Issued at 540 AM MDT Thu Apr 25 2024 Dense fog is into KDEN, and from all indications will stick around through about 15Z, before improving toward 16Z. Meanwhile, most other airports including KBJC is sitting with a low stratus deck, while KAPA is in the clear and should remain there this morning although there has been a recent reinforcement of northerly flow on the back side of the cyclone, so about a 20% chance KAPA could go down. After the fog and stratus lifts, VFR conditions will be the rule through tonight. With regard to shower/storm potential, it looks rather limited 21Z-01Z per the limited moisture once the cyclone breaks down and shears east/northeast. Thus, we`ll go with VCSH for this afternoon and evening. The best chance of rain will occur after 02-03Z when better moisture arrives behind the cold front and deeper north-northwest flow develops. That`s when IMC ceilings will be more likely at KDEN. KBJC and KAPA could escape without much shower activity being closer to the downslope off the Front Range, but there has been a slight westward trend toward more precipitation farther west this evening. Winds...Northwest winds may become variable or turn southwest as the surface cyclone shears to the east after 15Z. Then there should be a trend (considerable uncertainty) for a more easterly wind component 19Z-23Z, until the cold front and/or shower outflows arrive (most likely 00Z-01Z) with gusty northwest to northerly winds up to 35 knots. Those winds are then expected to taper but still be gusty to around 20-25 knots overnight through Friday morning. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 251455Z AUTO 16004KT 10SM CLR 05/M09 A3013 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 251435Z AUTO 18007KT 10SM CLR 04/M10 A3014 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 251415Z AUTO 18009G17KT 10SM CLR 03/M10 A3014 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 251455Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/M02 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP031 T01601016 58005 METAR KAFF 251355Z AUTO 36006KT 10SM CLR 13/M02 A2989 RMK AO2 SLP044 T01271024 METAR KAFF 251255Z AUTO 04004KT 10SM CLR 08/M01 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP063 T00791006 KCOS 251120Z 2512/2612 02007KT P6SM FEW250 FM251600 16010KT P6SM FEW250 FM251800 18015G25KT P6SM SCT250 FM252200 20018G29KT P6SM BKN250 FM260100 30014G24KT P6SM BKN250 FM260400 34018G30KT P6SM BKN100 PROB30 2605/2608 P6SM -SHRA OVC080 METAR KCOS 251454Z 23008KT 10SM FEW120 18/03 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP043 T01780028 58010 METAR KCOS 251354Z 00000KT 10SM FEW120 15/06 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP056 T01500056 METAR KCOS 251254Z 00000KT 10SM FEW120 08/03 A2992 RMK AO2 SLP069 T00830033 METAR KABH 251455Z AUTO 23009KT 10SM CLR 20/M02 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP055 T02021016 58004 METAR KABH 251355Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 12/06 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP078 T01200063 METAR KABH 251255Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 07/04 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP086 T00650042 METAR KFLY 251455Z AUTO 23005KT 10SM CLR 17/M01 A2992 RMK AO2 T01711014 METAR KFLY 251435Z AUTO 26006KT 10SM CLR 16/00 A2993 RMK AO2 T01601001 METAR KFLY 251415Z AUTO 26005KT 10SM CLR 15/00 A2994 RMK AO2 T01501001 KFCS 251300Z 2513/2619 33005KT 9999 FEW110 QNH2980INS BECMG 2514/2515 27010G20KT 9999 SKC QNH2976INS BECMG 2516/2517 22015G25KT 9999 SKC 510006 QNH2966INS BECMG 2519/2520 22025G35KT 9999 SCT150 530006 QNH2958INS BECMG 2605/2606 31010G15KT 9999 FEW150 520305 QNH2957INS BECMG 2614/2616 27015G25KT 9999 BKN100 510005 QNH2950INS TX24/2520Z TN06/2513Z METAR KFCS 251455Z AUTO 20006KT 10SM CLR 19/01 A2982 RMK AO2 SLP045 T01930008 58014 $ METAR KFCS 251355Z AUTO 31003KT 10SM CLR 12/07 A2986 RMK AO2 SLP069 T01230070 $ METAR KFCS 251255Z AUTO 32005KT 10SM CLR 08/05 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP078 T00780049 $ KPUB 251120Z 2512/2612 30005KT P6SM FEW250 FM251600 16010KT P6SM FEW250 FM251900 20013G23KT P6SM SCT250 FM252200 22020G32KT P6SM BKN250 