Issued at 415 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025 Fog and low clouds will persist in the Denver area this morning. IFR conditions will prevail, but there will be areas of LIFR ceilings. Thicker fog with visibilities below a mile now looks unlikely. A cold front will pass between 15z and 17z with north winds gusting to around 25 knots. This will likely (70%) break up the low clouds with MVFR conditions prevailing behind the front. Snow will redevelop though, with areas of IFR conditions again after 19z. Snow accumulations in the Denver area are expected to be an inch or less and mainly on grassy areas. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 041255Z AUTO 05004KT 10SM CLR M07/M15 A3003 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 041235Z AUTO 04004KT 10SM CLR M07/M15 A3002 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 041215Z AUTO 35005KT 10SM CLR M07/M15 A3000 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 041255Z 34009KT 10SM SCT010 M03/M05 A3003 RMK AO2A SLP190 T10341054 METAR KAFF 041155Z 34008KT 10SM FEW008 M04/M06 A2999 RMK AO2A SLP176 T10441061 11006 21044 52024 METAR KAFF 041055Z AUTO 34008KT 10SM CLR M04/M07 A2996 RMK AO2 SLP159 T10381071 KCOS 041140Z 0412/0512 36006KT P6SM SCT100 FM041500 01012G23KT P6SM SCT035 BKN040 FM041800 01020G30KT P6SM BKN030 OVC040 FM042300 02020G30KT P6SM VCSH BKN030 OVC040 FM050200 02020G30KT P6SM VCSH BKN010 OVC015 FM050600 36015G25KT P6SM VCSH BKN015 OVC020 METAR KCOS 041254Z 25004KT 10SM BKN200 M02/M06 A3005 RMK AO2 SLP191 T10221061 $ METAR KCOS 041154Z 35004KT 10SM BKN210 M04/M07 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP177 T10391067 10006 21039 53023 $ METAR KCOS 041054Z 03006KT 10SM SCT230 M02/M07 A2997 RMK AO2 PRESRR SLP156 T10171067 $ METAR KABH 041255Z AUTO 34009KT 10SM OVC180 M02/M03 A3004 RMK AO2 SLP188 T10191035 METAR KABH 041155Z AUTO 35003KT 10SM OVC200 M03/M05 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP178 T10341050 11008 21042 52024 METAR KABH 041055Z AUTO 15003KT 10SM BKN190 M04/M05 A2999 RMK AO2 SLP170 T10371051 METAR KFLY 041255Z AUTO 36013KT 10SM CLR M03/M05 A3003 RMK AO2 T10321046 METAR KFLY 041235Z AUTO 36010KT 10SM CLR M03/M05 A3003 RMK AO2 T10341048 METAR KFLY 041215Z AUTO 36010KT 10SM CLR M03/M05 A3002 RMK AO2 T10341046 KFCS 041200Z 0412/0518 35009KT 9999 SCT100 QNH2995INS BECMG 0417/0418 04015G25KT 9999 VCSH OVC030 620309 520009 QNH3008INS TEMPO 0421/0502 9000 -SHRA OVC015 620159 BECMG 0501/0502 04020G30KT 3200 -SHSN BKN005 OVC015 620059 520009 QNH3018INS BECMG 0505/0506 04015G25KT 9999 VCSH OVC015 620159 QNH3027INS BECMG 0510/0511 04012G18KT 9999 -SHSN BKN005 OVC015 620059 QNH3031INS BECMG 0514/0515 04012G18KT 9999 VCSH BKN030 620309 QNH3036INS TX06/0420Z TNM03/0412Z METAR KFCS 041255Z AUTO 34009KT 10SM SCT180 M02/M06 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP195 T10201060 METAR KFCS 041155Z AUTO 01004KT 10SM FEW190 M03/M07 A3000 RMK AO2 SLPNO T10291069 10016 21039 52023 METAR KFCS 041055Z AUTO 14007KT 10SM CLR M03/M07 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP177 T10331075 KPUB 041140Z 0412/0512 VRB05KT P6SM SCT100 FM041600 03010G20KT P6SM BKN030 OVC035 FM041800 04015G25KT P6SM BKN030 OVC035 FM042100 04020G30KT P6SM VCSH BKN030 OVC035 FM050100 04020G30KT P6SM VCSH BKN010 OVC015 FM050700 03013G23KT P6SM VCSH BKN025 OVC030 METAR KPUB 041253Z 29005KT 10SM CLR 00/M04 A3005 