.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 447 AM MDT Thu Sep 20 2018
Subtropical moisture and a disturbance will produce scattered
showers and thunderstorms across the flight area today. Wet snow
showers have been falling above 11,000 feet overnight and this
activity will continue this morning. The strongest thunderstorms
today will be over the far eastern counties, east of the I-25
corridor, this afternoon. Storms will be weaker from the I-25
corridor westward. The primary weather hazards with storms today
will include lightning, gusty winds to around 50 mph, locally heavy
rain and small hail.
The KALS, KCOS and KPUB terminals will see showers and possibly a
thunderstorm in the vicinity this morning. Currently, showers have
waned but another batch of moisture could work up from New Mexico
over the next few hours as evidenced by radars. Areas of MVFR to
LIFR flight conditions will be found in areas of precipitation
today. Otherwise, VFR. Late tonight, some low clouds and light
precipitation could return to the plains as a weak front backs up to
the mountains. This may bring widespread MVFR to IFR CIGS to plains
by Friday morning.

.AVIATION...For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday
East of the Continental Divide...(KCPR, KCOD, KRIW, KLND, KWRL)
Areas of MVFR, local IFR ceilings, will continue with scattered
showers, isolated thunderstorms through 12z. Drier air will push in
from the west with ceilings lifting and dissipating from 12z-16z
Thursday. VFR conditions will then prevail through the rest of the
period. Smoke from large wildfires in the Wyoming Range may send a
plume of smoke and some visibility restrictions over the Wind River
Mountains vicinity KLND late Thursday afternoon and Thursday night.
West of the Continental Divide...(KJAC, KRKS, KBPI, KPNA)
VFR conditions will prevail through the period. Isolated showers
and thunderstorms vicinity and east of a KJAC-KCOD line should move
east of the Divide by 12z Thursday. Gusty west to northwest wind at
10-20 knots will prevail across the area Thursday afternoon. Smoke
from the Roosevelt and Marten Creek Fires in the Wyoming Range will
likely send large smoke plumes east vicinity KBPI-KPNA Thursday
afternoon and evening. Surface visibility restrictions will remain
mainly in the vicinity of the fires, but could also result in
mountain obscurations over the Wind River Range.

Widespread IFR to LIFR conditions continue this morning across the
high plains of southeast WY & the western NE Panhandle. Conditions
will gradually improve from SW-NE between 15-18z, with some threat
for low ceilings to linger at KCDR/KAIA through 18-20z. Otherwise,
VFR conditions will eventually take control w/ gusty winds for all
terminals during the afternoon hours, especially for the southeast
WY sites.

The latest surface analysis shows a surface low in the Central
High Plains with a cold front extending from far east central CO
into southwest NEB near Lexington with a stationary front then
extending east to near Inglewood. Stratus prevails across much of
the area, generally LIFR to IFR, along with a line of showers that
is present in the eastern Panhandle and far western NEB, in
addition to patchy fog. Low ceilings will continue into late
morning with ceilings then lifting gradually today to VFR from
southwest NEB to north central NEB. Present area of post-frontal
showers will continue to move eastward in time across western and
north central NEB today. Thereafter, there is another chance for
an additional round of showers and thunderstorms across mainly
southwest NEB this afternoon and evening. Beginning late afternoon
skies are expected to decrease from the eastern Panhandle east to
central NEB this evening.

Cigs will start out VFR. As a cold front works its way south, storms
with midlevel clouds will start to develop. Lower VFR cigs/storms
will start out along the cold front first for KGCK/KLBL. As the storm
activity spreads east, KDDC/KHYS will get in on the action with reduced
cigs/possibly vis. Storms along the front could produce locally reduced
vis in association with +TSRA along the entire front. Outflow winds
of 40-50+ kt may be possible ahead of the storms/outflow boundary.
MVFR cigs possible towards the end of the TAF pd with residual stratus.
