.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 521 PM MDT Fri Oct 2 2026
KCOS, KPUB, and KALS: VFR conditions are expected for this TAF
period. With that said, pockets of very low level clouds to fog may
develop across the TAF sites tonight, lowering conditions into IFR
to LIFR as ceilings and visibilities drop. Otherwise, mostly clear
skies and dry conditions are anticipated for this TAF period.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail across the area through the
next 24 hours. LLWS is expected at both terminals overnight into
early Saturday morning. LLWS should diminish earlier at KVTN, while
conditions may persist through around 14Z at KLBF. As mentioned in
the previous discussion, some guidance continues to suggest the
potential for low stratus and fog early Saturday morning. However,
confidence in development remains low, and MVFR conditions are not
currently expected. Skies will gradually clear Saturday morning as a
frontal boundary moves east across the area. Ahead of the front,
southwest winds of 10 to 20 knots are expected across central and
eastern portions of the area. Winds will shift to the northwest
behind the front across western Nebraska, generally at 10 to 15
knots. By Saturday afternoon, the front will have moved through most
of the area, with north to northwest winds of 10 to 20 knots and
gusts up to 25 knots possible, particularly across the
Sandhills.

Low clouds and patchy areas of drizzle continue over portions of
east central to south central New Mexico early this evening. These
low clouds will persist tonight into Saturday morning with
scattered to MVFR ceilings (less than 3,000 ft) and localized, or
isolated IFR ceilings (less than 1,000 ft). While much of the
northwestern half of New Mexico is currently VFR and mostly clear,
patchy ground fog will develop late tonight into the early morning
Saturday. Most western and central areas would be expected to
stay in the MVFR category (3 to 5 mile visibility) or better early
Saturday, but spotty areas of IFR conditions (1 to 3 mile
visibility) cannot be ruled out (10-30% chance), especially where
standing water and soggy soils are concentrated. Into the
afternoon Saturday, a clearing trend will commence with VFR
conditions, just a few fair weather cumulus clouds, and light
breezes prevailing.