RMK AO2 SLP168 T00001039 METAR KPUB 041153Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 01/M04 A3002 RMK AO2 SLP157 T00061039 10033 21017 53017 METAR KPUB 041053Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR M01/M04 A3000 RMK AO2 SLP151 T10111044 METAR KVTP 041255Z AUTO 09003KT 10SM CLR M07/M14 A3011 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 041235Z AUTO 09003KT 10SM CLR M07/M13 A3010 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 041215Z AUTO 08004KT 10SM CLR M06/M14 A3010 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 041254Z AUTO 29005KT 10SM OVC008 M01/M06 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP145 T10061056 SPECI KTAD 041233Z AUTO 26007KT 10SM OVC009 M01/M07 A3002 RMK AO2 T10111067 SPECI KTAD 041223Z AUTO 27004KT 10SM OVC010 M01/M06 A3001 RMK AO2 T10061061 METAR KLAA 041253Z AUTO 06006KT 10SM FEW120 03/02 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP146 T00330022 METAR KLAA 041153Z AUTO 07005KT 10SM CLR 03/02 A2998 RMK AO2 PRESRR SLP143 70026 T00280022 10072 20028 51020 METAR KLAA 041053Z AUTO 18005KT 10SM CLR 04/03 A2995 RMK AO2 SLP133 T00390028 METAR KSPD 041256Z AUTO 32008KT 04/03 A3000 RMK AO1 SLP142 T00440028 METAR KSPD 041156Z AUTO 18004KT 06/04 A2997 RMK AO1 SLP127 70001 T00610044 10061 20056 53009 METAR KSPD 041056Z AUTO 19010KT 06/04 A2995 RMK AO1 SLP118 T00610044 Sunrise/Sunset for 04/04/2025 Burlington - 06:27:50 MDT / 19:15:59 MDT Pueblo - 06:38:01 MDT / 19:24:35 MDT Lamar - 06:30:08 MDT / 19:16:26 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 04/04/25 12:56 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 25000 FT MSL...207/083 24000 FT MSL...203/080 23000 FT MSL...210/072 21000 FT MSL...220/056 20000 FT MSL...215/058 7100 FT MSL...021/014 7000 FT MSL...042/012 6400 FT MSL...017/016 6000 FT MSL...026/018 5900 FT MSL...036/015 5700 FT MSL...028/018 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 1148 UTC Friday, April 4, 2025 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 545 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025 KCOS, KPUB, and KALS: VFR conditions early in this TAF period will drop to MVFR to IFR conditions as clouds quickly drop during the day, and as rain and snow showers develop during the afternoon, and become more widespread tonight. Winds will increase during the day and remain relatively gusty heading into Saturday morning, especially for KPUB and KCOS as a front starts to push southward early in the day. While more persistent snow is expected for KALS, confidence is less for KCOS and KPUB given the effects of strong downsloping winds. These two TAF sites will may frequently fluctuate between being impacted by showers and having dry conditions over the terminal site during most of this TAF period. * * * * * Northwest Colorado * * * * * METAR KCAG 041253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM SCT042 OVC050 M06/M07 A3005 RMK AO2 SLP209 T10561072 METAR KCAG 041153Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR M08/M10 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP207 70004 T10781100 11039 21078 52008 METAR KCAG 041053Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR M07/M09 A3002 RMK AO2 SLP203 T10721094 METAR KSBS 041255Z AUTO 28003KT 10SM OVC049 M05/M05 A3002 RMK AO1 T10501050 METAR KSBS 041235Z AUTO 12003KT 10SM OVC049 M05/M05 A3002 RMK AO1 T10471047 METAR KSBS 041215Z