Issued at 1153 AM MDT Sat May 24 2025
Satellite pictures are showing the Stratus deck over DIA starting
to break starting to break up a bit at this time. Ceilings are
coming up a bit as well. Best short range model consensus is that
convection could get to DIA around 22Z, so will leave the PROB30
group in there. Models are not in agreement concerning pops
overnight at DIA. There is still the potential for fog from around
06Z to around 15Z, so will keep that in as well. Cross sections
show ceilings should be down low by 06Z and stay that way well
into Sunday. Will go with OVC012 or lower.

Issued at 1130 AM MDT Sat May 24 2025
Cigs have lifted back into VFR category over KCOS and KPUB and
will stay in the VFR category through the afternoon. KCOS could
see a strong to severe thunderstorm this afternoon and although
impacts could stay north of the terminal, the probability is
great enough for inclusion in a Prob30 group for TSRA from
22z-02z. If enough instability develops, large hail could occur
at the terminal. KPUB will likely stay too cool and stable for
thunderstorms this afternoon. Both terminals will see IFR to
LIFR cigs and vis with -SHRA, -DZ and BR spread in after 06z
with much slower improvement on Sunday.
KALS will stay VFR with breezy dry southwest winds gusting to
around 25 kts spreading into the terminal in the afternoon.
Winds will decrease this evening with a similar trend for
Sunday. -KT

.AVIATION...KSLC...Mid to high level cloud cover will persist
through the afternoon before dissipating somewhat on Sunday with VFR
conditions continuing. Westerly winds with occasional shifts to
southwesterly and perhaps southerly may continue this morning before
the diurnal lake breeze kicks in during the early afternoon hours.
Northwesterly winds should hold on through Sunday afternoon
following the transition.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will prevail
across all terminals with mid-high level cloud cover persisting
today. Winds will remain light at all northern UT and southwest WY
terminals with gusts up to 20kts this afternoon for out southern UT
sites. Additionally, there is a small chance for isolated
thunderstorms near KHCR, though probabilities appear too uncertain
and low end to include into the TAF at this time.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
At KBPI and KPNA, some isolated showers and thunderstorms are
possible (20%-40%) this afternoon. Peak chances occur between about
20z and 23z/Sat, with decreasing chances through 06z/Sun. Better
chances occur at KRKS (50%-60%). Low chances at KJAC (15%) this
afternoon, so have kept mention out of TAF.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Showers and thunderstorm will be around this afternoon, through
about midnight (06z/Sun). Models and guidance have large
disagreements currently in where and how widespread showers/storms
occur. As an overview, showers/storms will be around this afternoon,
with a 30% to 70% chance to impact a site; the focus is over central
Wyoming, so KCPR, KLND, and KRIW have the highest chances. For this
afternoon, have kept PROB30 groups to indicate storm chances
due to lack of confidence due to model disagreement mentioned
earlier. Showers/storms look most widespread after 22z/Sat, so
have prevailing and TEMPO groups to cover the evening (chances
after 23z are generally 60% to 90% for KCPR/KLND/KRIW).
Northwest winds should help upsloping at KCPR, KLND, and
possibly KRIW. Main hazards over central Wyoming with storms are
outflow winds and hail. Heaviest rain occurs after 22z/Sat, so
more likely for MVFR to brief IFR conditions with rain after
that time. Overall, low confidence in exact timing of storms,
but high confidence storms will be around.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Very messy TAF forecast as ongoing precipitation alongside new
convection going into the afternoon and low CIGs will make for
difficult forecasting across the region. Areas of thunderstorms
expected this afternoon through this evening with widespread
coverage of precipitation possible through tonight. All TAF
sites have a chance of thunderstorms, with Wyoming terminals
having the best cloud decks outside of KCYS. Otherwise KCYS and
all Nebraska terminals with continue to see mid to low ceilings
through the overnight creating IFR to LIFR conditions. Some
storms could be strong to possibly severe as well, with
localized enhancements to winds and hail possible. Overall wind
field otherwise should be manageable, with winds 10-20 knots
outside of any nearby thunderstorms.

Probabilities of MVFR flight category are the most confident
between 18Z today - 06Z Sunday (50-80%) as we will have a
mixture of low clouds and sunshine through the early evening.
After 06Z the probability of IFR and LIFR increases to 80-90%
as showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop between a
700 mb and 850 mb front and this area would include much of
southwest Kansas. In some of the heavier rain bands we could see
surface visibilities drop to 2-4 SM. After 12Z we should see
some breaks in the rain and cloud ceilings rise back to MVFR at
times however IFR probabilities are still at 50-80% especially
where the rain continues through the daytime hours. Sustained
winds will be generally 10-20 kts with gusts approaching 25 kts
at times.

VFR conditions expected to start the TAF period. MVFR/IFR cigs
should occur at KDHT/KGUY starting between 06-09Z and remain
within these levels throughout the remainder of the TAF period.
KAMA could also see sub VFR cigs, but confidence is too low to
include in TAF at this time. Winds will be variable at 5-15 kts.

High, fair weather cirrus clouds are increasing over western and
northern New Mexico and will spread to other areas through the
afternoon, but VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions will prevail
today and this evening. Breezy to windy conditions will develop
through the afternoon with gusts of 20 to 30 kt being common and
slightly higher near 35 kt in the northeast highlands. A cold
front will slide into northeast New Mexico tonight, bringing low
stratus clouds and patchy drizzle. Ceilings will drop to MVFR
(below 3,000 ft) to IFR (below 1,000ft) levels late tonight
through much of Sunday morning in northeastern and some east
central areas of New Mexico. Thunderstorms will then develop later
into the early afternoon Sunday along the Sangre de Cristos
eastward where moisture will have arrived.
