VFR conditions and dry weather are expected this forecast
period, with any afternoon isolated shower and thunderstorm
development expected to stay confined to the higher terrain.
Lingering outflow across COS and PUB will likely keep winds
steady out of the east early, before becoming more light and
variable for the remaining early morning hours. Light and
diurnally driven winds are then anticipated for all sites this
period, outside of a few gusts later this afternoon.

Skies will remain mostly clear through the next 24 hours,
although some passing mid and high-level clouds will be
possible. Some clouds and showers or thunderstorms will be
possible over the San Juans this afternoon, with main concerns
being gusty and erratic winds for terminals such as KTEX and
KDRO. A fire north of KEGE could produce enough smoke to reduce
visibility at that terminal. Winds will be generally light and
follow typical terrain driven patterns. VFR conditions will
prevail, although smoke or brief heavy rain could lead to short
periods of MVFR conditions.

VFR conditions are forecast for this TAF period for each
terminal. Still watching the potential for some radiational fog
to develop for MCK with visibilities down to around 6sm
possible, less than 5% chance briefly lower into MVFR territory.
Only reason I didn`t include MVFR visibilities in the tempo was
due to a declining signal. Winds are forecast to become more
southerly through the day with a SE component by this afternoon
before shifting back towards the SW, especially for GLD this
evening.

Outside of some light patchy fog in vicinity of DDC and GCK
airports, good aviation weather is forecast for all four
airports DDC, GCK, LBL, and HYS through this TAF period today
and tonight. Winds will remain light with no major wind shift in
speed or direction. Large scale subsidence through the depth of
the troposphere should prevent organized shower and
thunderstorm activity through the period.

VFR conditions will prevail at all TAF sites over the next 24
hours. Have very brief MVFR conditions for the KAMA TAF site as a
cluster of storms just to the northeast has developed and may
impact the terminal through about 1230-1300z. Same with KDHT,
however those showers look less potent at the moment and have held
off on the thunder and just gone with SHRA. Thereafter, mainly
light and variable winds with few mid to high clouds for the

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 525 AM MDT Wed Aug 20 2025
A couple showers and storms are still trekking southwest from
near Clovis to Roswell before sunrise. Isolated SHRA/TS will
continue moving southwest thru the morning before coverage
increases after 1pm. Direct hits from this activity may produce
brief MVFR vsbys in heavy rainfall. Elsewhere, SHRA/TS will
develop around the high terrain after 11am then move southwest
into nearby highlands and the RGV thru sunset. Gusty winds are
expected with any of this activity today. Showers will dissipate
after sunset with lingering mid level cigs across central and
western NM thru midnight.