FM260100 29020G30KT P6SM BKN250 FM260400 33022G34KT P6SM SCT100 BKN250 METAR KPUB 251453Z 19005KT 10SM CLR 16/08 A2982 RMK AO2 SLP048 T01610083 58005 METAR KPUB 251353Z 24006KT 10SM CLR 13/08 A2984 RMK AO2 SLP055 T01280078 METAR KPUB 251253Z 30009KT 9SM CLR 09/07 A2984 RMK AO2 SLP056 T00940072 METAR KVTP 251455Z AUTO 26009G14KT 10SM CLR 06/M10 A3019 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 251435Z AUTO 25007KT 10SM CLR 06/M10 A3019 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 251415Z AUTO 26007KT 10SM CLR 05/M11 A3019 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 251454Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 19/M02 A2989 RMK AO2 SLP042 T01941022 58005 METAR KTAD 251354Z AUTO 07004KT 10SM CLR 16/M02 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP056 T01561017 METAR KTAD 251254Z AUTO 25011KT 10SM CLR 12/M04 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP059 T01171039 METAR KLHX 251453Z AUTO 25008KT 10SM CLR 18/05 A2981 RMK AO2 SLP045 T01780050 58002 METAR KLHX 251353Z AUTO 28010KT 10SM CLR 15/02 A2982 RMK AO2 SLP051 T01500017 METAR KLHX 251253Z AUTO 18004KT 10SM CLR 13/06 A2982 RMK AO2 SLP050 T01330056 METAR KLAA 251453Z AUTO 24007KT 10SM CLR 22/12 A2978 RMK AO2 SLP042 T02170117 58001 METAR KLAA 251353Z AUTO 25006KT 10SM CLR 18/13 A2980 RMK AO2 SLP052 T01780128 METAR KLAA 251253Z AUTO 28009KT 10SM CLR 17/13 A2980 RMK AO2 SLP052 T01670128 Sunrise/Sunset for 04/25/2024 Burlington - 05:56:58 MDT / 19:36:53 MDT Pueblo - 06:08:08 MDT / 19:44:31 MDT Lamar - 06:00:25 MDT / 19:36:13 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 04/25/24 14:55 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 15000 FT MSL...230/027 14300 FT MSL...230/022 14000 FT MSL...230/025 13000 FT MSL...235/021 12400 FT MSL...252/010 12000 FT MSL...250/014 10000 FT MSL...233/018 9700 FT MSL...259/013 9000 FT MSL...250/015 8600 FT MSL...244/015 8000 FT MSL...260/015 7800 FT MSL...258/015 7100 FT MSL...254/012 7000 FT MSL...264/013 6300 FT MSL...235/010 6000 FT MSL...233/008 5900 FT MSL...229/007 5700 FT MSL...218/006 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 0942 UTC Thursday, April 25, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 339 AM MDT Thu Apr 25 2024 VFR conditions and dry weather are expected this morning across the TAF sites, and for much of the day. Early morning fog currently to the east of COS is reducing visibility to below one mile at times. While this fog is in place at this time, anticipate it to remain east of COS while dissipating through the early morning hours. VFR conditions and clear skies once again expected through the morning into the afternoon. Will see an increase in clouds later this afternoon, as an upper level system will move across the region. This will result in showers across the higher terrain this afternoon, but think any development will remain tied to the higher terrain. The early morning lighter winds in place will increase through the morning hours, with gusty west southwest winds expected this afternoon. Think the strongest gusts will be across PUB and ALS, where gusts in the 30-35 kt range are likely. VFR ceilings lower later this evening, with mid clouds in place at all sites. Rain expands in coverage later this evening, mainly for COS and PUB. While generally light with vis staying 6sm or higher, would not be surprised to see vis fall in the 3-5sm range at times, before this rain shifts east of the terminals early Friday morning. * * * * * Northwest Colorado * * * * * METAR KCAG 251453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 12/02 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP083 T01170017 51004 METAR KCAG 251353Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 07/01 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP085 T00720006 METAR KCAG 251253Z AUTO 16005KT 10SM CLR 02/M01 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP086 T00171011 METAR KHDN 251456Z AUTO 28007KT 10SM CLR 11/M01 A2992 RMK AO2 SLP073 T01061006 50001 METAR KHDN 251356Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/M03 A2993 RMK AO2 SLP078 T00891033 METAR KHDN 251256Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM CLR 05/M02 A2992 RMK AO2 SLP080 T00501017 METAR KSBS 251455Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 10/M01 A2989 RMK AO1 T01001007 METAR KSBS 251435Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/M01 A2990 RMK AO1 T00851012 METAR KSBS 251415Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 08/00 A2991 RMK AO1 T00771005 METAR KC07 251455Z AUTO 25005KT 10SM CLR 06/M08 A3006 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 251435Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 05/M08 A3006 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 251415Z AUTO 22004KT 10SM CLR 05/M08 A3007 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT E AND NW METAR KEEO 251453Z AUTO 23003KT 10SM FEW085 12/M02 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP061 T01221022 50002 METAR KEEO 251353Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 08/M02 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP063 T00831022 METAR KEEO 251253Z AUTO 03003KT 10SM BKN110 04/M02 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP063 T00441022 METAR K20V 251455Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/M01 A2995 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 251435Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 07/M01 A2996 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 251415Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 05/M01 A2997 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT N METAR KGNB 251455Z AUTO 32003KT 10SM CLR 07/M14 A2999 RMK AO2 T00651144 METAR KGNB 251435Z AUTO 25003KT 10SM CLR 05/M10 A2999 RMK AO2 T00531104 METAR KGNB 251415Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 05/M11 A3000 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT NW T00491108 METAR K0CO 251455Z AUTO 26008G18KT CLR 00/M12 A3015 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 251435Z AUTO 26008G17KT CLR 00/M11 A3015 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 251415Z AUTO 28013G19KT CLR 00/M11 A3017 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR KC99 251457Z AUTO 26006G19KT 10SM CLR 05/M11 A3009 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 251437Z AUTO 30004KT 10SM CLR 05/M10 A3010 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 251419Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 04/M09 A3010 RMK AO2 KGJT 251125Z 2512/2612 10005KT P6SM SCT120 FM251700 27009KT P6SM SCT100 FM252300 21012KT P6SM BKN100 FM260500 10007KT P6SM SCT070 BKN100 METAR KGJT 251453Z 17007KT 10SM OVC100 18/M04 A2985 RMK AO2 SLP045 T01781044 51004 METAR KGJT 251353Z 15011KT 10SM FEW120 18/M07 A2985 RMK AO2 SLP041 T01781067 METAR KGJT 251253Z 13005KT 10SM FEW120 16/M07 A2984 RMK AO2 SLP041 T01611067 KRIL 251125Z 2512/2612 26004KT P6SM BKN150 FM251800 27010G20KT P6SM FEW090 BKN120 FM252200 23015G25KT P6SM VCSH SCT070 BKN110 FM260100 20012KT P6SM SCT050 BKN100 FM260700 32006KT P6SM BKN080 METAR KRIL 251453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/M05 A2986 RMK AO2 SLP052 T01611050 58002 METAR KRIL 251353Z AUTO 28003KT 10SM SCT120 12/M03 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP060 T01171033 METAR KRIL 251253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/M05 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP061 T00891050 METAR K5SM 251455Z AUTO 20008G17KT 160V230 10SM CLR 02/M07 A3010 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 251435Z AUTO 22009G18KT 10SM CLR 01/M07 A3011 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 251415Z AUTO 21011G20KT 180V240 10SM SCT060 00/M08 A3012 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT N KEGE 251125Z 2512/2612 VRB04KT P6SM FEW120 FM251700 24008KT P6SM FEW080 BKN120 FM252300 25015KT P6SM VCSH SCT060 BKN090 FM260300 29008KT P6SM VCSH SCT040 BKN060 METAR KEGE 251456Z 04003KT 10SM CLR 13/M04 A2992 RMK AO2 SLP050 T01331044 58008 METAR KEGE 251356Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/M02 A2995 RMK AO2 SLP058 T00941022 METAR KEGE 251256Z 32004KT 10SM CLR 05/M04 A2996 RMK AO2 SLP061 T00501044 KASE 251441Z 2515/2612 21007KT P6SM VCSH BKN120 FM251700 24010G20KT P6SM VCSH BKN120 FM260300 16005KT P6SM VCSH SCT035 BKN060 FM260900 33006KT P6SM OVC050 METAR