - 05:49:13 MDT / 20:48:19 MDT Grand Junction - 05:51:30 MDT / 20:44:14 MDT Steamboat Springs - 05:40:07 MDT / 20:41:46 MDT Grand Junction (KGJX) 06/29/24 15:33 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 16000 FT MSL...227/018 12500 FT MSL...317/013 12000 FT MSL...250/003 11700 FT MSL...331/007 11000 FT MSL...222/005 11000 FT MSL...218/013 10400 FT MSL...200/011 10200 FT MSL...241/004 10100 FT MSL...203/011 Grand Junction Aviation Discussion Issued at 1122 UTC Saturday, June 29, 2024 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/...

Issued at 512 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Stratus is rapidly developing along/in wake of a passing cold front with mainly MVFR ceilings being seen with some isolated IFR especially on the western portion of the area. Some patchy fog is also possible due to the recently saturated boundary layer; although some uncertainty on coverage of fog due to dew point depressions in excess of 5 degrees in spots and and wind around 10 knots. Stratus will end north to south throughout the morning along with the wind slowly becoming more easterly. The cold front will retreat north tonight as a warm front bringing storm potential back, some dry air may be in place across KGLD so will leave VCTS for now. A little more doubt in the northern extent of the storms tonight so will leave KMCK dry for now. Strong signal for stratus returning towards the end or just after the end of this TAF period.

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 635 AM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024 Today, breezy surface winds have engaged at AMA and GUY. Later this morning, AMA will see winds taper off, but DHT and GUY will experience breezy wind from the north after a front moves through. Wind gusts up to 30 kts are possible. By the afternoon, thunderstorm activity will begin near AMA. A PROB30 group is still implemented, but confidence for thunderstorms on top of the terminal has decreased some and will most likely be in the vicinity. Towards the evening hours, thunderstorms are expected to impact the DHT and GUY sites. PROB30 groups are still at play with higher confidence for these terminals to receive flight rule impacts. After midnight, showers and thunderstorms may still continue for GUY. Eventually, lower ceilings are anticipated to settle in after the storms have moved through. MVFR conditions are expected at DHT and GUY through the end of the period.

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 527 AM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024 A backdoor cold front entering far northeast NM as of sunrise this morning will move south and southwest into eastern New Mexico today, bringing a north to northeasterly wind shift. Air behind the front is rich with Gulf moisture and with upslope flow developing on the east faces of the central mountain chain later today, a notable increase in strong to severe storms is expected this afternoon. Slow moving storms will be capable of torrential rainfall, small hail, gusty and erratic wet downburst winds, and brief reductions to ceilings and visibility. The highest threat for strong storms producing torrential rainfall is just east of the central mountain chain from the Estancia Valley north to Raton including KLVS and KRTN. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue mainly over the northern third of the state overnight. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 291200Z VALID 291800Z FOR USE 1700-2100Z.
