There is still plenty of weak convection around along with a
number of outflow boundaries. Will only keep -TSRA in a TEMPO
group at DIA until 02Z. South-southwesterly winds are already in
place at DIA this evening. Normal drainage winds will continue
overnight but speeds will be in the 7-12 knot range. There should
not be any ceiling issues this evening or overnight. Models show
another round of likely showers and thunderstorms for Wednesday
afternoon and evening.

will continue to work northward through the area, favoring
locations along the Divide. This includes KASE, KEGE, and KGUC.
These storms will produce brief heavy rain and lightning as they

also be possible. This activity should taper and shift east of
the area after midnight. Elsewhere, Mid and high level scattered
to broken skies will persist, gradually clearing after
midnight. Winds will follow typical diurnal patters, with gusty
westerly winds expected tomorrow afternoon.

A band of showers with some embedded, stronger thunderstorms
will continue to work northward through the area, favoring
locations along the Divide. This includes KASE, KEGE, and KGUC.
These storms will produce brief heavy rain and lightning as they
pass over any terminals. Erratic wind gusts up to 35 knots will
also be possible. This activity should taper and shift east of
the area after midnight. Elsewhere, Mid and high level scattered
to broken skies will persist, gradually clearing after
midnight. Winds will follow typical diurnal patters, with gusty
westerly winds expected tomorrow afternoon.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 946 PM MDT Tue Jul 22 2025
A few light rain showers may linger tonight and will diminish by
sunrise Wednesday. More isolated to widely scattered convective
showers and thunderstorms will develop Wednesday afternoon, with at
least a 30% chance at most terminals. Terminals with less than a 30%
chance and no PROB30 groups are KJAC and KRKS. Brief reductions in
VIS to MVFR will be possible with the strongest storms at KCOD and
KWRL.
A front has pushed south into central Wyoming this evening and this
has brought a north wind to KCPR, which will remain through the TAF
period. The front will stall during the day Wednesday, but should
progress southwest to KRIW, KLND, and KRKS Wednesday evening into
Wednesday night, with wind becoming more northerly once it makes it
to each terminal. Wind will increase Wednesday afternoon for most
terminals with gusts of 20-25 knots subsiding around 02Z Wednesday
evening.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Issued at 615 PM CDT Tue Jul 22 2025
Outside of convection, VFR conditions are expected through the
forecast period.
Main concerns will focus on the threat for thunderstorms tonight
and again Wednesday afternoon. For tonight...low-leve focus for
development is currently invof GRN/CDR/AIA area with expectation
that any activity will track east. The environment is not overly
supportive of sustained convection so do not anticipate impacts
from this round. Tonight, broad warm advection will drive
overnight activity across mainly central Nebraska but impacts at
LBF/VTN are possible. Confidence in direct impacts are low so
will cover with a VCTS mention for now in the early morning
hours.
Then for the daytime Wednesday, a surface boundary will stall
across the Sandhills and could potentially lead to at least
isolated convection as early as late morning. Believe this
threat is greatest across northern Nebraska and so have
introduced a VCTS at VTN with a couple hour lag for LBF. Have
covered more robust convection at both terminals with a PROB30
as precise placement of the surface boundary and resulting
convective initiation is somewhat in question. Potential
magnitude of impacts is greatest at LBF and could persist beyond
the end of the valid forecast period but confidence in this is
limited.

VFR conditions forecast for the TAFs. KGLD may have
thunderstorms near the site, but not over the site in the next
couple of hours. KMCK should remain storm free. Am expecting the
storms currently well to the south to end as they move north
into a more stable environment.

VFR conditions are forecast at all sites. Isolated showers or
storms are possible at the terminals for a few more hours this
evening, but confidence is not high enough to mention in the TAFs.
Amendments may be necessary should a storm approach a site.
Otherwise, mid level clouds should remain in place across much of
the region with breezy to gusty winds out of the south.

Storms across much of central and eastern NM will move slowly and
erratically this evening. Brief heavy downpours may reduce
visibility to MVFR or IFR levels at times, but significant
visibility reductions should brief. Small hail, frequent
lightning, and gusty outflow winds of 30 to 40KT will be the main
threats. Shower and storm activity will linger longest overnight
across central and southern NM with most activity likely
dissipating at around 09Z. Another crop of showers and storms
develop across the southwest and northern mountains midday
Wednesday with a more progressive motion to the east-northeast.
Coverage is expected to be lower compared to today with KSAF and
KLVS seeing higher chances for impacts from storm activity.
