Issued at 1139 AM MST Fri Nov 28 2025
Very light southwest winds or variable winds are expected at all
three terminals for much of the afternoon. A weak boundary is
lurking to the northeast of DEN which could shift winds to the
northeast later this afternoon.
Tonight, some mid level frontogenesis will create rain showers
(possible mixed with snowflakes) around the terminals between
04-08Z. Minimal impacts are expected from these showers as
ceilings could decrease to 6,000 feet but a PROB30 was added.
A cold front will move through the terminals between 07-10Z. Gusty
winds are expected behind it with gusts up to 35 knots for brief
periods. Low clouds are likely to form with 2,000-3,000 foot ceilings
that could briefly get as low as 1,200 feet. Model data is
becoming more uncertainty about whether it will snow at the
terminals or not. There is still a 60% chance light snow falls but
the chance it remains dry seems to be increasing. If the snow does
occur, visibility would be in the 1-3 SM range.
Low ceilings will break in the mid to late morning hours with VFR
conditions expected the rest of the day Saturday. Northeast winds
will continue throughout the majority of the day with gusts up to
25 knots.

High level clouds are streaming across the area with some mid
level clouds as well. These clouds will thicken and gradually
lower through the day as a system approaches the area. Most
locations will remain above ILS breakpoints, but KASE, KHDN,
KRIL, and KEGE will flirt with breakpoints at times after 00z
this evening. Snow showers will be possible for KHDN, KEGE, and
KASE between 00z and 12z tonight, with occasional reductions to
visibility dropping conditions into MVFR/IFR range. Remaining
terminals will see VFR prevail. Breezy westerly winds with gusts
of 15 to 25 knots are expected overnight, along with some LLWS
concerns for sheltered valley terminals. Conditions improve
after 12Z with showers coming to an end but some low CIGS could
linger along the Divide until late Saturday morning.

Cold front will come racing across the state this afternoon and
evening, north to south. KCOD/KWRL and KJAC will be first,
roughly 20Z-21Z, central WY around 00Z, and into KRKS around
05Z. Confidence is higher for most locations for a period of
snow, so have brought in more predominant groups, with low cigs,
vis and -sn through the evening. Northern sites should be done
with -sn around 06Z with gradual clearing starting by 12Z.
Central WY will see snow farther into the overnight hours, with
low clouds continuing into the day Saturday. Any -sn and low
cigs at KRKS will be brief around 06Z. All sites will also see
strong north winds when the front arrives, which stay gusty into
the morning Saturday.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

KAIA and KSNY have been plagued by low CIGs, they should lift over
the next few hours as a potent cold front begins its trek south
towards our CWA. Ahead of this front, scattered rain and/or snow
showers are likely and will spread across the CWA through this
afternoon. Aviation impacts will be minimal; however, a snow shower
moving over a terminal may briefly reduce VIS. On the wind front,
gusty west winds will impact KRWL and KLAR at the start of this TAF
period. These winds will ease around sunset, but ramp up again later
this evening and into the overnight hours as the aforementioned front
moves into our CWA. Expect the strongest winds to impact terminals
east of the I-25 corridor. With this FROPA, winds will shift to the
north along with bringing widespread snow showers, this will likely
reduce VIS and lower CIGs later this evening into tonight for all
terminals.

Wintry precipitation will arrive this evening across much of the
region. Areas along and north of Highway 2 will receive all snow
with accumulations up to 4 inches possible. Areas further to the
south will see freezing drizzle and light freezing rain this evening
into the early overnight hours mainly along and south of I-80. This
may create some slippery and hazardous travel conditions. Overnight,
precipitation is expected to switch over to snow, which may cover
some of the icy patches. Heading into Saturday, the snow will begin
to slowly push out of the region during the morning, but northwest
wind gusts up to 30 knots will create areas of blowing and drifting
snow resulting in additional visibility restrictions and travel
difficulties.

