VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period.
Southeast winds should continue through Saturday afternoon.
Scattered showers will occur west of all terminals along the
higher terrain, but it is possible a shower or two could spread
into KBJC by Saturday evening. Models have favored this outcome
thus including a VCSH between 00-02Z. There is lower confidence in
this outcome for KAPA and KDEN due to unfavorable conditions for
thunderstorm development thus kept it out of the TAF for now.
Additionally, winds increase this afternoon gusting between
20-27kts briefly from 21-22Z until 00Z. Drainage winds are
unlikely by Saturday night and should remain south.

VFR conditions with mainly dry weather is expected across the
TAF sites this forecast period. While conditions remain clear at
ALS this morning, low stratus will likely build back towards PUB
and COS early this morning. Ceilings are currently VFR and
expect them to remain that way as they move across the
terminals. If ceilings were to fall to MVFR, think COS would
have the higher chance of observing these lower ceilings. Once
again, think this is a low chance though. Any lower ceilings
clear out by early to mid morning, with clearer skies expected
for much of the day. Will see the lighter winds in place this
morning increase during the day, with southeast winds at COS
and PUB and south southwest winds at ALS. Highest gusts at all
sites look to be in the mid 20 kt range. Scattered showers with
isolated thunderstorms will develop over the higher terrain this
afternoon, and think conditions will remain dry at all sites.
With a slightly higher chance for a shower at ALS, have included
a VCSH during the afternoon time frame.

Showers have ended this evening and skies have steadily been
clearing. The trend of clearing skies will continue tonight, with
mostly clear skies expected through Saturday morning. Patchy fog is
the only hazard tonight/Saturday morning due to the recent moisture
and clearing skies. Terminals with a chance of patchy fog are
KCPR/KRIW. The better chance (50%) is at KCPR, so have MVFR VIS and
FEW003 from 10Z-15Z/Sat. At KRIW kept VCFG as it is less likely
(30%) to occur/impact the terminal.
The prevailing wind will be light and variable at most terminals
tonight before becoming southerly late Saturday morning. High clouds
(SCT200) will pass overhead Saturday afternoon, with increasing
cloud cover heading into Saturday evening. All terminals will have
prevailing VFR conditions through the TAF period, with the exception
of KCPR due to fog.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

VFR conditions currently across area terminals as upper level
clouds continue to move off towards the east, giving way to
mostly clear skies. Latest GOES Nighttime Microphysics RGB does
show lingering low clouds mainly near southeast WY terminals
that could persist through the early morning hours. Gusty winds
will return Saturday afternoon, generally out of the south.

VFR conditions will rule through the TAF period at both
terminals. NNW winds at 10-15 knots will weaken and become
variable early this afternoon.. as surface high pressure in
Nebraska extends southward over northwest Kansas. Winds will
shift to the SSE-SE and increase to 10-15 knots this evening
(GLD) and Sunday morning (MCK).. as high pressure shifts east of
the region and a surface trough develops in the lee of the
Rockies.

Showers and thunderstorms at the onset of this TAF period will
continue through the first several hours before moving off to
the southeast. In the wake of precipitation, stratus clouds will
prevail through the morning with ceiling expected to be in the
MVFR category above 1000 feet. By mid-morning, stratus ceiling
will scatter out as high pressure builds south. Widespread VFR
flight category will then prevail from late morning/midday
through the remainder of the TAF period with north winds
gradually decreasing to around 10 knots by mid to late
afternoon.

A cold front is passing through the panhandles this morning
impacting all terminals. This front will bring gusty north winds
to all terminals that will last to the afternoon hours today.
These winds will be strongest with frontal passage and slowly
become weaker through the morning hours. In OK panhandle the front
will cause thunderstorms which can impact KGUY. This thunder
activity is currently not expected to arrive at KDHT and KAMA as
the chance for this are very low. The front will bring low clouds
to all the terminals which will cause MVFR to IFR conditions with
generally lower clouds in the OK panhandle compared to TX
panhandle. This afternoon moisture will surge back into the
panhandles from the S which can cause further showers and
thunderstorms mainly in the S TX panhandles. This activity looks
to be confined to the afternoon to early evening hours but there
is a small chance that it could persist longer. KAMA and KDHT
would be the more likely stations to be impacted by this thunder.
Winds during the afternoon hours will likely weaken and shift to a
more easterly flow.

A strong backdoor cold front will briefly produce wind gusts up to
40 KT as it dives southwestward through the eastern plains for the
remainder of tonight, except near 45 KT across northeast areas.
The front is forecast to push through gaps in the central mountain
chain with a strong east canyon wind in the central valleys from
Santa Fe southward. Gusts could reach up to 35 KT at KSAF, up to
45 KT at KABQ, and up to 35 KT in Carrizozo. An Airport Weather
Warning will be issued for KABQ for wind gusts exceeding 35 KT
from 12-18Z Saturday morning. Areas of low clouds are expected to
produce MVFR and localized IFR conditions behind the front across
the far northeast and east central plains, and more of the
southeast plains, late tonight through much of Saturday morning.
Saturday afternoon and evening, scattered to isolated showers and
thunderstorms are forecast over northern and eastern areas. Some
storms are likely to produce large hail, damaging winds, and
perhaps an isolated tornado over southeast areas. Meanwhile, some cells
over the continental divide region Saturday afternoon will be
capable of producing dry microbursts with localized and erratic
wind gusts up to 45 kt. Saturday night, low clouds with MVFR and
IFR conditions look to become widespread east of the central
mountain chain, where thunderstorms will probably also linger.
