Moisture is beginning to infiltrate the region, leading to more
mid and high level clouds at this hour. This cloud cover will
persist through the period. A chance of showers and
thunderstorms over the southern and central mountians has the
potential to impact KTEX and KDRO, with gusty and erratic winds
and lightning the main concerns. Additionally, smoke from the
nearby Derby fire will lead to periods of reduced visibility at
KEGE and KASE through the period. Winds will be generally light
and terrain driven. VFR conditions will prevail, although
periods of MVFR conditions will be possible due to smoke or
passing showers or storms.

Flagstaff Aviation Discussion
Issued at 0500 UTC Thursday, August 21, 2025
.AVIATION...Thursday 21/06Z through Friday 22/06Z...Mainly VFR
conditions expected through the TAF period. Brief MVFR conditions
possible near SHRA/TSRA, but only very isolated activity remains
overnight. Outside of storm driven outflow winds, look for light
and variable winds. Additional SHRA/TSRA expected after 18Z
Thursday, mostly along and south of a KPGA-KRQE line.
OUTLOOK...Friday 22/06Z through Sunday 24/06Z...Daily chances for
showers/storms will continue each afternoon/evening. Main hazards
will be heavy rain, small hail, gusty/erratic winds, and
lightning. Outside of storm development, look for VFR conditions
and winds 10 kts or less varying in direction.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1025 PM MDT Wed Aug 20 2025
Very light/virga showers will continue along a roughly KAFO-to-
KSHR line to start the forecast. This line will gradually shift
southward to a KEMM-to-KBYG line by 12Z. These showers will
continue through the rest of the morning, becoming more
widespread and develop into thunderstorms across areas east of
the Divide through the afternoon as a trough moves over the
area. This may eventually necessitate PROB30 groups for
KRIW/KLND/KWRL/KCPR, but low confidence precludes mentioning
this for now. These showers and storms will exit the forecast
area by the end of the TAF period. A cold front will move
through northern portions after 09Z, becoming stationary across
portions of Natrona and Fremont counties in the afternoon. A
northerly or easterly wind direction will be more predominant
for terminals east of the Divide after 00Z, as the front pushes
further south. Winds will generally stay light through the
period, with gusts 20 kt or less in the afternoon (outside of an
potential outflow boundaries).
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC
for the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Upper level high pressure will remain over the region tonight. A
relatively strong cold front for this time of the year will move
south out of Canada late in the afternoon/evening hours, with
surface winds shifting into the north and a chance for showers and
thunderstorms returning to the region.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR conditions will prevail over the next 24
hours. Winds will start out of the south or southeast this morning
and then shift into northwest and eventually northeast Thursday
afternoon and evening behind the front. There is a good chance for
thunderstorms and showers at most terminals, but high res models
greatly disagree with the timing. Added some PROB30 groups to
highlight the risk, mostly in the evening hours for the Nebraska
Panhandle terminals. Confidence remains too low for KCYS, KSNY, and
KRWL. Brief MVFR VIS possible with thunderstorms Late Thursday
afternoon through late Thursday evening.