KASE 251453Z VRB03KT 10SM CLR 11/M06 A2995 RMK AO2 SLP051 T01061056 58012 METAR KASE 251353Z 08003KT 10SM CLR 07/M06 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP067 T00671056 METAR KASE 251253Z 21005KT 10SM CLR 02/M06 A2999 RMK AO2 SLP072 T00171056 METAR KCCU 251455Z AUTO 24007KT 10SM CLR 03/M08 A3015 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 251435Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 03/M08 A3015 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 251415Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 02/M09 A3015 RMK AO2 METAR KLXV 251453Z AUTO 19006KT 10SM CLR 07/M08 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP055 T00671078 58008 METAR KLXV 251353Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 03/M06 A3005 RMK AO2 SLP054 T00281061 METAR KLXV 251253Z AUTO 14003KT 10SM CLR M01/M07 A3006 RMK AO2 SLP058 T10061072 Sunrise/Sunset for 04/25/2024 Rangely -

As showers develop this afternoon, CIGs are likely to lower to around 6-7kft AGL, beginning to obscure portions of the local topography during the late afternoon/ early evening. Periods of variable flow are expected through the morning hours but will transition to a north wind around 18Z. Rest of Utah and Southwest Wyoming...VFR conditions are expected to prevail through a vast majority of the area through the valid TAF period, however, increasing shower activity this afternoon may lead to isolated MVFR conditions for the higher elevation terminals and/ or areas experiencing heavier showers. CIGs will lower through the day, starting around 8kft AGL, dropping to around 5kft AGL by the early evening hours. Local obscuration of local topography will be the main concern. West to northwest winds are expected during the afternoon hours across the western half of the area, with southwest winds across the eastern half. Not expecting any significant gusts, however, isolated strong gusts in excess of 35kts may be possible around showers during the afternoon. * * * * * Wyoming * * * * * KEVW 251129Z 2512/2612 34009KT P6SM FEW100 BKN120 FM251600 24007KT P6SM BKN100 FM251800 25011G21KT P6SM VCSH BKN090 FM260200 25010KT P6SM BKN050 BKN100= METAR KEVW 251453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM FEW065 SCT100 BKN120 08/01 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP066 T00780011 50000 METAR KEVW 251353Z AUTO 33005KT 10SM SCT085 07/01 A2993 RMK AO2 SLP067 T00720011 METAR KEVW 251253Z AUTO 33004KT 10SM CLR 06/01 A2992 RMK AO2 SLP061 T00610006 KRKS 251120Z 2512/2612 16006KT P6SM SCT070 BKN100 FM251600 23007KT P6SM SCT080 BKN200 FM251900 25014G24KT P6SM VCSH SCT060 BKN090 FM260300 25008KT P6SM SCT050 BKN070 METAR KRKS 251454Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM BKN100 09/02 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP072 T00940022 56003 METAR KRKS 251354Z AUTO 36003KT 10SM CLR 08/02 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP076 T00780022 METAR KRKS 251254Z AUTO 31007KT 10SM CLR 04/01 A2989 RMK AO2 SLP073 T00440011 KRWL 251334Z 2514/2612 VRB04KT P6SM FEW200 TEMPO 2514/2516 3SM -TSRA BKN060CB OVC140 FM251600 21008KT P6SM VCSH FEW150 FM251800 25013KT P6SM VCTS BKN120CB FM252100 25015G25KT P6SM -SHRA VCTS OVC050CB FM260000 25013KT P6SM VCTS BKN100CB FM260300 28011KT P6SM OVC050 METAR KRWL 251453Z AUTO 28014G21KT 10SM VCTS FEW019 BKN095 BKN110 09/02 A2990 RMK AO2 PK WND 24030/1419 SLP071 T00940022 58000 METAR KRWL 251353Z AUTO 28005KT 10SM CLR 09/02 A2990 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT W SLP068 T00890022 METAR KRWL 251253Z AUTO 32004KT 10SM BKN110 04/01 A2990 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT NW SLP066 T00390006 KLAR 251120Z 2512/2612 18006KT P6SM FEW200 FM251500 21009KT P6SM FEW200 FM251900 25011KT P6SM VCTS SCT100CB FM252000 28011KT P6SM VCTS BKN060CB FM252100 29015G25KT P6SM -SHRA VCTS OVC050CB FM260300 29008KT P6SM VCTS BKN080CB METAR KLAR 251453Z AUTO 15003KT 10SM CLR 11/01 A2989 RMK AO2 SLP052 T01060011 50002 METAR KLAR 251353Z AUTO 07003KT 10SM CLR 04/01 A2991 RMK AO2 SLP072 T00390006 METAR KLAR 251253Z AUTO 35006KT 10SM CLR 03/M01 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP060 T00331006 KCYS 251503Z 2515/2612 