There are a few light showers that have formed tonight which could
move over the terminals with no impacts. Otherwise, winds will
become light and variable overnight due to a weak boundary moving
through.
With increased moisture and instability, the chance for storms to
impact the terminals is higher today than Sunday. There appears to
be a likely chance that an outflow boundary moves through all the
terminals with gusts up to 36 knots. However, the chance that a
storm directly impacts a terminal is 30%. Southeast winds this
evening will shift to drainage around midnight.

VFR conditions anticipated across the forecast area over the next 24
hours, including the three main TAF sites of KCOS, KPUB and KALS.
Surface winds are forecast to be diurnal in direction and generally
under 12 kts. Maintained a PROB30 for -TSRA for KCOS between 19z-24z
tomorrow, but didn`t include anything for KPUB, as better storm
chance look to stay north. Gusty outflow winds likely late
afternoon/early evening at KPUB and KCOS, as storms push eastward
through the plains.

VFR conditions and light winds less than 15kts will prevail at all
terminals through the period. High pressure will begin to build
today, bringing quieter weather for the next several days. Shower
and thunderstorm chances will be much less widespread today. 20 to
30% chances will generally remain isolated to the Absarokas, but
there is enough confidence in weak showers spreading over the Cody
Foothills to include a PROB30 group for KCOD. The only other note in
the forecast is possible wildfire smoke impacts for KWRL. HRRR smoke
forecasts indicate that despite light winds, smoke from the Red
Canyon fire east of Thermopolis will again plume out today, and that
smoke could drift north, briefly impacting KWRL with MVFR vsby
possible at times through the period.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

VFR conditions expected over the next 24 hours, outside of any
stronger thunderstorms that move over sites. These storms could
bring heavy rainfall that will bring a period of MVFR or below
VIS, with the most likely sites for stronger storms being NE
Panhandle terminals. Winds expected 5-10 knots with some
stronger gusts near any passing thunderstorms causing variable
and erratic winds, but the predominant winds expected light
otherwise. CIGs remaining mid to high level, 10-20k feet, or
clear overnight.

Scattered thunderstorms will continue to impact the northern
Sandhills and north central Nebraska over the next couple hours,
impacting KVTN terminal along with KONL and KANW terminals.
Gusty erratic winds and reduced visibilities will be possible.
Sfc winds will be light and variable overnight. There will be
another chance of isolated to scattered thunderstorms in the
afternoon and evening. Winds will be out of the south in the
afternoon and evening around 5 to 10 kts.

VFR conditions are currently forecast for each terminal. Given
the clear skies and light winds I can`t completely rule out some
brief reduction in visibility due to radiational fog between 12
and 14Z. Winds will slowly become more easterly throughout the
day as a surface low passes across the area. Continuing to watch
the potential for strong to possibly severe storms for each
terminal this evening. Storms may remain north of the GLD
terminal so will maintain the PROB30; as for MCK do have some
concern that storms will gust out and therefore not impact the
terminal so also will leave as PROB30. Some fog/stratus may
develop towards the end of the period for each terminal but will
be dependent on how storm chances evolve later today.

There are no major aviation weather concerns for this TAF cycle.
It still looks like thunderstorm chances at any of the four
airports DDC, GCK, LBL, HYS to include in this TAF, as the best
area for organized convection will be northwest of our southwest
Kansas terminals. VFR flight category will prevail in the
continued warm air mass preventing low stratus cloud
development.

VFR conditions are forecast for much of this TAF cycle. There are
thunderstorms currently northwest of KAMA, but they are expected
to stay to the west of the terminal. Will amend if storms do
approach the site. Additional thunderstorms are possible after
21z, with higher confidence in potential impacts at KDHT and KAMA.
Have included PROB30 groups in the TAFs given the storm potential.
Outside of storms or any outflow boundaries, winds will mainly be
out of the south around 10-15 kts or less.

A few showers will linger through 09Z in south-central NM, with
clearing skies elsewhere. Mostly light winds and VFR conditions
will prevail around the region tonight. Scattered slow-moving
gusty showers and storms will develop tomorrow everywhere outside
of the northwest third of the state. Gusty outflow winds to 40KT
will be the main hazard with tomorrow`s storms as they move from
the mountains into the lower elevations during the late afternoon
and evening.
