VFR conditions to start the period and throughout much of this
cycle. Some rain/snow showers around JAC but not making it on
station, keeping VCSH. This will spread to COD after 15Z with a
PROB30 group for light snow and lower but still VFR conditions.
Lower confidence at CPR (<15%), carrying VCSH at this time for
the same timeframe through 19Z. Otherwise, mid level ceilings
with a 25kt gust at RKS/CPR during peak heating between 19-02Z.
Another round of showers possible west of the Divide after 06Z
into Monday morning at JAC/BPI/PNA with lower but VFR ceilings
keeping hold in the mid levels eastward.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Fairly quiet today today, except for some isolated rain showers
that may develop around the terminals and gusty winds. Clear
skies ongoing this morning across all sites, except KRWL that is
under some low stratus. Gusty winds are expected at all
terminals by the afternoon hours, with most sites gusting
between 25 and 30kts. Mostly sunny conditions become partly
cloudy this afternoon, but ceilings should remain VFR.
Confidence is low on any of the afternoon isolated rain showers
impacting the terminals, so did not include rain for any
terminals. Winds decrease by the evening with mostly clear skies
overnight.

VFR conditions will continue to prevail across western and north
central Nebraska today and overnight. A passing surface boundary
today will cause variable wind directions across the region, however
winds generally remain around or below 10 knots. Mid level clouds
are observed on satellite this morning remaining at VFR ceilings
across the region. Clouds will continue to persist throughout the
day, however no impacts are expected to ceilings or visibility.

For KGLD... VFR conditions are forecast through the period with
clear skies after the morning hours. Winds will generally
remain from the NNW through the daytime hours, then shift to be
more from the southwest shortly after sunset. This afternoon,
there may be a few gusts that reach 15-20 kts.
For KMCK... VFR conditions are forecast through the period.
There is a 10% chance of a passing shower or storm through 15Z
as a low pressure system moves just east of the area. Winds are
forecast to be fairly light (generally below 8 kts), but vary in
direction quite a bit. The current forecast is for the direction
to become more northerly through the day with speeds maybe
reaching 10 kts in the afternoon. After 00Z, winds are forecast
to shift from out of the north, to out of the southeast, and
then to out of the southwest through the night.

Stratus and rain is anticipated to overspread the southeast
half of the area overnight into much of the day on Sunday. Light
northerly/northeasterly surface winds will prevail everywhere
as gusts to return to around 20 knots after 15z. Differences
arise in the the expectations of where the IFR/LIFR stratus
might be. Probabilities for sub 1000 ft ceilings area quite low
(10%) at Liberal and Garden City, while ramping up to 70 % for a
few hours between 13z and 19z at Hays and Dodge City. For DDC
and HYS, come reduction I VSBY into the MVFR category (3-5sm) is
likely (70% chance) however, this warm advection pattern does
not show any signal for the dense form of fog.

A weather system is still passing across the panhandles this
morning causing rain showers and thunderstorms. In addition this
weather system is producing low clouds of mainly MVFR to spotty
IFR. KGUY and KAMA are still being impacted by these for a few
more hours til the system draws away the moisture during the late
morning hours. This will cause a sharp end to any precipitation
and cloud decks for the terminals. The rest of the day and
tonight will have a high chance of being dry and sunny.

In the wake of the exiting storm system, which produced
widespread wetting rainfall across northern and central NM and
areas of snow accumulation above 6000 feet, there will be patchy
fog, freezing fog, and low clouds producing MVFR and IFR
conditions until mid morning. The most likely locations impacted
will be around Gallup and Zuni, portions of the Albuquerque metro
area (especially KAEG) northward through Santa Fe, Los Alamos,
Cuba, Chama, and Dulce, and eastward from Albuquerque across the
central mountains (locally referred to as the "East Mountains")
and east central highlands. After the fog and low clouds evaporate
this morning, dry weather and clear skies are forecast for the
remainder of the day. Some patchy fog may return to locations that
still have snow on the ground Sunday night into Monday morning,
especially the "East Mountains" and east central highlands.