18011KT 6SM BR OVC007 FM251600 22008KT P6SM SCT014 BKN035 FM251700 20009KT P6SM BKN100 FM252300 29015G25KT 6SM -SHRA VCTS BKN050CB FM260400 33012KT P6SM -SHRA VCTS OVC080CB METAR KCYS 251453Z 20008KT 8SM BKN008 09/07 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP063 T00940067 50001 METAR KCYS 251353Z 19007KT 8SM OVC007 08/06 A2988 RMK AO2 SLP067 T00780061 $ METAR KCYS 251253Z 19012KT 9SM OVC007 08/06 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP060 T00780061 $ Riverton (KRIW) 04/25/24 15:01 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 32200 FT MSL...222/003 30000 FT MSL...234/006 28000 FT MSL...224/011 27000 FT MSL...222/011 26000 FT MSL...228/010 25000 FT MSL...229/009 24000 FT MSL...226/010 22900 FT MSL...228/010 22000 FT MSL...231/011 20000 FT MSL...248/013 19500 FT MSL...245/013 19000 FT MSL...251/012 18000 FT MSL...245/016 17000 FT MSL...244/016 16800 FT MSL...244/011 16000 FT MSL...251/013 15000 FT MSL...259/014 14600 FT MSL...253/010 14000 FT MSL...261/010 13000 FT MSL...263/010 12700 FT MSL...267/010 12000 FT MSL...272/013 11100 FT MSL...266/012 11000 FT MSL...275/012 10000 FT MSL...272/013 10000 FT MSL...269/012 9000 FT MSL...290/011 9000 FT MSL...284/011 8200 FT MSL...318/011 8000 FT MSL...295/009 7400 FT MSL...297/009 7000 FT MSL...264/010 6700 FT MSL...245/008 6200 FT MSL...307/009 6000 FT MSL...310/010 Cheyenne (KCYS) 04/25/24 14:59 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 20000 FT MSL...213/025 18000 FT MSL...230/012 17400 FT MSL...223/015 17000 FT MSL...224/014 16000 FT MSL...240/014 13200 FT MSL...263/015 12000 FT MSL...250/028 11700 FT MSL...244/012 11000 FT MSL...243/017 10500 FT MSL...245/018 10000 FT MSL...258/018 9500 FT MSL...254/012 9000 FT MSL...218/016 8600 FT MSL...248/012 8000 FT MSL...227/013 7900 FT MSL...221/009 7400 FT MSL...227/008 7000 FT MSL...190/008 Riverton Aviation Discussion Issued at 1009 UTC Thursday, April 25, 2024 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 402 AM MDT Thu Apr 25 2024 Scattered rain showers will continue this morning, but by Thursday afternoon convection will develop/become widespread. The chance of any terminal having a thunderstorm move directly over it is too low for prevailing TS at this time, but the chance is high enough for VCTS at KJAC from 19Z-00Z Thursday afternoon. Have prevailing VFR at all terminals through the TAF period, but brief reductions to MVFR are possible (Around a 1 in 3 chance) if a thunderstorm directly impacts a terminal. Most terminals have prevailing VCSH Thursday afternoon as scattered showers and thunderstorms pass through the area. Gusty erratic wind will occur with thunderstorms and thunderstorm outflow boundaries. Wind gusts at high as 40 mph will be possible with thunderstorms. Mountain obscuration will occur at times as BKN040- BKN100 CIGS continue across the area over the next 24 hours. The chance of thunderstorms will decrease after 06Z tonight and be confined largely in vicinity of KCPR. Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts. Cheyenne Aviation Discussion Issued at 1142 UTC Thursday, April 25, 2024 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 538 AM MDT Thu Apr 25 2024 A prolonged window of scattered showers and thunderstorms is expected to arrive during the forecast period. Ahead of this occurring, expect several terminals to have CIG reductions resulting in IFR/MVFR fluctuations, especially terminals east of the Laramie Range. Low-end VFR is expected after 18z for terminals, although it will be for a brief time as coverage of showers and thunderstorms will move from west to east quickly during today. Expect localized fluctuations to MVFR/IFR from VIS/CIGs reductions during the afternoon, evening, and overnight period. Wind gusts will pick up for most terminals in the 20-35 knot range, with isolated higher gusts when -SHRA/-TSRA are present at terminals. Please see individual TAFs for further information. * * * * * Nebraska * * * * * METAR KIBM 251455Z AUTO 18003KT 10SM CLR 12/07 A2984 RMK AO2 T01180072 METAR KIBM 251435Z AUTO 16005KT 10SM CLR 11/07 A2985 RMK AO2 T01080066 METAR KIBM 251415Z AUTO 20004KT 10SM SCT120 10/06 A2986 RMK AO2 T01000061 KSNY 