Issued at 1101 AM MDT Wed May 8 2024
VFR conditions are expected to prevail for KALS and KPUB, and mostly
for KCOS, throughout the forecast period. Winds will be mainly
influenced synoptically due to troughing over the region, and could
be rather gusty out of the W-NW for all terminals this afternoon.
FROPA will occur at KCOS around 20Z and at KPUB around 23Z, although
this may occur a little sooner, in which winds will switch to a
NE`ly direction at both terminals. There will be some increasing
lower decks for all sites towards the end of the forecast period at
KCOS and KPUB, and will likely become MVFR criteria at KCOS sometime
after 10Z with lower CIGs and BR, remaining that way throughout the
rest of the forecast period. At KPUB, CIGs will come down to MVFR
criteria after 13Z. -Stewey

Issued at 1116 AM MDT Wed May 8 2024
Rain/snow chances occur at all sites today. MVFR to occasional IFR
conditions expected with precipitation, with mainly MVFR cloud
ceilings. KCOD sees rain through the TAF period, with heavier
showers passing through at times, which could bring IFR conditions;
the best chances for these will be overnight. A heavier push of
showers moves through KJAC and KRKS this afternoon and evening,
later for KRKS. This push would bring the best chances for IFR
conditions. There is some uncertainty with how long precipitation
lasts overnight, for the sites with rain/snow chances overnight.
WIll have to reevaluate for future TAF issuances as guidance
currently has mixed opinions. Upslope favors prolonged chances at
KLND and KRIW.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 516 AM MDT Wed May 8 2024
VFR conditions with gusty winds to start the 12Z TAF period. As
rain/snow showers begin to move in from the northwest this
evening, CIGS and potentially VIS will drop to MVFR and IFR.
Overall it should remain MVFR unless a shower moves directly
over a TAF terminal, then it may briefly drop to IFR. Showers
are most likely to impact KRWL, KLAR, KCDR, and KAIA, remaining
in the vicinity of KCYS and KBFF. Showers will begin to taper
off early Thursday morning between 09Z and 12Z.

VFR conditions prevail through a majority of the period across
western and north central Nebraska. Scattered rain showers will
be possible across northwest and north central Nebraska,
including KVTN. Confidence remains too low on specific impacts
to the terminal at this time, thus will use VCSH for a period
this afternoon into the evening. Winds will continue out of the
north and northwest through the period with gusts 20 to 30kts
across southwest and south central Nebraska through sunset,
other locations remaining at 12kts or less. Ceilings will begin
to low to MVFR/IFR across northwest and northern Nebraska early
Thursday morning, impacting KVTN.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the 18Z TAF period.
Winds will be either north to northeasterly or westerly as a
surface high to the northeast in KS competes with a surface low
in northeastern NM. KDHT and KAMA may see the winds shift out of
the west with some gust as high as 25 to 30 kts, mainly between
21Z and about 02Z Thursday. Then the cold front with the high
pressure in the north will surge south bringing northerly winds
around 10 to 15 kts for all terminals. Winds will eventually veer
to the east toward the end of this TAF period.

Relatively lighter winds give way to stronger westerlies again by
mid to late morning to noon most areas. Winds will generally gust
20 to 30 kts with the strongest gusts of 35 to 40 kts focusing
around the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Central
Highlands areas, including KLVS. Westerly winds subside after
sunset, replaced by a backdoor cold front swooping through eastern
NM.
