.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday/...
Issued at 1104 AM MST Tue Nov 12 2024
Enhanced southerly winds over the eastern plains have helped form
a cyclone this morning. This has brought northeasterly/easterly
winds to KDEN and light and variable winds to KAPA and KBJC. With
the approaching shortwave trough now making its way into western
Colorado, we still anticipate gusty westerly winds for this
evening as the trough draws near. With downsloping expected to
help keep the lower levels drier, we expect virga showers with
gusty outflows to develop over all TAF sites this evening. Gusts
between 25 to 35 kts will be possible as showers pass. Hi- res
models have shown some decreasing ceilings below what is in the
TAF, however, with westerly winds expected, this is not the
expected outcome, but can`t be ruled out behind the cold front
when winds will be from the north.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 421 PM MST Tue Nov 12 2024
Quick-moving upper trough crossing the state this afternoon will
bring a short-lived blast of wind-driven snow to the higher terrain,
and specifically the central mts with some snow possible across the
Pikes Peak region, and gusty winds to the eastern plains this
evening. Otherwise, VFR conditions anticipated for much of the
forecast area over the next 24 hrs, including the 3 main TAF sites
of KCOS, KPUB and KALS. IFR to LIFR conditions probable for area mt
passes through the evening due to blowing snow, lowered cigs and
vsby.
KCOS and KPUB: Southwest surface winds gusting to 25-30 kts through
03z, then mention of wind shear at 2k AGL through 06z-09z.
Afterward, lighter diurnal surface winds expected generally under 10-
12 kts.
KALS: Mid-level cig with wind shear at 2k AGL through 02z-04z, then
winds weakening to generally under 10 kts.

Issued at 1058 AM MST Tue Nov 12 2024
Visibility has improved and ceilings are beginning to lift over KEGE
this morning, but it remains below ILS breakpoints and at LIFR
conditions for the time being. Uncertainty regarding when clearing
of low stratus will occur has led to the TAF following previous
days` trends, with VFR conditions being restored around 1 PM. Region-
wide, the ongoing storm system has brought scattered showers, gusty
winds, and SCT to BKN mid-level clouds. Chances for stronger
precipitation will arrive at multiple terminals over the next 12
hours, with the greatest impacts occurring at KASE and KRIL where
vis is expected to decrease to MVFR conditions. Lowered ceilings
will threaten lowering other terminals to MVFR or IFR as well.
Mountain obscuration and mechanical turbulence is also to be
expected.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1058 AM MST Tue Nov 12 2024
Visibility has improved and ceilings are beginning to lift over KEGE
this morning, but it remains below ILS breakpoints and at LIFR
conditions for the time being. Uncertainty regarding when clearing
of low stratus will occur has led to the TAF following previous
days` trends, with VFR conditions being restored around 1 PM. Region-
wide, the ongoing storm system has brought scattered showers, gusty
winds, and SCT to BKN mid-level clouds. Chances for stronger
precipitation will arrive at multiple terminals over the next 12
hours, with the greatest impacts occurring at KASE and KRIL where
vis is expected to decrease to MVFR conditions. Lowered ceilings
will threaten lowering other terminals to MVFR or IFR as well.
Mountain obscuration and mechanical turbulence is also to be
expected.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Rain, occasionally mixed with snow, will diminish
this afternoon into early this evening, with MVFR CIGs/VIS improving
slowly to VFR into the evening hours, especially after 00Z. Quieter
weather will persist into Wednesday with a return to typical diurnal
wind shifts but otherwise VFR conditions prevailing.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Precipitation will continue
through the morning across much of the area, with most valleys
transitioning to snow early this morning as a cold front moves
through (the exception being the lowest elevations like KSGU).
Periods of moderate to heavy precipitation are possible, especially
later in the morning, with MVFR-IFR conditions and mountain
obscuration likely for many sites. Conditions will begin to improve
after 18z, with some lingering showers holding on through mid-
afternoon. Southwesterly winds ahead of the front will abruptly
transition to breezy out of the northwest to north. The strongest
gusts will be found downwind of higher terrain, such as at KENV,
KBCE, and KPUC.

Low but VFR ceilings expected to lift at the start of the period
as the backside of the precipitation pushes east. CPR will
still see some snow on station through 08Z with LND until 04Z.
Otherwise, all other locations will be dry and see improvements
to ceilings overnight into Wednesday morning. Mid to upper level
clouds tomorrow with mainly light winds outside of CPR in the
wind corridor that will still see the gradient influence behind
the cold front. Gusts up to 25kts after 14Z with 35kts after
18Z during peak heating of the afternoon under clearing skies.
Otherwise, no other weather elements are expected at this time.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

A cold front will sweep through the area this evening and
overnight resulting in rain and snow showers. Potentially the
chance for FG in the NE Panhandle near 12Z, so will take another
look at it by the 6Z TAF issuance. Overall, expect a transition
from VFR to MVFR/IFR fluctuations as the precipitation and low
clouds associated with the cold front sweep through the region.

A developing low pressure system will bring rain and strong winds to
the region tonight and into tomorrow. At this time, majority of the
rain will remain across eastern Nebraska, however, some isolated
showers and thunderstorms are possible east of US-83. Have opted to
keep a mention of rain and thunderstorms out of both terminals for
now due to the likely development of showers remaining just to the
east. Regardless, strong winds will accompany this system with
southerly gusts up to 25 to 30 knots through this afternoon before a
brief lull in the winds this evening. Northwest winds increase again
early Wednesday morning with gusts up to 30 to 35 knots lasting into
Wednesday afternoon.

the southwest then west and northwest through 07z with gusts up

a weather system moves through the area. Stratus is possible
with some showers potentially producing reduced visibilities.
Winds will remain from the northwest, gusting to 30kts or so.
After 12z, VFR conditions return with continued northwest winds
gusting up to 35kts through late afternoon before subsiding

Strong south winds will persist through the evening ahead of a
cold front and strong upper level disturbance. Ahead of the
front, a broken like of thunderstorms will develop near KLBL and
KGCK and move eastward. These storms could form into a solid
storm line before reaching KDDC and KHYS so that amendments may
be needed as the evening progresses. The main concerns are wind
gusts as high as 60 mph, small hail and brief heavy rain. In the
wake of the front, winds will shift to the southwest, west and
then northwest, with winds increasing to 20 kts by 12z and then
25 kts by 15z with daytime heating.

Prevailing VFR conditions expected with a wind shift during this
00Z TAF period. Southerly winds are expected to shift to west,
then northwest overnight 06Z-12Z, with the winds shifting all the
way to the north between 12Z and 18Z. There may be a short period
of LLWS mainly in KAMA as the winds aloft shift southwesterly
before the surface winds. This may lead to a 40 to 60 degree
difference between the 2k ft winds and the surface winds.
Confidence in timing and magnitude of the LLWS is low at this
time. Therefore, have left mentions of LLWS out of the TAFs at
this time with plans for an amendment if confidence raises.
