.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday/...
Issued at 527 AM MDT Tue Jul 15 2025
VFR through the evening. Drainage winds will transition to a
northwesterly direction later this morning and persist through
most of the afternoon. At least a few gusty showers are forecast
this afternoon, though overall coverage will be sparse. Main
concern with these will be variable/gusty outflow winds during the
mid/late afternoon hours.
Winds should gradually turn to the north or northeast this
evening, with a gradual moistening trend still expected. Guidance
is in fairly good agreement developing a stratus deck between
08-11z tonight, with better odds at DEN compared to APA/BJC. At
least a brief period of MVFR to IFR ceilings is expected at all of
the terminals. Stratus should slowly rise and scatter out through
Wednesday morning.

KALS...VFR conditions through the next 24 hours. A few
showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the San Luis
Valley on this afternoon in the 23-01z time period. Gusty
outflow winds will be the main concern along with brief reductions
in CIGS and VIS.
KCOS and KPUB...VFR conditions through the next 24 hours. A
cold front will arrive this afternoon, bringing a northerly
wind shift with gusts near 25 kts possible into the evening.
There is a very low probability of an isolated shower, but
confidence in occurrence is low at this time. A secondary cold
front will arrive late tonight into Wednesday morning with
continued northerly winds. Mozley

A isolated to scattered high-based overnight showers continue
to push into the region this morning producing mostly virga with
outflow gusts to 40+ kts possible. Expect VFR conditions with
light winds through 18Z after which winds will pick up from the
west to northwest along with isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms lasting into the evening. Wild fires in the region
are producing heavy smoke that may periodically impact the
central and southern TAF sites with reduced visibility through
the TAF period, especially KGUC and KMTJ.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Thunderstorms are expected to occur near the
terminal beginning as early as 20z with the highest confidence of
thunderstorms impacting the terminal from around 22z through 04z.
Gusty and erratic winds are possible near and within these
thunderstorms, and severe wind gusts greater than 58mph cannot be
ruled out. VFR conditions are expected to follow with the passage of
the storms.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will persist
through the morning hours before thunderstorms move near or directly
impact the majority of our terminals this afternoon. The highest
confidence of terminals seeing thunderstorms are at KOGD, KSVR,
KPVU, KHCR, KEVW, and KCDC after 20z lasting through 04z at the
latest. Gusty and erratic winds are possible near and within these
thunderstorms, and severe wind gusts greater than 58mph cannot be
ruled out. VFR conditions are expected to follow with the passage of
the storms.

IFR/MVFR ceilings have developed at KCOD since 0930Z behind the
cold front and could last through 16Z. The front continues to
progress southward and expected to reach the Divide by 16Z.
Gusty northerly winds have developed over the Bighorn Basin and
Johnson County this morning behind the front, with gusts of 25
to 35 kt occurring in some locations. A weather system will
bring widespread shower and thunderstorm chances to the area
beginning this afternoon. Impacts are likely (70%) from these
showers and storms at all 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 possible with storms east of The Divide. MVFR ceilings will
return to northern portions this evening, as storms exit to the
east. This trend will spread across areas east of the Divide
through 06Z, with widespread IFR/MVFR ceilings. VLIFR/LIFR
ceilings will be possible over far northern portions, including
KCOD and KBYG after 07Z.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

A Surface cold front will move south across the high plains starting
late tonight and early Tuesday morning. This front is forecast to
stall across southeast Wyoming late Tuesday night bringing
widespread rainfall and thunderstorms to the region through
Wednesday.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: A few remaining showers are producing gusts
up to 55 mph near KBFF and possibly CDR. Otherwise, these showers
will continue drifting east and weakening through 08z.
Generally VFR conditions expected through tonight and Tuesday.
Expect some thunderstorm develop as the cold front moves south, so
mentioned the possibility of thunder (PROB30) for most terminals.
Nocturnal thunderstorms and low CIGS are expected near KCDR, KAIA,
and KBFF after 04z Wednesday with IFR conditions possible.

For KGLD & KMCK... VFR conditions are expected for most of the
period. Through 00Z, mostly clear skies and winds from the south
are forecast, with gusts around 20-30 kts possible after 16Z.
After 00Z, there are chances for storms to move through the
area. KGLD has a 10% chance and would be closer to 00Z while
KMCK has around a 35% chance closer to 03Z. Storms would move
through from the west if they did form and could have gusts
around 50 kts. Around 03Z, a cold front is forecast to move
through the area, shifting winds to more out of the
north/northeast and lowering speeds to around 10 kts (once any
storms pass). Keep an eye out for lowering ceilings late in the
period, as the current forecast is for low clouds to move in
closer to 10-12Z. Ceilings could drop below 2000ft.

Storms will develop over the high terrain around 18Z, slowly
expanding in coverage and drifting south throughout the
afternoon. Storms will generally occur along and west of the
central mountain chain, although a few stronger storms could
develop in the highlands east of the central mountain chain as
well. Main concern with storms today will be gusty outflow winds
of 30 to 40KT. VFR conditions will continue to prevail through the
TAF period outside of brief MVFR to IFR visibility under stronger
storms. Storms will begin to dissipate after 00Z, with only a few
showers lingering after 03Z.
