Issued at 532 AM MDT Sun Aug 31 2025
VFR conditions will prevail the next 24 hours beneath high
pressure. A few clouds will form on the terrain this afternoon.
Some isolated showers and thunderstorms will develop in the San
Juans and up the Divide. Included PROB30 TSRA in KTEX. These
will be pretty isolated and short-lived. Some gusty outflows,
brief MVFR ceilings, and perhaps small hail are possible.
Showers will taper by late afternoon and mostly clear skies will
close out this TAF period. Winds will remain light and variable
this afternoon with some terrain influence.

Weather conditions will be very uneventful over the next 24 hours
with mostly clear skies and light wind. There will be a
northwest breeze around 10 knots at KCPR Sunday afternoon, but
elsewhere wind will remain below 8 knots through the TAF period.
Areas of smoke may move toward the western TAF sites this
afternoon, but conditions are expected to remain VFR at this
time.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Upper level ridge axis will slide east into western and central
Wyoming over the next 24 hours. Drier conditions are expected with
some patchy fog possible over portions of western Nebraska.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR conditions will prevail for the
southeast Wyoming terminals through Sunday evening with northwest
winds around 15 to 20 knots this afternoon. For western Nebraska
terminals, low-end MVFR CIGS and IFR CIGS are expected until 15z,
mainly for KAIA and KCDR. Can`t rule out IFR CIGS for KSNY and KBFF
early this morning, but confidence is low with sunrise expected
shortly. There is a chance of additional IFR CIGS late tonight after
06z Monday for KAIA and KCDR.

For KGLD... VFR conditions are forecast through the period.
Generally clear skies and winds from the north around 10 kts are
expected for most of the period. There could be a few gusts
around 15-20 kts between 16-00Z. There is also a 5% chance of a
shower/storm moving over the terminal between 21-04Z.
For KMCK... Dense fog and low ceilings around or below 500ft are
forecast for the first few hours of the TAF period. There is a
chance that dry air gets mixed in and conditions improve within
the first two hours. Otherwise, ceilings should gradually lift
and clear by 18Z, allowing for VFR conditions. There is a 10%
chance for showers/storms between about 20-04Z. Otherwise, the
fog and low ceilings could return again after 06Z tonight.

Nighttime microphysics satellite imagery depicts areas of
stratus expanding across SW KS at 10z. Areas of fog and stratus
will degrade flight categories at all airports through at least
15z Sun. IFR/LIFR stratus ceilings and reduced visibility in
FG/DZ/BR are expected. VFR will return after 15z Sun. Airports
are expected to remain dry through Sunday. Winds will remain
light through this TAF period. Light north winds will prevail
daylight Sunday at less than 10 kts, followed by light and
variable winds after 00z Mon.

A gusty east canyon wind continues at KABQ, but will slowly
diminish through 15Z. Areas of MVFR conditions in low stratus
prevail along the east slopes of the central mountain chain and
adjacent eastern highlands, but are not expected to impact KLVS at
this time. Scattered showers/storms at KROW will be associated
with short-lived MVFR conditions this morning. MVFR conditions are
likely in sct/num storms across central/eastern NM late this
afternoon and evening, but short-lived IFR conditions are
possible. Low to moderate probabilities of storms impacting the
KABQ/KAEG/KSAF airspace late this afternoon after moving southeast
off of the higher terrain to the west. Areas of low stratus may
develop across eastern NM late tonight, but forecast confidence
too low to include sub-VFR conditions in TAFs at this time.
