Models all show weak drainage winds overnight tonight, then
south-south-easterlies winds all day Saturday. I went with a TEMPO
group late in the day for -TSRA as there looks to be enough
instability for a few thunderstorms. From mid afternoon into the
evening hours DIA could see SCT-BKN030-050 and even BKN-OVC025-040
later tonight.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 350 AM MDT Sat May 11 2024
Predominantly MVFR to VFR cigs expected at the TAF sites with rounds
of -SHRA/-TSRA possible through early evening. A couple rounds
expected with one this morning, and another possible this afternoon
before diminishing quickly after 00z for all three terminals. As
skies clear overnight there could be some ground fog developing
where the ground is saturated. For now think that remnant mid/high
cloud deck with keep this development too patchy and low probability
for inclusion in any of the TAFs just yet. Otherwise, winds will be
light and southerly with speeds generally under 15 kts. -KT

Showers and thunderstorms are already ongoing across the
southern portions of the area. This activity will continue to
move northward through the morning, with increasing coverage
expected. All terminals can expect to see showers or storms at
least in the vicinity today. Higher terrain terminals, such as
KASE and KTEX, are most likely to see showers directly impact
the terminals. Greatest impacts will be moderate precipitation
lowering ceilings and visibility, as well as lightning and gusty
and erratic winds. Some small hail may also be possible. Shower
activity will taper off after sunset, with skies slowly clearing
and winds becoming light and terrain driven. VFR conditions will
prevail, although passing showers will be capable of briefly
reducing conditions to MVFR or IFR. KASE, KRIL, and KEGE will
flirt with ILS breakpoints when showers are nearby.

Showers and thunderstorms are already ongoing across the
southern portions of the area. This activity will continue to
move northward through the morning, with increasing coverage
expected. All terminals can expect to see showers or storms at
least in the vicinity today. Higher terrain terminals, such as
KASE and KTEX, are most likely to see showers directly impact
the terminals. Greatest impacts will be moderate precipitation
lowering ceilings and visibility, as well as lightning and gusty
and erratic winds. Some small hail may also be possible. Shower
activity will taper off after sunset, with skies slowly clearing
and winds becoming light and terrain driven. VFR conditions will
prevail, although passing showers will be capable of briefly
reducing conditions to MVFR or IFR. KASE, KRIL, and KEGE will
flirt with ILS breakpoints when showers are nearby.

KGLD...VFR conditions are expected from taf issuance through
about 08z. A light west wind at taf issuance will back to the
southwest and increase in speed with gusts up to 25kts or so
from 18z-02z. From 03z-08z, winds settle to around 10kts from
the south. There is a possibility of thunderstorms impacting the
terminal after 23z. Gusty outflow winds are possible in the
01z-03z timeframe. Sub VFR cigs are anticipated after 09z.
KMCK...VFR conditions are expected through the period. A light
west wind at taf issuance will back to the southwest at speeds
under 10kts from 18z through the rest of the taf period.
Regarding precipitation chances, they increase a bit after about
03z with higher confidence of impacting the terminal after 09z.
Severe weather is not expected.

With a storm system moving in from the west we will see a band
of rain showers and thunderstorms come into southwest Kansas
during the mid afternoon hours. Periods of rain and storms will
move through western Kansas during the night and we should see
cloud ceilings fall from VFR flight category around 03-06Z to
IFR flight category for DDC, LBL, and GCK through 12Z. Winds in
general should be 12 kts or less.

VFR conditions are present and should continue through the day.
MVFR ceilings move in this evening, possibly lowering to IFR later
in the overnight period but confidence precludes mentions at this
time. Otherwise, rounds of showers are favored through much of
the period. Thunderstorms are possible at each site tonight, but
low confidence in thunderstorms occurring and the timing of
thunderstorms precludes mentions at this time. Amendments may be
needed.

Active weather will continue to impact the airspace the next 24
hours with showers, storms, low stratus decks, mt obscurations,
icing, and turbulence. Currently, widespread MVFR with local IFR
along and east of the central mt chain will give way to showers
and storms after sunrise. Some of these storms may become strong
after 1pm in the area from near ABQ to Santa Fe southeast across
the plains to near Roswell. Hail, severe wind gusts, and heavy
rainfall are possible. Storms will slide across eastern NM thru
the evening while evolving into a larger area of rain with
embedded storms thru the overnight. Widespread MVFR cigs are also
likely to develop again across the east with patchy IFR vsbys.
