ACARS soundings show CAPE is building over the Denver metro and
will soon reach 1,000 j/kg. Scattered showers and storms will
develop this afternoon as a result and may move over the
terminals. Wind gusts up to 35 knots are possible with visibility
around 2 SM. The best chance for storms is between 20-02Z this
afternoon/evening.
For the rest of the TAF period, VFR conditions are expected with
light winds.

Thunderstorms will be an early event for the KCOS and KPUB
terminals this afternoon and will carry a PROB30 starting at 18z
at KCOS and as early as 19z for KPUB. KALS will follow suite but
expect a little later timing there, closer to 21z. Gusty
erratic outflow winds, brief moderate to heavy rainfall and
lightning will be the primary storm risks. Activity should pull
east of the terminals towards 00z to 01z with VFR cigs gradually
breaking and clearing out towards morning. Winds will remain
gusty northerly at KCOS and KPUB becoming thunderstorm outflow
dominated with erratic wind directions through early evening
before decreasing after sunset. KALS will see light winds before
thunderstorm winds impact the terminals during the late
afternoon and early evening, then settle on an easterly
direction through the evening before diminishing overnight. -KT

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1145 AM MDT Sat Aug 30 2025
VFR conditions prevail over the next 24 hours. Isolated showers
and thunderstorms are possible (20% to 40% chance) east of the
Continental Divide this afternoon and evening. KBYG, KCPR, and
the Powder River Basin have the highest chances of seeing a
nearby storm. Overall winds will be light today area-wide, but
gusty outflow winds of 20 to 30 kt are likely in the immediate
vicinity of any thunderstorms.
Skies clear overnight, but given decreasing atmospheric
moisture, fog is not expected at any TAF terminals. Light winds,
mostly clear skies, and VFR conditions prevail again tomorrow
(Sunday), with fewer showers and storms.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1148 AM MDT Sat Aug 30 2025
A mix of flight categories expected through tomorrow. Primarily
all sites will have a low risk of a passing shower or storm
which could briefly lower CIGs or VIS, but not expecting a long
duration event at any site. Otherwise, expecting a deck of low
clouds and possibly some BR at KCDR/KAIA tomorrow morning much
like this morning. Otherwise CIGs will be generally mid level,
around 8-10k feet. Winds around 5 to 15 knots, with some
occasional stronger gusts possible, particularly if a storm or
shower moves near or over a site. Storms expected through this
evening, weakening after the sun sets.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025
Expansive low stratus will continue to hamper aviation
operations across west central Nebraska terminals.
A slow moving disturbance continues to promote areas of rain
along with low stratus. A clearing line has set up near a
OGA to GRN line but eastward progression of this remains
uncertain. For now, believe some improvement is likely at LBF
and have inserted high-end MVFR conditions for much of the
afternoon hours. Confidence is a little lower at VTN and though
some improvement appears possible, have maintained IFR for now
with possible amendments to come. A lengthy period of VCTS was
added to LBF as short term guidance hints at isolated convection
this afternoon but given sparse coverage of small cells,
uncertain if direct impacts occur.
Tonight, low stratus will redevelop coincident with fog. Expect
fairly widespread IFR/LIFR conditions once again with the
potential for dense fog affecting at least portions of the area.

Ceilings will continue to break apart this afternoon, but
IFR/LIFR conditions are not expected to fully clear out of KMCK
until around 20Z. Until then, some additional showers may impact
the airport and lower visibilities. KGLD may see another round
of showers move in from the west around 19Z. Confidence these
showers impact the airport directly is less than 40%, but at
worse we`d expect visibility to drop to around 3 miles for about
15-30 minutes.
This afternoon, around the 22-04Z time frame, a round of storms
may move in from the northwest and impact both KGLD and KMCK.
Gusty winds are expected to be the main impacts, but
visibilities may drop around or below 4 miles if a storm moves
over the airport. Following the storms, generally northwesterly
winds are expected, which will likely lead to some stratus
developing. Currently, KMCK looks to be worse off than KGLD, but
there is a 40% chance the stratus expands west and KGLD will see
another morning of LIFR ceilings.

Low clouds will hang around bringing MVFR to IFR conditions.
Some clearing may be seen across GCK and LBL terminals by
morning. A weak cold front will move through the area with wind
from the east to north at less than 10 knots behind the front.

A bank of low level clouds remains over the panhandles for this
morning that can cause brief MVFR conditions. This deck is lifting
and scattering which will return conditions to VFR. This afternoon
and evening rain showers and thunderstorms are expected to form
in the panhandles. All terminals may be impacted by these with
KAMA having the highest chance, followed by KDHT, and then KGUY.
The rain showers and thunderstorms will be capable of producing
heavy rainfall that can reduce conditions to IFR or worse.
Further, some of the storms may become strong to severe and able
to produce damaging winds and large hail. Currently the threat for
severe storms is highest in the southern panhandles including
KAMA. Following the rain showers and thunderstorms another bank of
low clouds has a moderate chance of developing in the panhandles.
This deck would be capable of producing MVFR to IFR ceilings at
any terminal it impacts. This is most likely at KAMA thus is
reflected in the TAF, while KDHT and KGUY have lower chance thus
it is not reflected in the TAFs.

Showers and storms will develop over the high terrain of the
central mountain chain between 18Z and 22Z, moving into the plains
after 22Z. Storms will cluster together into an MCS in the eastern
plains in the evening, propagating south and westward along a
backdoor cold front. Storms may persist as late as 15Z in the
southeast plains near KROW, with MVFR to IFR cigs developing after
convection ends.
A backdoor front will surge through the gaps of the central
mountain chain around 06Z, creating gusty east winds of 25-35kt at
KABQ and KSAF. There is a moderate chance an AWW will be needed
at KABQ between 06Z and 12Z, but gust strength will be heavily
impacted by convective coverage/intensity in eastern NM.