251420Z 2514/2612 16012KT P6SM FEW006 SCT014 FM251900 15015G25KT P6SM BKN050 FM260100 09025G35KT P6SM -SHRA VCTS BKN050CB FM260500 02011KT 4SM -SHRA BR VCTS OVC020CB FM260600 36010KT 2SM -SHRA BR VCTS BKN010CB FM261000 33012KT 5SM -SHRA BR VCTS OVC023CB SPECI KSNY 251502Z AUTO 14005KT 10SM BKN016 13/07 A2984 RMK AO2 T01280067 METAR KSNY 251453Z AUTO 16007KT 10SM SCT016 12/07 A2984 RMK AO2 SLP081 T01220067 50000 SPECI KSNY 251413Z AUTO 16009KT 10SM SCT013 11/06 A2984 RMK AO2 T01110061 METAR KOGA 251455Z AUTO 15013G16KT 10SM OVC009 13/10 A2985 RMK AO2 T01250103 TSNO METAR KOGA 251435Z AUTO 14007KT 10SM OVC009 12/10 A2986 RMK AO2 T01210100 TSNO METAR KOGA 251415Z AUTO 10007KT 10SM OVC011 12/10 A2987 RMK AO2 T01200099 TSNO METAR KIML 251453Z AUTO 14015KT 10SM OVC013 13/08 A2983 RMK AO2 SLP094 T01280083 56012 METAR KIML 251353Z AUTO 13015KT 10SM OVC013 12/08 A2984 RMK AO2 PK WND 14027/1300 SLP097 T01170078 METAR KIML 251253Z AUTO 13012KT 10SM OVC012 11/08 A2986 RMK AO2 SLP100 T01110078 KMCK 251405Z 2514/2612 13012G20KT P6SM OVC015 TEMPO 2514/2518 OVC007 FM252200 12019G28KT 2SM TSRA OVC009CB FM260000 12019G32KT P6SM VCTS OVC015CB FM260600 13014G22KT P6SM BKN025 METAR KMCK 251453Z AUTO 11012KT 10SM OVC020 15/10 A2986 RMK AO2 SLP098 T01500100 58011 METAR KMCK 251353Z AUTO 12014KT 10SM BKN018 OVC075 13/09 A2987 RMK AO2 SLP104 T01330089 SPECI KMCK 251305Z AUTO 12012KT 10SM FEW019 SCT030 OVC075 12/09 A2988 RMK AO2 T01170089 North Platte (KLNX) 04/25/24 14:59 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 22000 FT MSL...241/037 20000 FT MSL...247/031 19000 FT MSL...252/028 18000 FT MSL...253/027 17000 FT MSL...253/026 16000 FT MSL...254/024 7000 FT MSL...166/028 6300 FT MSL...171/033 6000 FT MSL...172/033 5500 FT MSL...177/037 5000 FT MSL...178/038 4700 FT MSL...177/040 4100 FT MSL...177/033 4000 FT MSL...180/024 3600 FT MSL...179/021 3400 FT MSL...176/022 North Platte Aviation Discussion Issued at 1152 UTC Thursday, April 25, 2024 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 646 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024 Band of rain with embedded thunderstorms continues to slowly shuffle to the northeast. Impacts at LBF from this are anticipated to end by mid-morning but will be replaced with low stratus prolonging MVFR conditions through much of the day Thursday. For VTN, expect a slower onset of degraded flight rules as morning activity remains to the southeast. MVFR conditions will develop by late afternoon with degraded flight rules lingering through the end of the period. Attention turns to the threat for thunderstorms later tonight, potentially affecting both terminals. Recent hi-resolution guidance has begun shifting the focus further southeast which may limit impacts to either terminal. For now, will maintain roughly the same timing until trends become more concrete. Thunderstorm activity through the end of the period will accompany the threat of heavy rain and IFR if not LIFR CIGs. * * * * * Kansas * * * * * KGLD 251120Z 2512/2612 14010KT P6SM OVC007 FM251600 16013KT P6SM BKN022 FM251800 15014KT P6SM SCT250 FM252100 14019G32KT 6SM -TSRA BKN100CB FM252300 16017G28KT P6SM VCTS BKN110CB FM260200 20011KT P6SM BKN110 METAR KGLD 251453Z AUTO 10010KT 7SM OVC007 16/14 A2981 RMK AO2 CIG 006V011 SLP072 T01610139 58002 METAR KGLD 251353Z AUTO 11007KT 7SM OVC006 14/13 A2983 RMK AO2 SLP079 T01440133 METAR KGLD 251253Z AUTO 13010KT 8SM OVC006 13/12 A2982 RMK AO2 SLP074 T01330122 KGCK 251446Z 2515/2612 18019G25KT P6SM BKN012 OVC019 FM251600 16015G23KT P6SM OVC011 FM251800 16019G28KT P6SM SCT040 METAR KGCK 251454Z 18016G23KT 10SM OVC015 21/17 A2980 RMK AO2 SLP070 T02060172 58008 SPECI KGCK 251429Z 18019G25KT 10SM BKN012 OVC019 21/17 A2981 RMK AO2 T02060172 METAR KGCK 251354Z 18012KT 9SM OVC007 18/17 A2983 RMK AO2 SLP078 T01780167 METAR KLBL 251456Z AUTO 19019G27KT 10SM BKN015 22/20 A2985 RMK AO2 PK WND 21027/1454 SLP082 T02170200 58012 SPECI KLBL 251444Z AUTO 19019G23KT 10SM BKN015 22/21 A2985 RMK AO2 SPECI KLBL 251423Z AUTO 19016KT 10SM BKN013 BKN021 21/21 A2985 RMK AO2 METAR KEHA 251455Z AUTO 20019KT 10SM SCT012 20/16 A2987 RMK AO2 T02010161 METAR KEHA 251435Z AUTO 20017KT 10SM SCT010 19/16 A2987 RMK AO2 