Again, there was enough convection to keep the outflow boundaries
pushing across DIA during the later afternoon and early evening
hours. Southeasterly winds should be in place at DIA shortly,
eventually becoming drainage winds around 05Z/06Z. Some models
show a surge of northerly winds around 06Z/07Z but I am not total
sold on that at this time and speeds do not look very strong.
There should not be any ceiling issues through the overnight
hours.

Issued at 514 PM MDT Fri Jul 4 2025
VFR conditions are expected at KALS, KCOS, and KPUB through 24
hours. There will be a low chance of isolated showers moving
past KALS and KCOS through 02-03Z or so, though chances are low
enough to leave as PROB30 groups. Could see some short lived
rain and gusty outflow winds.
Once showers are done for the evening, VFR and quiet weather
resume through the rest of this forecast period. There is
another chance for showers and storms Saturday afternoon across
the area, but chances are currently too low to include in this
round of TAFs.

A couple lines of showers and thunderstorms continue for a
few more hours this evening as they move quickly to the east.
One line will move into western Wyoming in the next couple of
hours and one is passing through central Wyoming at this time. Any
showers/storms will continue to produce locally gusty winds
possibly reaching 50kts. Showers/storms will decrease quickly
with the loss of daytime heating, with most of the night seeing
mostly clear skies and light and variable winds. Still expecting
another round of showers and thunderstorms after 18Z Saturday,
with the main activity for KLND/KRIW, KCPR, and KBYG through 00Z
Sunday.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

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 throughout the majority of the 00Z TAF
period at all TAF sites. towards the end of the TAF period, TSRA
conditions maybe possible for KAMA, but confidence is not high
enough to include in TAF period at this time. Winds overall will
range from the southeast to northeast at 5-15 kts.

There is a 40-60% chance that patchy fog and low clouds will
produce MVFR and localized IFR conditions in counties along NM`s
eastern border late tonight and early Saturday morning. A moist
backdoor front will progress southwestward through the eastern
plains tonight and Saturday morning, setting the stage for
scattered-to-isolated showers and thunderstorms from the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains eastward during the afternoon and evening, and
also over east central and southeast areas. A few strong-to-severe
thunderstorms could produce damaging winds and large hail on the
eastern plains. Meanwhile, isolated showers and thunderstorms,
some with little or no rainfall reaching the surface, are also
forecast from Zuni Pueblo (KXNI) to Glenwood Saturday afternoon
and evening. Some of these will be capable of producing dry or
mostly dry microbursts with localized, brief, and erratic wind
gusts up to 45 KT.
