mostly clear skies. Expect typical diurnal wind switches through
the TAF period. The chance (30%) for rain showers and isolated
thunderstorms will increase Thursday afternoon, with erratic wind
gusts and brief MVFR restrictions the main potential hazards.

scattered showers and thunderstorms developing. Gusty and erratic
winds near thunderstorms, along with localized MVFR to IFR

VFR conditions and mostly clear skies will persist across the region
for the next 24 hours. Winds at KCPR are diminishing to start the
period. Light winds, less than 10kts, are expected at all terminals
through the entire period.
There is a very slight chance (5% confidence) of fog at KRIW and
KCOD Thursday morning, but chances are too slim to include mentions
in the TAFs.
A weather system will begin to push into the region Thursday and as
a result, cloud cover will begin to increase Thursday afternoon
across the southwest (KBPI, KPNA, and KRKS Terminals). There is a
slight (less than 5% chance) of showers at KRKS Thursday afternoon
associated with this system as well, with chances increasing
Thursday night (after the current TAF period).
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Some lingering clouds brining MVFR conditions to KSNY late this
morning, but otherwise expecting VFR conditions and SKC to
prevail this afternoon and evening. Overnight we`re likely to
see some low clouds and possible fog develop in the Nebraska
Panhandle, and most likely sites to see this impact will be KBFF
and KAIA. Winds breezy today with gusts 20-30 knots, strongest
WY terminals.

For KGLD... Low cloud ceilings around 1000ft are forecast to
continue until about 19-20Z. By then, clouds should begin to
lift and clear either due to breaks in the clouds, or the
continued warming and clearing from the west. Once the clouds
clear, VFR conditions are forecast for the remainder of the
period. Will need to watch for some pockets of fog tonight as
the moisture slowly pushes east with an advancing surface low.
Lowest possible visibility look to be about 2SM if fog did form.
Winds should remain from the south through about 09-12Z with
speeds of 15-20 kts through 06Z, then lowering closer to 10 kts.
Winds after 12Z should begin to shift to out of the northwest.
For KMCK... VFR conditions are forecast for the period. There is
a chance for fog tonight between 09-15Z as a surface low pushes
in from the west, but the chance is currently less than 15%.
Visibility could be around 3SM if it did form. Winds should
generally remain from the southeast, at 10-15kts during the day,
and then around 10kts through the night and tomorrow morning.

As of early this afternoon, showers where still present across the
southern portions of the Panhandles, with potential for KAMA to
see vicinity showers through 2 PM. These should either move off or
dissipate as we get closer to this evening with drier weather
expected to follow. At this time look for all site to be back at
VFR conditions before 4 PM this evening, if they have not already
return. Otherwise, potential is present to see fog develop over
KAMA during the early morning hours of Thursday, but confidence is
not high enough to included any mention for this package.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1149 AM MDT Wed Oct 8 2025
MVFR to IFR cigs and patchy fog are still present along and just
east of the central mtn chain, but winds are starting to turn
around to the south and strengthen so these should continue to
break up through the afternoon. Storms today will favor western
and central NM, with gusty outflow winds and briefly reduced vis
the main aviation concerns. Showers and storms may persist past
03Z in central NM, with decreasing coverage elsewhere. The fog
forecast for tonight is tricky, but there is at least a low chance
of fog for the favored areas just east of the central mountain
chain and in the southeast plains. Patchy low clouds and fog may
extend into the RGV, but confidence was not high enough to include
in any TAFs.