AUTO 09005KT 10SM OVC047 M05/M05 A3002 RMK AO1 T10481048 METAR KC07 041255Z AUTO 00000KT 4SM -SN OVC013 M09/M09 A3000 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 041235Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM -SN OVC013 M09/M09 A2999 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 041215Z AUTO 00000KT 7SM -SN OVC011 M09/M09 A2999 RMK AO2 METAR K33V 041255Z AUTO 31006KT 10SM SCT008 M13/M15 A3005 RMK AO1 METAR K33V 041235Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR M11/M12 A3004 RMK AO1 METAR K33V 041215Z AUTO 08003KT 10SM SCT035 M11/M13 A3003 RMK AO1 METAR KEEO 041253Z AUTO 10003KT 10SM BKN038 OVC049 M03/M06 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP185 T10281056 METAR KEEO 041153Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM SCT055 OVC070 M03/M04 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP174 60000 70008 I6000 T10331044 11017 21044 53004 METAR KEEO 041053Z AUTO 06004KT 10SM FEW044 BKN055 OVC070 M03/M04 A3000 RMK AO2 SLP170 T10331044 METAR K20V 041255Z AUTO 19004KT 10SM OVC019 M06/M13 A3007 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 041235Z AUTO 20003KT 10SM OVC019 M06/M13 A3006 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 041215Z AUTO 23003KT 10SM BKN019 OVC036 M06/M12 A3006 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 041255Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC034 M08/M10 A3008 RMK AO2 T10801104 METAR KGNB 041234Z AUTO 12003KT 10SM OVC032 M08/M10 A3008 RMK AO2 T10781105 METAR KGNB 041215Z AUTO 10003KT 10SM -SN OVC032 M08/M11 A3007 RMK AO2 T10841108 METAR KC99 041255Z AUTO 14004KT 10SM CLR M11/M15 A3001 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 041235Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR M10/M15 A2999 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 041215Z AUTO 29003KT 10SM CLR M10/M15 A2999 RMK AO2 KGJT 041140Z 0412/0512 VRB05KT P6SM OVC028 FM041600 12005KT P6SM FEW110 SCT250 FM041800 32007KT P6SM SCT060 BKN100 FM042200 35011G20KT P6SM SCT060 BKN080 FM050000 04012G25KT P6SM SCT060 BKN080 FM050600 04006KT P6SM SCT050 BKN120 METAR KGJT 041253Z 14003KT 10SM OVC060 02/M01 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP166 T00171006 METAR KGJT 041153Z 11004KT 10SM FEW028 OVC055 01/00 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP162 60000 7//// T00110000 10022 20006 53007 SPECI KGJT 041144Z AUTO 10004KT 10SM FEW028 OVC055 01/00 A3000 RMK AO2 T00110000 KRIL 041140Z 0412/0512 VRB02KT P6SM SCT001 OVC060 TEMPO 0412/0416 1/4SM FZFG OVC001 FM041600 VRB03KT P6SM FEW060 FM041900 35005KT P6SM VCSH SCT040 BKN060 FM042300 36011G19KT P6SM VCSH SCT040 BKN060 FM050200 01006KT P6SM SCT030 BKN070 FM050600 VRB04KT P6SM FEW060 SCT100 METAR KRIL 041253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC065 M03/M05 A3005 RMK AO2 SLP187 T10331050 METAR KRIL 041153Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC060 M04/M06 A3002 RMK AO2 SLP178 70002 I1001 I6002 T10391061 10006 21044 53008 SPECI KRIL 041126Z AUTO 11004KT 10SM FEW001 OVC060 M04/M06 A3001 RMK AO2 I1001 T10441056 METAR K5SM 041255Z AUTO 10SM SCT001 M11/M13 A3003 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 041235Z AUTO 10SM OVC001 M11/M12 A3002 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 041215Z AUTO 10SM SCT001 M11/M13 A3002 RMK AO2 KEGE 041140Z 0412/0512 VRB03KT P6SM BKN029 FM041400 VRB05KT P6SM SCT030 SCT060 