.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday/...
Issued at 538 AM MDT Fri Sep 5 2025
Some light smoke lingers in the area this morning, and winds are
light so dispersion has been slow. It still appears to be enough
to mention in the TAF for slant range visibility concerns, but it
will no longer restrict surface visibility less than 6SM. There`s
still a chance of an elevated layer producing IMC for KDEN off/on
today through this evening with plenty of smoke aloft, so
something to watch for and we`ll have a greater idea of the latest
smoke concentrations after sunrise with new visible satellite
pics (barring cloud cover).
Otherwise, VFR conditions will persist but models still show an
elevated stratus deck for ceilings around 5000 ft AGL for the
Denver TAF sites through 18Z. Although as earlier indicated the
clouds are slow to thicken/become more widespread due to
relatively dry post-frontal airmass. If they do become BKN, then
expect a gradual erosion with peak daytime heating after 18Z. The
chance of showers 20Z-02Z should stay mostly southwest of KDEN,
over the higher terrain or points closer to the Palmer Divide as
the airmass is quite stable over the plains.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions prevail at the terminal through
the period. Winds remain generally light and diurnally driven,
with southeasterly winds this morning transitioning northwesterly
after 19z. Some nocturnal showers are possible overnight tonight
into early Saturday morning, though chances of impacting the
terminal remain less than 30%.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions expected
through the period for all regional terminals. Nocturnal showers
ongoing across far southwestern Utah this morning are expected to
taper off by 12z, with conditions briefly clearing out before
widely scattered showers and thunderstorms develop across the
airspace once again this afternoon. Storms that develop will be
capable of producing locally heavy rain and erratic winds, with
potential to push CIGS into MVFR/IFR levels under heavier cores
through this evening. Some nocturnal showers developing over the
West Desert of Utah may bring showers into early Saturday morning
for southern Wasatch Front terminals.

Lingering low to mid-level clouds will continue this morning, with
most terminals clearing out by mid-afternoon. KLAR and
potentially KCYS could experience MVFR CIGs early this morning,
but these should lift fairly quickly as wind speeds increase.
Aviation concerns throughout the rest of the day will be fairly
minimal, however smoke aloft will be possible across southeast
Wyoming and western Nebraska.

For KGLD & KMCK... VFR conditions are expected through the
period. The near surface layer should be clear as drier air has
moved in behind a cold front. There could be a passing shower
or two this morning, but nothing impactful is forecast at this
time. The main concern is tonight, when moisture is forecast to
move back in from the south. The current forecast keeps low
ceilings and fog south of both terminals. However, it wouldn`t
take much change for the moisture to move further north and
impact the sites. Look for updates as dense fog and ceilings
around a few hundred feet could be possible if the moisture
moves north efficiently.

Showers with embedded thunderstorms are expected across portions
of southwest Kansas into south central Kansas through this afternoon,
potentially affecting the vicinity of all TAF sites with periods
of MVFR cigs and MVFR/IFR vsbys. Low level stratus is also expected
to develop along and behind a cold front pushing southward through
southwest Kansas and south central Kansas into the Texas Panhandle
and western Oklahoma, resulting in MVFR cigs developing in vicinity
of KLBL, KDDC, and possibly KGCK generally after 12-14Z. Periods of
IFR cigs cannot be ruled out later this morning into early afternoon.
Gusty northeast winds through mid-morning behind the advancing front
are expected to slowly subside through late afternoon as the front
pushes further into Texas while surface high pressure begins to
build in across western Kansas later today.

A weather system and associated cold front is passing across the
panhandles today impacting all terminals. The passage of the cold
front has shifted the winds to the north and made them gusty.
After the passage of the cold front a deck of low clouds is
expected to build into the area reducing conditions to MVFR for
KDHT and KGUY. Once this cloud deck set up it will take a long
time to lift assuming that it even manages to do that. Increasing
instability will allow for rain showers and thunderstorms to form
during the mid morning hours which can impact all terminals. For
KDHT and KAMA the rain will wane for the late morning hours with a
brief break. KGUY will most likely not see any breaks but
continued rain for the entire morning. Then for the afternoon KDHT
and KAMA will have a low to moderate chance of seeing further
rain showers and thunderstorms develop. It wont be till the early
evening that all the rain activity final abates for all terminals.
This will also coincide with the winds weakening and shifting to
the east as well.

Broken to overcast skies persist this morning with lowering
ceilings reaching into portions of northeastern NM behind a cold
front backing south and west to KLVS to KTCC b/w 12Z to 13Z.
Thereafter, numerous showers and thunderstorms will favor
development along the Continental Divide and central mountain
chain from the Sandia/Manzano`s northward along the Sangre de
Cristo Mts. MVFR conditions will accompany this activity as it
tracks east to southeast spreading into the Rio Grande Valley.
Have gone prevailing showers for KSAF-KABQ-KAEG-KLVS with tempos
pinning down the highest confidence time period for a passing
thunderstorm. Lesser instability will be present over eastern and
southeastern NM lowering chance for thunderstorms. Showers will be
slow to wane over northern and central NM heading into Friday
night, with steadily expanding shower coverage entering southern
NM. As conditions calm, fog and mist will be likely to develop
over portions of central and eastern NM early Saturday morning.