T01920162 METAR KEHA 251415Z AUTO 19016KT 10SM SCT010 19/16 A2988 RMK AO2 T01850162 Goodland (KGLD) 04/25/24 15:00 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 12000 FT MSL...219/035 11000 FT MSL...219/026 10000 FT MSL...230/020 9300 FT MSL...239/017 9000 FT MSL...228/018 8100 FT MSL...229/016 8000 FT MSL...230/016 7000 FT MSL...220/014 6900 FT MSL...224/012 6100 FT MSL...193/012 6000 FT MSL...187/013 5300 FT MSL...163/015 5000 FT MSL...154/014 4700 FT MSL...142/017 4200 FT MSL...122/014 4000 FT MSL...116/014 4000 FT MSL...108/014 Dodge City (KDDC) 04/25/24 15:02 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 22000 FT MSL...237/041 13900 FT MSL...203/004 13000 FT MSL...265/025 12000 FT MSL...263/027 11500 FT MSL...265/023 11000 FT MSL...261/026 10000 FT MSL...256/024 9600 FT MSL...258/025 9000 FT MSL...259/026 8100 FT MSL...254/026 8000 FT MSL...251/027 7000 FT MSL...236/030 6900 FT MSL...236/030 6000 FT MSL...228/035 5900 FT MSL...226/034 5100 FT MSL...219/033 5000 FT MSL...213/034 4300 FT MSL...204/029 4000 FT MSL...196/031 3800 FT MSL...197/026 3200 FT MSL...184/029 3000 FT MSL...180/028 3000 FT MSL...180/028 Goodland Aviation Discussion Issued at 1102 UTC Thursday, April 25, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 453 AM MDT Thu Apr 25 2024 For KGLD... IFR ceilings are forecast for the first few hours this morning until cloud cover begins to clear. VFR conditions are then forecast for the remainder of the period, though thunderstorms are forecast to impact the terminal this afternoon. While timing could change by a few hours still, currently forecasting thunderstorms to form near and potentially over the terminal between 21-23Z with storms possibly nearby for a few hours after that. It would be good to look for updates and watch from 18Z-03Z when storms are more likely. Otherwise, near surface winds will strengthen during the day before weakening as the sun sets and storms pass. For KMCK... MVFR ceilings are forecast to lower to IFR within the first few hours as moisture continues to move into the area. These lower ceilings should persist through the day (30% chance they lift during the afternoon hours) with near surface winds strengthening from the southeast through the day. Thunderstorms are then forecast to impact the terminal between 22-00Z with chances for additional thunderstorms after that, but lower confidence at this time. Thunderstorms will be possible between 20-08Z so keep an eye out on conditions and for forecast updates. Dodge City Aviation Discussion Issued at 1053 UTC Thursday, April 25, 2024 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 549 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024 Low level moisture advection has resulted in low MVFR and IFR conditions this morning. As the warm front passes north of the TAF sites today, CIGS will increase to MVFR/VFR with daytime heating. Isolated thunderstorms could possibly affect the TAF sites between 21z and 03z. If storms materialize they will be severe with very large hail and damaging winds. Expect south winds to increase to 20-25 kts today as surface low pressure deepens on the high plains. * * * * * Texas/Oklahoma * * * * * KGUY 251132Z 2512/2612 18007KT P6SM BKN015 FM251400 19009KT P6SM BKN030 FM251500 19012KT P6SM BKN150 FM252000 18021G31KT P6SM FEW240 FM260300 20016G27KT P6SM FEW230= METAR KGUY 251453Z AUTO 19014G20KT 10SM CLR 21/17 A2983 RMK AO2 SLP066 T02060172 58010 METAR KGUY 251353Z AUTO 19010KT 10SM CLR 19/18 A2985 RMK AO2 SLP074 T01890178 SPECI KGUY 251309Z AUTO 18008KT 10SM SCT023 18/17 A2986 RMK AO2 T01830172 KDHT 251132Z 2512/2612 19007KT P6SM BKN040 FM251700 20014KT P6SM SCT240 FM252000 20023G34KT P6SM SKC FM260000 22024G34KT P6SM FEW250 FM260300 23019G27KT P6SM SKC Amarillo (KAMA) 04/25/24 14:56 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 28000 FT MSL...250/060 26000 FT MSL...245/056 25000 FT MSL...240/051 24000 FT MSL...238/049 22000 FT MSL...232/045 20000 FT MSL...233/040 19000 FT MSL...229/036 18000 FT MSL...228/036 17000 FT MSL...229/036 16000 FT MSL...233/032 14900 FT MSL...195/033 13000 FT MSL...228/032 12000 FT MSL...233/021 10000 FT MSL...219/023 9000 FT MSL...225/023 8000 FT MSL...216/020 8000 FT MSL...221/023 7000 FT MSL...215/024 7000 FT MSL...212/025 6100 FT MSL...213/026 6000 FT MSL...216/025 5400 FT MSL...213/025 5000 FT MSL...204/024 4800 FT MSL...201/023 4300 FT MSL...174/020 Amarillo Aviation Discussion Issued at 1141 UTC Thursday, April 25, 2024 .