VFR conditions and dry weather are expected this forecast
period, with any afternoon isolated shower and thunderstorm
development expected to stay confined to the higher terrain.
Lingering outflow across COS and PUB will likely keep winds
steady out of the east early, before becoming more light and
variable for the remaining early morning hours. Light and
diurnally driven winds are then anticipated for all sites this
period, outside of a few gusts later this afternoon.

Skies are mostly clear across the region, and will remain so
through the next 24 hours. The exception will be along the
southern and central Divide mountains, where clouds and showers
will linger. There will be a slightly higher chance of showers
or thunderstorms impacting KTEX and KDRO tomorrow afternoon,
with lightning and gusty, erratic winds the main concerns.
Otherwise, winds will be light and follow typical terrain driven
patterns. A fire located north of KEGE is producing quite a bit
of smoke that may lead to reduced visibility at the airport, and
MVFR conditions. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail.

.AVIATION...Wednesday 20/06Z through Thursday 21/06Z...VFR
conditions expected to persist through the TAF period. Isolated
-SHRA/-TSRA possible overnight, primarily along and south of a
KGCN-KINW-KSJN line. Light and variable winds expected through
18Z, before winds increase to ~ 10kts but remain variable in
direction. Winds near storms could be gusty/erratic near 25-35
kts. Additional SHRA/TSRA possible after 18Z along and east of a
KPRC- KPGA line.
OUTLOOK...Thursday 21/06Z through Saturday 23/06Z...VFR conditions
will persist outside MVFR conditions in heavier SHRA/TSRA. Daily
chances for showers/storms possible between 18Z-03Z, with greatest
activity likely across the higher terrain. Outside of storm
driven gusty winds, look for variable winds 5-15 kts.

confined to scattered diurnal cumulus (~8,000 to 10,000 ft AGL)
Wednesday afternoon (~20Z Wed to ~01Z Thu). Winds will remain
light and variable through Wednesday morning, shifting to the
SE and modestly increasing to 8-13 knots by early afternoon

Good aviation weather is forecast for all four airports DDC,
GCK, LBL, and HYS through this TAF period Wednesday and
Wednesday evening. Winds will remain light with no major wind
shift in speed or direction. Large scale subsidence through the
depth of the troposphere should prevent organized shower and
thunderstorm activity through the period.

Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms continue across
portions of southwest, central and northeast NM early this
evening. These storms are expected to gradually diminish through
03Z or so. Some hi-res models suggest additional storms may
develop around KROW late this evening, confidence was too low to
insert a PROB30 or TEMPO attm. Watch for amendments. Storm
coverage will decrease again on Wednesday, with storms focused
across the northern and western mountains. A few storms will be
capable of brief heavy rainfall and lower visibility as well as
gusty outflow winds in excess of 35kt.