FM041800 25005KT P6SM VCSH SCT030 BKN060 FM042300 07009KT P6SM VCSH SCT030 OVC050 FM050200 05009KT P6SM SCT035 OVC050 FM050600 14005KT P6SM SCT050 METAR KEGE 041256Z AUTO 06004KT 10SM OVC037 M05/M06 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP197 T10501061 FZRANO SPECI KEGE 041222Z AUTO 08005KT 10SM OVC035 M05/M06 A3006 RMK AO2 FZRANO METAR KEGE 041156Z AUTO 09005KT 10SM OVC029 M04/M06 A3006 RMK AO2 SLP187 60000 T10441056 11022 21056 53008 FZRANO KASE 041140Z 0412/0512 21007KT P6SM FEW060 SCT130 FM041900 33007KT P6SM VCSH FEW035 BKN050 FM042100 36007KT 2SM -SHSN BR OVC025 FM050100 12006KT P6SM VCSH BKN025 OVC035 FM050700 13005KT P6SM FEW050 SCT070 METAR KASE 041253Z 19005KT 10SM CLR M09/M13 A3002 RMK AO2 SLP173 T10891133 METAR KASE 041153Z AUTO 21006KT 10SM CLR M09/M13 A3000 RMK AO2 SLP163 T10891133 11039 21094 53005 METAR KASE 041053Z AUTO 20006KT 10SM CLR M09/M13 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP156 T10891128 METAR KCCU 041255Z AUTO 07004KT 10SM CLR M10/M13 A2999 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 041235Z AUTO 03003KT 10SM CLR M10/M13 A2998 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 041215Z AUTO 10SM CLR M10/M13 A2998 RMK AO2 METAR KLXV 041253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR M18/M21 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP194 T11781206 METAR KLXV 041153Z AUTO 14005KT 10SM CLR M15/M18 A3001 RMK AO2 SLP173 70009 T11501183 11139 21178 53006 METAR KLXV 041053Z AUTO 01003KT 10SM CLR M17/M20 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP165 T11671200 Sunrise/Sunset for 04/04/2025 Rangely -

Showers are expected to gradually taper mid-to-late morning, before scattered rain showers redevelop once again this afternoon, roughly between 20-03z. Light northwesterly winds prevail this morning, increasing roughly after 18z with gusts around 20 knots into the evening. .REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Other than light, lake enhanced showers south of the Great Salt Lake this morning, conditions are expected to remain dry areawide through roughly 18z. Scattered showers are expected to increase in coverage across Utah and southwest Wyoming thereafter, with some isolated thunderstorms possible through 03z. Any storms that develop will be capable of producing brief heavy rainfall, gusty and erratic outflow winds, and mountain obscuration. Otherwise, light winds this morning are expected to increase out of the north for all regional terminals this afternoon, with winds remaining elevated across southwest Utah into Saturday. * * * * * Wyoming * * * * * KEVW 041128Z 0412/0512 32005KT P6SM SCT040 BKN060 FM041800 07015G24KT P6SM VCSH BKN040 PROB30 0418/0424 5SM -SHSN SCT020 BKN030 FM050300 02008KT P6SM BKN040= METAR KEVW 041253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM FEW050 BKN065 OVC110 M04/M06 A3007 RMK AO2 SLP201 T10441061 METAR KEVW 041153Z AUTO 32003KT 10SM CLR M04/M06 A3005 RMK AO2 SLP190 70002 T10441061 11033 21050 53011 $ METAR KEVW 041053Z AUTO 31003KT 10SM OVC070 M04/M06 A3004 RMK AO2 SLP184 T10391061 $ KRKS 041120Z 0412/0512 06015G25KT P6SM FEW030 BKN060 PROB30 0412/0416 4SM -SHSN BKN018 FM050500 07010KT P6SM FEW080 METAR KRKS 041254Z AUTO 05015G21KT 10SM BKN013 BKN033 M03/M05 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP202 T10331050 SPECI KRKS 041246Z AUTO 05013KT 10SM FEW012 BKN031 M03/M05 A3008 