GLD: Ongoing IFR ceilings (as of 16Z) are expected to lift to
MVFR during the late morning to early afternoon. While further
improvement to VFR is possible for a short period late this
afternoon, conditions will rapidly deteriorate to LIFR or VLIFR
around, or shortly after, sunset (~00Z) and persist overnight..
until a strong cold frontal passage occurs shortly before
sunrise (~10-12Z Sat). Rapid improvement to MVFR is expected
after the frontal passage, followed by further improvement to
VFR several hours later.. near the end of the 18Z TAF period. S
to SSE winds at 10-15 knots will weaken and become variable
around sunset and remain light overnight.. as a broad low
pressure system in CO tracks eastward over western KS. Winds
will abruptly shift to the NNW-N and increase to 25-35 knots
(sustained) with gusts to 45 knots in assoc/w an Arctic cold
frontal passage shortly before sunrise (~10-12Z Sat). Strong
northerly winds will persist through the remainder of the
morning / 18Z TAF period.
MCK: Guidance suggests that borderline VFR-MVFR ceilings
(3000-3500 ft AGL at 16Z) will gradually lower to ~2000 ft AGL
this afternoon. Conditions will further deteriorate to LIFR or
VLIFR after sunset (00-03Z Sat) and persist overnight.. until a
strong cold frontal passage occurs around, or shortly before,
sunrise (~11-13Z Sat). Rapid improvement to MVFR is expected
after the frontal passage, followed by further improvement to
VFR several hours later.. near the end of the 18Z TAF period. SE
to ESE winds at 13-18 knots will gradually back to the E and
decrease to 7-12 knots late this aft-eve.. as a broad low
pressure system in CO tracks eastward over western KS. Winds
will abruptly shift to the NNW-N and increase to 25-35 knots
(sustained) with gusts ~40-45 knots in assoc/w an Arctic cold
frontal passage around, or shortly before, sunrise (~11-13Z
Sat). Strong northerly winds will persist through the remainder
of the morning / 18Z TAF period.

Cigs will hover near MVFR for all the terminals through the
afternoon as a deck of mid level clouds will continue through
western Kansas. LLWS will increase for DDC, LBL, and HYS between
03-06Z as a LLJ develops ahead of a deepening 850 mb low in far
western Kansas. As the low passes a strong fropa will move
across the region between 09-12Z and surface winds will quickly
increase to sustained 20-30 kts and gusts up to 40 kts.
Postfrontal cigs will continue to hover between MVFR and IFR
categories for all terminals between 12-18Z.

IFR/LIFR conditions to start the TAF period at KAMA and KDHT but
cigs should gradually start to improve in the coming hours. Winds
will be out of the southwest in the 15-25kt range and may gust as
high as 35kts. This will continue through about 00z, when winds
will gradually come down around 15kts and start turning more
westerly to northwesterly as we move in the 09-12z time period.
At least that will be fore KDHT and KGUY with the cold front
coming sooner. KAMA will come more out of the north around 16z.
Some LLWS at KDHT and KGUY mainly in the 10-17z time period, and
that would be for winds out of the northwest around 45kts at about
2000ft agl.

Low clouds across eastern NM have largely dissipated late this
morning, though it will be possible for low clouds to redevelop
along the Pecos River Valley in the vicinity of KROW tonight.
Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail. High clouds will
continue to lessen in coverage from west to east today. Daytime
mixing will allow for a few westerly breezes this afternoon with
gusts mainly between 20 and 25kt. A shortwave trough will cross
northern NM overnight. Winds speeds will remain elevated across
mountain peaks with mountain wave activity expected along and east
of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, especially the southern Sangre
de Cristo Mts. At lower elevations where winds will decouple, low
level wind shear will develop, including at KABQ, KAEG, KLVS and
KTCC. On Saturday morning, a backdoor cold front will shift into
NE NM with gusty north to northeast winds behind it. This front
will continue to slide southward through the afternoon.