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 633 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024 As of 11:30 UTC, latest satellite was observing a pocket of dry air move across KAMA which is allowing for a brief period of VFR conditions. These conditions are not expected to last long given that clouds are already back filling into the area, so expected CIGS to return to MVFR and IFR levels soon. As we head into the late morning to early afternoon, CIGs are expected to improve slowly with all site returning to VFR sometime around the 18Z package. Winds will also look to pick at the surface this afternoon with potential to gust above 30kts. As for severe weather impacts, all models are still pointing to best chances east of the terminals. * * * * * New Mexico * * * * * KFMN 251126Z 2512/2612 10006KT P6SM SKC FM251700 22011KT P6SM SCT100 FM252000 27015G25KT P6SM VCSH BKN080 FM260200 25010KT P6SM BKN060 METAR KFMN 251453Z 09006KT 10SM CLR 13/M07 A2996 RMK AO2 SLP100 T01281072 58002 METAR KFMN 251353Z 09008KT 10SM CLR 09/M08 A2997 RMK AO2 SLP107 T00891078 METAR KFMN 251253Z 09007KT 10SM CLR 06/M08 A2997 RMK AO2 SLP107 T00611083 METAR KSKX 251456Z AUTO 21008KT 10SM CLR 14/M07 A3002 RMK AO2 SLP109 T01441072 58011 METAR KSKX 251356Z AUTO 14005KT 10SM CLR 11/M06 A3004 RMK AO2 SLP118 T01061056 METAR KSKX 251256Z AUTO 10003KT 10SM CLR 04/M07 A3005 RMK AO2 SLP134 T00391072 KLVS 251126Z 2512/2612 20010KT P6SM SKC FM251600 22018G30KT P6SM SKC FM251900 23033G46KT P6SM SCT130 FM260100 26016G25KT P6SM SCT150 METAR KLVS 251453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/M05 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP053 T01611050 58006 METAR KLVS 251353Z AUTO 02004KT 10SM CLR 12/M05 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP065 T01171050 METAR KLVS 251253Z AUTO 17007KT 10SM CLR 08/M06 A2999 RMK AO2 SLP068 T00831061 METAR KRTN 251453Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 16/M03 A2993 RMK AO2 SLP060 T01561033 58004 METAR KRTN 251353Z AUTO 02004KT 10SM CLR 13/M03 A2996 RMK AO2 SLP071 T01281033 METAR KRTN 251253Z AUTO 03007KT 10SM CLR 05/M02 A2996 RMK AO2 SLP086 T00501022 METAR KCAO 251455Z AUTO 18009KT 10SM SCT012 17/14 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP079 T01670139 58005 SPECI KCAO 251431Z AUTO 20007KT 10SM OVC010 16/13 A2991 RMK AO2 T01610133 SPECI KCAO 251420Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC008 15/13 A2992 RMK AO2 CIG 005V012 T01500133 Albuquerque (KABX) 04/25/24 14:55 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 16000 FT MSL...268/031 15000 FT MSL...271/009 14800 FT MSL...273/011 13000 FT MSL...260/013 13000 FT MSL...258/007 12000 FT MSL...215/014 11400 FT MSL...262/019 8400 FT MSL...275/009 7000 FT MSL...228/006 6500 FT MSL...205/005 6300 FT MSL...204/006 Albuquerque Aviation Discussion Issued at 1126 UTC Thursday, April 25, 2024 .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 518 AM MDT Thu Apr 25 2024 Patchy MVFR to IFR cigs remain across portions of far eastern NM this morning. These will persist through approximately 15Z before clearing out as strong southwesterly winds develop. By late morning, southwest winds will be rapidly increasing across the area. Gusts between 35 and 40kt will be common across western NM with gusts up to 50 kts across eastern NM through the early evening. BLDU may limit visibility, especially around KROW, where vsbys could drop below 1 mile. An Airport Weather Warning will also be likely for KABQ this afternoon for strong winds. Winds will decrease for most areas this evening, but winds will remain strong through Friday morning along and just east of the Sangre de Cristo Mtns where mountain wave activity is expected. Strong and erratic gusts will be possible due to mountain wave activity from KRTN to KLVS to KCQC. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 251200Z VALID 251800Z FOR USE 1700-2100Z.