RMK AO2 T10331050 METAR KRKS 041154Z AUTO 05009KT 10SM FEW012 OVC023 M03/M04 A3006 RMK AO2 SLP187 T10281044 11006 21050 53018 KRWL 041203Z 0412/0512 34015KT 3SM -SN BR OVC015 FM041500 04015G25KT 2SM -SN OVC020 FM042000 05015G25KT P6SM VCSH OVC030 FM050200 05013KT P6SM BKN035 METAR KRWL 041253Z AUTO 01006KT 9SM -SN BKN014 OVC027 M04/M08 A3009 RMK AO2 SNB43 SLP198 P0000 T10391078 METAR KRWL 041153Z AUTO 34009KT 10SM BKN013 OVC023 M04/M07 A3005 RMK AO2 SNE38 SLP183 P0000 60000 T10391067 11011 21039 53017 METAR KRWL 041053Z AUTO 34014KT 3SM -SN BR SCT017 OVC024 M04/M06 A3002 RMK AO2 SLP177 P0000 T10391061 KLAR 041300Z 0413/0512 VRB05KT 2SM -SN BKN010 OVC035 FM041500 01015KT 4SM -SN BKN010 FM041600 02015G25KT 3SM -SN OVC015 FM041800 04020G30KT 1SM -SN BKN025 FM042100 05015G25KT P6SM VCSH BKN015 FM050200 05010KT P6SM BKN035 SPECI KLAR 041303Z AUTO 14003KT 1 3/4SM -SN FEW008 BKN027 OVC046 M05/M08 A3004 RMK AO2 P0000 T10501078 SPECI KLAR 041255Z AUTO 00000KT 2 1/2SM -SN SCT009 BKN034 OVC046 M05/M08 A3003 RMK AO2 P0000 T10501078 METAR KLAR 041253Z AUTO 00000KT 4SM -SN SCT009 BKN027 OVC046 M05/M08 A3003 RMK AO2 SNB35 SLP186 P0000 T10501078 KCYS 041201Z 0412/0512 33007KT P6SM OVC015 FM041600 36015G25KT P6SM VCSH OVC015 FM041800 01020G30KT 4SM -SN BKN025 FM042100 01015G25KT P6SM VCSH BKN015 FM050200 36010KT P6SM BKN045 METAR KCYS 041253Z 02006KT 10SM BKN024 M03/M05 A3007 RMK AO2 SLP217 T10331050 SPECI KCYS 041243Z 04005KT 10SM FEW014 BKN024 M02/M04 A3006 RMK AO2 T10221044 SPECI KCYS 041236Z 02006KT 10SM SCT014 SCT026 M02/M04 A3005 RMK AO2 T10171039 Riverton (KRIW) 04/04/25 12:59 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 27000 FT MSL...209/003 22000 FT MSL...281/004 14000 FT MSL...274/009 13000 FT MSL...238/005 12700 FT MSL...231/004 10000 FT MSL...090/002 10000 FT MSL...084/003 9000 FT MSL...059/007 9000 FT MSL...057/007 8200 FT MSL...053/009 8000 FT MSL...052/010 7400 FT MSL...045/012 7000 FT MSL...038/015 6700 FT MSL...035/013 6200 FT MSL...029/018 6000 FT MSL...024/018 6000 FT MSL...027/018 Cheyenne (KCYS) 04/04/25 12:49 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 15000 FT MSL...249/002 14100 FT MSL...280/005 14000 FT MSL...280/004 13000 FT MSL...351/008 12400 FT MSL...002/010 12000 FT MSL...013/016 11000 FT MSL...015/015 10700 FT MSL...020/012 10000 FT MSL...018/016 9000 FT MSL...014/020 8900 FT MSL...014/019 8000 FT MSL...007/025 7400 FT MSL...001/015 7100 FT MSL...005/023 7000 FT MSL...002/014 6600 FT MSL...002/020 Riverton Aviation Discussion Issued at 1111 UTC Friday, April 4, 2025 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 511 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025 Snow chances continue through about the first 6 hours of the TAF period, with upslope favoring the KLND/KRIW area, as well as KCPR. Otherwise, snow showers are more scattered for other sites. Flight conditions will range from VFR to IFR with snow and snow showers. Clouds will slowly erode through the afternoon, with lingering MVFR ceilings, even after snow has ended. VFR conditions expected at all sites by the end of the period. Models are indicating some increased snow shower chances around KBPI/KPNA and KJAC this afternoon. This would be more of a `hit or miss` scenario, so PROB30 groups were included in those TAFs. Slightly higher confidence at KPNA has resulted in a prevailing group. Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts. Cheyenne Aviation Discussion Issued at 1146 UTC Friday, April 4, 2025 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 545 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025 A cold front will push through this morning creating some light snow showers through the early afternoon. After 19z the snow showers will start to stop moving from north to south. By 00z the snow shower should have stopped at all terminals with the exception at KRWL which may have light snow persist until 01z. There will be winds behind this front up gusts up to 30-35kts peaking in the afternoon. By 02z the wind gusts should be over and sustained winds between 10 to 15 kts are favored until 06z when winds will drop below 10kts for the Nebraska Panhandle and possibly KCYS and KLAR. * * * * * Nebraska * * * * * METAR KIBM 041255Z AUTO 01006KT 3/4SM BR OVC004 00/00 A3011 RMK AO2 VIS 1/2V2 1/2 T10011003 METAR KIBM 041235Z AUTO 03007KT 10SM SCT023 M01/M02 A3008 RMK AO2 T10081019 METAR KIBM 041215Z AUTO 34004KT 10SM SCT023 00/M01 A3007 RMK AO2 T10011012 KSNY 041226Z 0412/0512 34009KT P6SM OVC005 FM041500 35015G25KT 2SM -SN OVC003 FM042000 01020G30KT P6SM OVC015 FM050200 01013KT P6SM BKN040 METAR KSNY 041253Z AUTO 34007KT 8SM FEW006 OVC014 01/01 A3007 RMK AO2 SLP205 T00110011 SPECI KSNY 041251Z AUTO 34006KT 8SM SCT006 OVC014 01/01 A3007 RMK AO2 SPECI KSNY 041218Z AUTO 34008KT 8SM OVC005 01/01 A3006 RMK AO2 CIG 002V009 T00110011 METAR KOGA 041255Z AUTO 32005KT 10SM SCT012 OVC035 04/03 A3009 RMK AO2 T00350028 METAR KOGA 041235Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC012 04/03 A3008 RMK AO2 T00350025 METAR KOGA 041215Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM BKN012 BKN029 OVC035 03/03 A3007 RMK AO2 T00330028 METAR KIML 041253Z AUTO 32007KT 10SM OVC013 04/03 A3007 RMK AO2 SLP198 T00390028 METAR KIML 041153Z AUTO 31006KT 10SM OVC011 04/03 A3004 RMK AO2 SLP187 60035 70075 T00390033 10044 20028 51017 METAR KIML 041053Z AUTO 30004KT 10SM OVC010 04/03 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP184 T00390033 KMCK 041120Z 0412/0512 16007KT P6SM OVC006 TEMPO 0412/0414 4SM BR FM041400 16005KT 6SM BR OVC005 TEMPO 0414/0418 2SM -SHRA FM042100 01013KT P6SM OVC009 PROB30 0422/0502 3SM -SHRA FM050200 01021G34KT P6SM BKN009 FM050900 01012G22KT P6SM SCT009 BKN060 METAR KMCK 041253Z AUTO 17009KT 6SM BR OVC005 07/06 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP194 T00670061 METAR KMCK 041153Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM OVC007 07/06 A3004 RMK AO2 SLP179 70018 T00720061 10083 20067 53010 METAR KMCK 041053Z AUTO 17006KT 10SM OVC009 07/06 A3004 RMK AO2 CIG 006V010 SLP178 T00720061 North Platte (KLNX) 04/04/25 12:58 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 15000 FT MSL...193/015 14200 FT MSL...217/013 14000 FT MSL...211/013 13000 FT MSL...210/011 12000 FT MSL...183/009 12000 FT MSL...189/009 11000 FT MSL...165/010 10100 FT MSL...165/010 10000 FT MSL...161/010 9000 FT MSL...270/006 8600 FT MSL...275/007 8000 FT MSL...313/021 7400 FT MSL...292/014 7000 FT MSL...272/014 6300 FT MSL...279/013 6000 FT MSL...229/012 5500 FT MSL...250/010 5000 FT MSL...244/009 4700 FT MSL...246/009 4100 FT MSL...242/007 4000 FT MSL...255/005 3600 FT MSL...353/006 3400 FT MSL...020/006 North Platte Aviation Discussion Issued at 1119 UTC Friday, April 4, 2025 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...

