Issued at 547 PM MDT Mon Jul 14 2025
A strong push of west-northwest winds has stalled over DEN, with
gusty south-southeast winds in place. Appears some sort of
southerly wind component will win out, but confidence in wind
direction is low with many outflow boundaries around and more
expected to be produced. Winds eventually settle at southerly
direction 03-06Z. Enhanced drainage flow may produce southerly
winds to 25 knots 05-09Z. Winds weak towards 12Z and turn
southwesterly. For Tuesday, northwest winds are expected to
develop 16-18Z and then continue into the afternoon. The airmass
will be drier with fewer showers and storms. Though there`s about
30 percent at a high based showers bringing gusty outflow winds
during the afternoon.

Storms are beginning to dissipate, and with this, outflows are
impacting portions of the region. As such, terminals near these
storms may experience erratic gusts over the next couple hours.
40+ kt gusts have already been seen at KDRO and KMTJ.
Additionally, visibility has decreased at KMTJ due to smoke from
nearby wildfires. As the sun sets, smoke should clear. Should
wildfires be active again tomorrow though, drops in visibility
(potentially to MVFR conditions) at KMTJ may occur again.

Flagstaff Aviation Discussion
Issued at 0501 UTC Tuesday, July 15, 2025
.AVIATION...Tuesday 15/06Z through Wednesday 16/06Z...Mostly VFR
conditions will prevail, but brief MVFR conditions in SHRA/TSRA
possible. -SHRA remains along and south of a KPRC-KSOW line this
evening, but more scattered activity is expected after 18Z.
SHRA/TSRA chances increase to widespread after 00Z, primarily
Flagstaff eastward. FU/HZ likely near KGCN and KPGA from local
wildfires.
OUTLOOK...Wednesday 16/06Z through Friday 18/06Z...Daily chances
for SHRA/TSRA will continue, with best chances between 18Z-04Z
each day. Outside of reduced visibilities and ceilings in heavier
storms, VFR conditions should prevail. W-SW winds 5-15 kts
gusting near 25 kts expected during the afternoons, but
gusty/erratic winds from storms will be likely.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions will persist at the KSLC terminal
through the TAF period. Gusty northerly winds may persist until 04-
05z before shifting to the southeast if current showers in NW Utah
persist after sunset...thus added a Prob30 for periods of gusty and
erratic winds should these showers impact the terminal.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions are expected to
persist through the TAF period. Generally diurnal winds continue
while the overall flow remains light across UT aside from typical
gusty westerlies at KEVW. The slight chance for isolated showers and
thunderstorms near KCDC and KBCE continues into early evening, with
a potential for gusty and erratic winds.

VFR conditions will prevail tonight into Tuesday morning. Moisture
will increase tonight into tomorrow as a weather system moves in
from the north. This weather system will bring widespread shower and
thunderstorm chances to the area beginning Tuesday afternoon.
Impacts are likely (70%) from these showers and storms at terminals,
but confidence remains low on the exact timing of impacts, thus
PROB30 groups remain for now. With the increased moisture values it
is conceivable vis may drop to MVFR/IFR with the strongest storms.
Damaging wind gusts will be possible with storms across the area and
large hail will be possible with storms east of The Divide, Tuesday
afternoon and evening. A strong cold front will push through tonight
into tomorrow from north to south, with a wind shift becoming
northerly east of The Divide. This front will result in an increase
in wind speeds tonight through Tuesday evening. low clouds will move
into northern Wyoming Tuesday evening, with IFR conditions at KCOD
by 03Z.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Across northern Nebraska, some lingering showers are possible
through at least 06Z Wednesday.

Expect LLWS tonight from the south at 35-40 kts around the
200-500 feet AGL height. There is a chance some gusts around 30
kts could mix down to the surface before sunrise, but they will
be sporadic. As the sun rises, the low level jet will weaken
and the inversion will erode. We will see southerly winds pick
up in the mid morning, being fairly similar to yesterday.
Around 0Z, both KGLD and KMCK will see a potential of strong to
severe storms moving in from the west. KGLD has about a 15-25%
chance of seeing these storms while KMCK has a 30-40% chance of
seeing the storms. These look to be run of the mill high based,
High Plains storms, so expect erratic winds and visibility
reductions if you run into a storm. Storms look to leave the TAF
sites between 4-6Z, but we could see IFR ceilings by 12Z
Wednesday.

VFR conditions will prevail in vicinity of all TAF sites through
late Tuesday afternoon. Light south-southeast winds through mid-
morning Tuesday will increase 15 to 25kt generally after 14-15Z as
lee side troughing slowly strengthens in eastern Colorado.
