.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday/...
Issued at 1152 AM MDT Fri Jul 4 2025
VFR conditions expected throughout the TAF period. The main impact
today will be wind gusts from isolated thunderstorms. If a storm
were to go over a terminal, gusts could reach 35 knots. The most
likely time for a storm to impact the terminals is 19-22Z.
Drainage will return for the latter part of the evening but a weak
boundary will move across the terminals shifting winds to the
north or northwest overnight. Isolated storms are again possible
Saturday afternoon with winds being the primary impacts.

Afternoon convection is beginning across the region. The
coverage of today`s showers and thunderstorms is not expected to
be as widespread as it was yesterday. As a result, confidence in
TAF site impacts is lower. However, isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms are expected through the evening,
primarily north of I-70. Main threats are gusty wind, lightning,
and small hail. Otherwise, winds are expected to be light and
VFR conditions will prevail.

Shower and thunderstorms are starting to develop along most
higher elevation mountain ranges currently, and these are
expected to move quickly to the northeast through the afternoon.
Confidence in showers and thunderstorms remains high for today,
so have added TSRA to all TAF sites for some time this
afternoon, trying to focus tempo groups on the best period for
thunder. Any thunderstorms that do form may be accompanied by
brief gusty winds, so have also added some variable gusts into
TEMPO groups. Calmer conditions expected overnight tonight for
all sites. Another round of thunderstorms is expected tomorrow,
but these would be limited more east of the Divide after 18Z/05.

Main aviation concern will be strong to severe thunderstorms in
southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska panhandle this afternoon and
evening. Storms could contain damaging winds and hail. Heavy rain
could also be possible leading to reduced visibility at times. Low
CIGs could also be possible in storms. Storms will dissipate later
tonight, leading to calmer conditions.

Issued at 1214 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025
Showers and thunderstorms are tracking across western Nebraska this
morning and early afternoon, tracking east across the region. These
showers are bringing MVFR ceilings across most of western and north
central Nebraska, with fluctuations to VFR in breaks in the showers.
This activity is expected to continue throughout the day and into
the evening hours, as a low pressure system tracks out of the
region. This will also bring some gusty winds this afternoon, and
potentially into this evening with thunderstorm activity. Will be
monitoring the potential redevelopment of showers and thunderstorms
overnight, which may bring additional impacts to local terminals.
For now, confidence is low in overnight storm timing and location,
so have omitted from TAFs for the time being.

As of 21 UTC, ceilings associated with pervasive stratus have
lifted to VFR (4000-6000 feet AGL). Showers and thunderstorms
could potentially affect either terminal this afternoon and
early evening, though.. McCook appears relatively more likely
to be affected. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail. South
winds at 10-15 knots may become light and variable this evening
and overnight. Winds will shift to the N and increase to 10-15
knots within a few hours after sunrise Saturday morning.

Radar imagery at 2130z depicted scattered thunderstorms near and
south of HYS. Models forecast a more organized complex of
thunderstorms to progress southeast 00-06z Sat, with enough
confidence to include convective TEMPO groups at GCK/DDC/HYS.
Storms may go mostly north of LBL, so only included VCTS/CB at
LBL. Variable erratic outflow winds up to 45 kts are possible
near any thunderstorm this evening. In a very moist boundary
layer, areas of MVFR stratus and reduced visibility in BR are
possible for several hours Saturday morning, most likely at DDC.
Good flying weather is expected daylight Saturday, with VFR and
light winds.

VFR conditions are expected to persist through 06Z, with chances
for low clouds to move into the southern TX Panhandle impacting
CIGs for KAMA. MVFR to IFR CIGS are possible for KAMA especially
going into the 10Z to 12Z hours Saturday if not sooner. There is
a potential for some patchy fog to develop and lower VIS as well.
KGUY does have a slight chance to be impacted by showers and
thunder this evening between 00Z and 03Z Saturday. Otherwise
expect southerly winds generally less than 10 kts. Any current
winds above 10 kts at this time should come down a bit as the
period progresses.
