.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday/...
Issued at 513 AM MDT Mon Jul 14 2025
VFR through the TAF period. Drainage winds this morning will
become more variable over the next several hours as a weak/diffuse
cyclone attempts to organize near the terminals. Guidance tries to
place that pretty close to DEN by 18z, though some statistical
guidance firmly keeps a southeast wind at DEN/APA through the day.
If north/northeast winds do develop chances are speeds would be
light.
Afternoon convection is still expected to develop across the
foothills before shifting into the I-25 corridor near/after 21z
(perhaps aided by the aforementioned cyclone/convergence zone).
Soundings indicate deep mixing with modest instability, but plenty
of DCAPE to support gusty winds with any showers or storms that
develop this afternoon. Convection should diminish by 03z with a
return to typical drainage winds likely Monday night into Tuesday
morning.

VFR conditions are expected at all three TAF sites (KALS, KCOS,
KPUB) for the next 24 hours. Winds will remain light and variable

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 541 AM MDT Mon Jul 14 2025
VFR conditions begin the TAF period this morning with some
scattered upper level clouds hanging along the Divide and in the
San Juans. Winds will remain light this morning and afternoon
with a few terrain influenced gusts this afternoon. Showers and
thunderstorms develop on the terrain, favoring the San Juans and
adjacent to the Divide north of there. Erratic and gusty
outflow winds and lightning will pose the main threat to
aviators this afternoon. Ceilings will likely not reach
breakpoint conditions thanks to high based showers. Some cloud
cover will stick around the mountains tonight, but thin out
after midnight and terminals should finish up this TAF period
under VFR conditions again.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions will persist at the KSLC terminal
through the TAF period. Typical diurnal wind shifts are expected to
northwesterly around 17z and southeasterlies once again around 04-
05z.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions are expected to
persist through the TAF period. Generally diurnal winds will take
hold as overall flow remains light across UT and southwest WY. There
is a chance for isolated showers and thunderstorms near KCDC and
KBCE, though probabilities appear too low at this time to include in
the TAF.

VFR flight conditions are anticipated a majority of this TAF period
at all terminals. At KCOD, there is a chance (30%) of thunderstorms
between 20Z Monday and 02Z Tuesday and this is reflected in a
PROB30 group. Confidence in afternoon thunderstorms at all other
east of the Divide terminals and KJAC is around 10%-20% so
there is no mention in TAF at this time. Most
showers/thunderstorms will be virga and will be capable of
strong downdrafts and gusty outflows around 35-40kts. If a heavy
downpour directly impacts a terminal, a very brief period of
MVFR visibilities cannot be ruled out.
Otherwise expect breezy winds at all terminals with gusts around 20-
25kts at KJAC, KBPI, KPNA, KCPR, and KWRL after 19Z through around
sunset. At KCOD, low ceilings begin to develop with gusty north winds
around 10Z Tuesday with the arrival of a cold front. Confidence
in MVFR ceilings is too low (around 20%) so communicated
potential with a FEW030 at this time.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Quiet conditions overnight through the early morning hours with
mostly light and variable winds and clear skies. Some high clouds
are slowly moving out of the KLAR and KRWL terminals and clear skies
will return to these locations. Primary aviation concern this
afternoon will be strong to severe thunderstorms east of the Laramie
Range with KCYS, KBFF, KCDR, KSNY, and KAIA likely to see a line of
storms push through the terminals. Gusty winds will accompany this
line across the Nebraska Panhandle where terminals will gust 25 to
30kts, potentially higher.

For KGLD & KMCK... VFR conditions are expected through the
period with mostly clear skies. Winds should remain from the
south, but could increase to around 15-20 kts with gusts up to
30 kts after 17Z. Between about 01-05Z, there is a 10% or less
chance that showers or storms could move over either terminal.
Showers and storms are forecast to move into Eastern Colorado,
but struggle to make it past the Colorado border.

From 18Z to 00Z Tuesday, KAMA will have a slight chance at seeing
a thunderstorm. Since storms are expected to be isolated across
the southern Texas Panhandle this afternoon, KAMA has a good
chance at staying free from thunder. Therefore any mention of
thunder in the TAF has been left out at this time. VFR conditions
are expected to prevail for all three terminals through the next
24 hours. Any off chance that the potential for thunder increases
for KAMA some amendments, or changes in the next TAF issuance,
may be needed.

A few storms remain ongoing in southeastern NM, but this activity
should end by around 15Z at the latest. Today`s crop of
convection will favor areas along and west of the Rio Grande
Valley. Storms will develop over the high terrain and slowly drift
to the southwest. Gusty outflow winds up to 40KT will be the main
aviation hazard, although brief MVFR to IFR vis may accompany
stronger storms. Diurnally driven activity will dissipate after
00Z, with all activity done by around 06Z.
