For KCOS and KPUB..IFR ceilings are expected to persist through the
rest of tonight and into the early morning hours of Wednesday, with
LIFR ceilings and drizzle expected at KCOS as well. Improvement is
likely for KCOS after 15Z, and after 14Z for KPUB. Once ceilings
lift in the morning, VFR conditions are likely to persist throughout
the remainder of the TAF period. There is a very slight chance of a
shower or thunderstorm at KPUB Wednesday afternoon, though chances
were too low (less than 30%) to include in the TAF at this time. For
the most part, convection should remain south of both stations.
For KALS..MVFR visibility in mist will be possible early Wednesday
morning for KALS and across the San Luis Valley. Improvement and VFR
conditions are likely after 14Z. Showers and thunderstorms are
possible (30% chances) for Wednesday afternoon, though most
convection is expected to remain along the higher terrain, and to
the south of the station for the most part.

A ridge axis extends north through the Central Rockies and
across Wyoming during the forecast period. The upper flow does
begin to back to the southwest, which leads to breezy southwest
surface wind at KCPR and KRKS late Wednesday morning and
afternoon. Otherwise, conditions remain VFR with most other
terminals seeing surface wind 10kts or less. Patchy fog in the
Wind River Basin between 11Z and 15Z/Wednesday is not expected
to impact the KRIW terminal.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

The possibility exists for another round of fog heading into
Wednesday morning. The highest chance for this is at KLAR,
KCYS, KSNY, and KBFF with probabilities ranging from 10% to 50%
for IFR conditions. Confidence is pretty low as a result, but
the probability is high enough to warrant TEMPO groups at KLAR
and KSNY, and VCFG at KCYS and KBFF. Expect all terminals to
return to VFR by the late morning hours.
Gusty winds return Wednesday, with southwest gusts at KRWL and
KLAR, and southerly gusts at all other terminals. Wind gusts of
20 to 30 knots can be expected. This may continue after sundown
at KCDR and KAIA.

An area of VFR ceilings will move into southwest Nebraska
around 12Z. It appears this should remain VFR near 4000ft AGL.
This should linger most of the day across southwest through
central Nebraska. Winds will become south near 16015G25KT after
16Z at KLBF with gusts near 30KT at KVTN. Should see decreasing
clouds at KLBF by 00Z/9th, with winds decreasing slightly to
15013G20KT into the evening.

GLD: VFR ceilings ~5000 ft AGL this evening are expected to
deteriorate to MVFR (~1500-2500 ft AGL) by sunrise (12Z) Wed
morning.. as low-level southerly return flow /warm advection/
strengthens over the region. Further deterioration to IFR
cannot be ruled-out during the mid-late morning. Ceilings are
expected to lift/scatter to VFR during the early-mid afternoon
(18-21Z). Light S to SE winds will increase to 12-20 knots by
late morning and further increase to 15-25 knots during the
afternoon. Breezy SE winds may persist through the remainder of
the 06Z TAF period.
MCK: VFR conditions will prevail through sunrise Wednesday.
Strengthening low-level southerly return flow /warm advection/
may foster the development of MVFR ceilings at McCook during the
late morning to early afternoon (~15-18Z Wed). Sub-VFR
ceilings, if present, would likely lift to VFR (~3500 ft AGL)
during the early afternoon. Light/variable winds will shift to
the SSE-SE by sunrise, increasing to 12-20 knots by mid-late
morning (~15Z) and further increasing to 15-25 knots during the
afternoon. Breezy SE winds may persist through the remainder of
the 06Z TAF period.

MVFR to VFR conditions are ongoing to start this TAF cycle but
conditions will decrease to MVFR to IFR at each site. In addition
to the low clouds, mist and/or rain showers may lead to reduced
visibility as well, with the higher potential of this occurring at
KAMA or KDHT. Low clouds should clear out by or shortly after 18z
and VFR conditions are forecast thereafter. Winds will initially
be out of the east but will become southerly with gusts upwards of
20-25 kts.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 100 AM MDT Wed Oct 8 2025
Widespread low clouds producing MVFR/IFR ceilings and visibility
along and east of the central mountain chain remains tonight. Fog
and mist will reduce visibility at many locations along the
highlands just east of the central mountain chain as well. Sporadic
showers and thunderstorms are still dotting a few locations near
KSAF to K0E0 as well as near KCVN to KROW this hour. This activity
is expected to slowly wane overnight into Wednesday morning. Some
fog development within the Rio Grande Valley near KSAF to KABQ and
KAEG is possible, but confidence is low regarding how much coverage
there will be. Current thinking is that KAEG will be more
susceptible to this compared to KABQ. Low clouds across eastern NM
will be slow to erode Wednesday afternoon. Afternoon showers and
thunderstorms will favor development along the Continental Divide
and into portions of the Rio Grande Valley where PROB30s are
included at KFMN-KGUP-KABQ-KAEG-KSAF.
