KALS: MFR to IFR conditions are expected for at least half of this
TAF period, either due to low ceilings and/or low visibility. Snow
showers will persist within the San Luis Valley into mid to late
evening. If the terminal site was impacted by one of these showers,
visibility and ceilings would be expected to drop. Clouds will
remain low through tomorrow morning, with fog development likely
this evening as winds lessen and skies clear. It is possible
widespread dense fog develops within the San Luis Valley and could
drop the terminal site to LIFR conditions. VFR conditions return mid
to late tomorrow mornings as any lingering low level clouds
dissipate. Otherwise winds will remain light through this TAF period.
KCOS and KPUB: MVFR conditions are expected for both TAF sites
through early to mid evening given low ceilings. VFR conditions are
expected to return overnight as clouds slowly lift and dissipate
late evening to early overnight. With that said, MVFR, to possibly
IFR, conditions will be possible again late overnight to early
tomorrow morning given possible fog development. Otherwise, dry
conditions are anticipated to prevail, with winds remaining
relatively light through tomorrow afternoon.

A weak weather system will bring mid level cloud cover and
mountain snow showers early Sunday morning. Most basins and
valleys remain dry, but a few hours of scattered rain showers
are possible for JAC, COD, and CPR as the system passes. Winds
remain light on Sunday, with skies partially clearing during
the afternoon and evening. The next weather system moves into
western Wyoming late Sunday evening into Monday morning,
bringing more widespread precipitation.

The upper level disturbance is expected to push east across the
Nebraska panhandle and extreme southeast Wyoming overnight. This
disturbance will allow for the wind to shift to the northwest
towards 15Z at the KCYS/KLAR TAF sites at the Nebraska TAF sites
by 21Z. Mid and high clouds will then spread over the area
tomorrow, but with limited low level moisture would not expect
much if any precipitation except for the mountains. The clouds
should depart the area tomorrow evening as weak upper level
ridging moves into the forecast area.

A low pressure system continues to churn across New Mexico where
an increase in some mid level clouds is forecast for overnight
but VFR conditions remain forecast for each terminal. The low
will continue to move off to the east before ejecting into
eastern Kansas Sunday with skies slowly clearing west to east.
Winds are forecast to be a little tricky with some backing of
the winds to a more northerly direction. KMCK however is
forecast to veer back to the east after backing to the north due
to proximity of the ejecting low.

Stratus and rain is anticipated to overspread the southeast
half of the area overnight into much of the day on Sunday. Light
northerly/northeasterly surface winds will prevail everywhere
as gusts to return to around 20 knots after 15z. Differences
arise in the the expectations of where the IFR/LIFR stratus
might be. Probabilities for sub 1000 ft ceilings area quite low
(10%) at Liberal and Garden City, while ramping up to 70 % for a
few hours between 13z and 19z at Hays and Dodge City. For DDC
and HYS, come reduction I VSBY into the MVFR category (3-5sm) is
likely (70% chance) however, this warm advection pattern does
not show any signal for the dense form of fog.

MVFR conditions continue at AMA while they have just started at
DHT. Later this evening, around 02Z, ceilings at GUY should also
drop to MVFR. Showers should enter the region late tonight and may
impact all TAF sites. The highest confidence at this point is for
AMA, as the system seems to favor the central Texas Panhandle.
Showers may start off as scattered, but should gradually become
widespread in the early morning hours on Sunday. Conditions should
become IFR during the rainfall.
As for the other sites, PROB30 groups have been implemented since
there is still uncertainty that these terminals will receive
impactful precipitation. If they do, there is also a chance rain
may covert to snowfall. However, no snow accumulation is expected.
The system will exit the Panhandles tomorrow morning and skies
will rapidly clear up by the afternoon. Some breezy, northerly
winds are possible from the afternoon till the end of the 00Z TAF
period.

A potent spring storm centered near KABQ late this afternoon will
move slowly east along the I-40 corridor tonight. A wide variety
of hazards will continue to impact the airspace this evening with
areas of rain, snow, patchy fog, thunderstorms, and blowing dust.
A Center Weather Advisory currently covers IFR in the area from
near KRTN to KLVS. A Convective SIGMET is also in place for the
area between Fort Sumner, KTCC, and KCVS. These storms will move
east/northeast thru 8pm and transition to rain and snow showers
thru midnight. Elsewhere, gradual clearing will take place over
northern and western NM this evening followed by potential fog
development overnight. Clearing will then spread to all areas
after sunrise Sunday with drier west/northwest winds.
