KCOS and KPUB: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours.
Northerly to northeasterly winds are expected to develop early in
the TAF period and persist through tomorrow evening. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected to develop along the mountains tomorrow
afternoon, some of which may impact KCOS as they push off the
Ramparts. As for KPUB, dry conditions are expected to prevail,
though an isolated shower or thunderstorm can not be ruled out early
to mid afternoon tomorrow. Gusty winds and frequent lightning can be
expected with any more organized convection. Otherwise, mid to high
level clouds will persist through this TAF period, with some
thinning in coverage tomorrow morning.
KALS: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. Variable
winds overnight will slightly increase tomorrow afternoon, though

near the terminal. Following the southerlies prevailing around

Riverton Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 958 PM MDT Thu Jul 3 2025
Mid and high clouds continue to stream northward across the
region tonight. Showers have largely decreased in coverage, but
places like KCPR and KJAC will continue to see shower and
perhaps a lightning strike or two in the area into the overnight
hours. Winds have largely decreased across the region.
Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will sweep across
the state from the west tomorrow, starting in the late morning
in the west, and continuing for much of the day and evening.
Thunderstorms will not be constant, hence the PROB30 groups,
but they should be a consideration at all airports tomorrow
afternoon and evening. Lightning, heavy rain, and gusty outflow
winds will be the primary aviation weather threats from these
storms.

Clouds will increase early Friday morning with broken ceilings
ranging from 6000 to 9000 FT AGL. There will be an increased
threat for thunderstorms Friday afternoon and will handle this
with a tempo group from 18z to 22z for both terminals as
confidence is highest for storm impacts. Cloud decks INVOF
thunderstorms should range from 4000 to 5000 FT AGL. Winds will
generally be southerly or south-southwesterly over the next 24
hours with speeds ranging from 10 to 20 KTS.

Moisture is forecast to increase across the area overnight
which as a result will increase clouds across the area with an
increasing signal for low stratus developing for each terminal.
Do think there is a potential for some showers and perhaps a low
(15-20%) chance for a rogue lightning strike starting at KGLD
around 12Z and 17Z. Due to weak CAPE confidence is not there to
put any thunder/lightning mention in the TAF at this time. The
main question is how long will the stratus hold on as this will
affect the coverage for afternoon and evening storms so will
introduce a PROB30 for each site for afternoon/evening storms. A
moist airmass is in place so if a storm where to impact a
terminal visibilities have a high probability of falling to IFR
conditions or even perhaps lower. Another round of storms is
possible towards the latter portion of the period but may be a
little dependent on how the afternoon convection pans out so
will hold off for now for this TAF period.

Diurnal cooling and moisture advection from the south will
result in low MVFR CIGS by 09-11z at KDDC/KGCK and KLBL.
The cloud deck will rise to VFR by 18z with daytime heating.
Thunderstorms may affect the TAF sites after 20z as a weak upper
level disturbance approaches. Winds will remain out of the south
and increase to 15-18 kts with afternoon heating.

Low clouds continue to affect all TAF sites tonight. AMA should
predominantly stay IFR until the late morning. DHT may
occasionally reach IFR, but is expected to prevail as MVFR. Low
ceilings still have not reached the GUY terminal; but once they
do, the TAF site should also drop to IFR. By this afternoon, skies
are forecast to clear out at all sites. Thunderstorms have the
best chance to affect GUY this evening, but we cannot rule a storm
or two our for DHT. Confidence simply remains too low to make
mentions in the TAF at this time.

High resolution models depict numerous showers and thunderstorms
on the eastern plains gradually shifting east of New Mexico by 08
or 09Z tonight. Meanwhile, another round of scattered showers and
thunderstorms are forecast to produce significant wind gusts as
they track eastward over western and central areas this evening.
These cells probably won`t survive the downslope flow once they
cross the central mountain chain. Much drier air will arrive from
the west late tonight and Friday with only a slight chance of
showers and thunderstorms near and east of Raton Pass, and an even
smaller chance around Glenwood.