Issued at 512 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025 IFR to LIFR conditions are forecast for the majority of the TAF period. Fog, dense at times is forecast to continue for KGLD with a lesser chance for dense at KMCK through around 15Z. Increasing potential for showers at KMCK is forecast at times throughout the day. More of the hit or miss variety of showers is possible at KGLD but due to the hit and miss nature of them felt a PROB30 would be more representative. Winds are forecast to increase through the evening as an 850mb jet moves through the area along with drier air, with VFR conditions returning for the last few hours of the period, although some low clouds may remain. Dodge City Aviation Discussion Issued at 1051 UTC Friday, April 4, 2025 .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 548 AM CDT Fri Apr 4 2025 Areas of light rain will overspread southwest Kansas this morning, mainly affecting DDC to HYS terminals. Widespread low stratus continued to expand with ceilings below 1000 feet (IFR category), and latest trends in the HRRR model suggest IFR ceilings will likely persist much of the day, so the 12Z TAF reflects are more pessimistic forecast with IFR hanging on longer, if not the entire day. Winds will be fairly light out of the east/northeast much of the day, but a strong wind shift to the north will occur toward the latter portion of this TAF period later tonight with 20 to 25 knot sustained north wind and gusts to 35 knots possible. * * * * * Texas/Oklahoma * * * * * KGUY 041140Z 0412/0512 16005KT 6SM BR OVC008 FM041700 11006KT P6SM BKN020 FM050200 05011KT 6SM -SNRA OVC005 FM050900 01018KT 3SM -SN OVC005= METAR KGUY 041253Z AUTO 00000KT 7SM -RA OVC048 07/06 A2998 RMK AO2 SLP139 P0002 T00720061 METAR KGUY 041153Z AUTO 14007KT 10SM -RA SCT008 SCT011 OVC050 07/06 A2998 RMK AO2 RAB27 SLP137 P0000 60000 70005 T00720061 10083 20072 53003 METAR KGUY 041053Z AUTO 13004KT 10SM OVC008 07/06 A2995 RMK AO2 RAB15E26 SLP130 P0000 T00720056 KDHT 041140Z 0412/0512 12006KT 6SM BR OVC050 TEMPO 0412/0415 4SM -SHRA OVC008 FM041600 14007KT P6SM OVC025 FM050100 08010KT 3SM -SNRA OVC005 FM050900 01019G26KT 3SM -SN OVC005 METAR KDHT 041253Z AUTO VRB03KT 5SM -RA BR BKN049 OVC060 07/05 A2998 RMK AO2 RAB19 SLP134 P0000 T00670050 METAR KDHT 041153Z AUTO 07004KT 5SM BR SCT050 OVC110 07/05 A2998 RMK AO2 PRESRR SLP132 T00670050 10072 20061 53013 SPECI KDHT 041108Z AUTO 09007KT 6SM BR FEW004 FEW080 OVC100 07/05 A2995 RMK AO2 T00670050 $ Amarillo (KAMA) 04/04/25 12:59 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 22000 FT MSL...198/069 20000 FT MSL...198/082 19000 FT MSL...198/075 18000 FT MSL...201/079 17600 FT MSL...202/084 17000 FT MSL...203/074 16000 FT MSL...207/074 15000 FT MSL...205/066 14900 FT MSL...206/066 14000 FT MSL...206/057 13000 FT MSL...206/041 12600 FT MSL...205/039 12000 FT MSL...206/025 11000 FT MSL...221/021 10800 FT MSL...224/017 10000 FT MSL...304/009 9200 FT MSL...315/012 9000 FT MSL...309/015 8000 FT MSL...330/015 8000 FT MSL...333/015 7000 FT MSL...346/016 7000 FT MSL...346/016 6200 FT MSL...344/014 6000 FT MSL...011/016 5400 FT MSL...011/016 5000 FT MSL...008/016 4700 FT MSL...023/013 4300 FT MSL...330/015 Amarillo Aviation Discussion Issued at 1209 UTC Friday, April 4, 2025 .AVIATION...

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 539 AM MDT Fri Apr 4 2025 The coverage of MVFR low cigs with areas of rain is increasing northward over eastern NM this morning. Upper level low pressure approaching from the west will allow the coverage of SHRA/TS to increase over more of northern and western NM thru the afternoon. A few showers will be capable of producing erratic, gusty winds with graupel or small hail. A potent cold front will then surge southwest into northeast NM before sunset and force rain over to snow with widespread IFR developing in its wake. Snow will spread south across more of eastern NM overnight with north wind gusts up to 40KT, periods of moderate to heavy snow, and blowing snow with low visibility at times. Canyon winds will also develop into the Rio Grande Valley tonight with a greater than 60% chance gusts will exceed 35KT at KABQ. East/southeast winds will shift west to the Cont Divide after midnight and allow a second area of snow to develop from near KFMN to KGUP. Widespread impacts will continue over a large portion of the airspace into Saturday. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 040000Z VALID 040600Z FOR USE 0500-0900Z.
