.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday/...
Issued at 1144 PM MST Tue Feb 4 2025
Patchy fog is likely to form in the vicinity of KDEN in the next
few hours (60% chance), but impacts on the airport are
speculative. We`ve kept a brief period of LIFR ceilings in the
TAF, but the odds of this appear to be lessening. If there is
significant impact to the airport, we expect it to be brief and
done by 12z.
The more certain factor will be strong west winds developing,
threatening crosswind issues at KDEN/KAPA. Speeds of 20 to 30
knots are expected by 18z, with gusts up to 45 knots possible for
a few hours in the afternoon. West winds near crosswind thresholds
may continue into the evening, but lighter speeds are expected by
04z Thursday.

Issued at 1008 PM MST Tue Feb 4 2025
VFR conditions are expected at all three TAF sites, KCOS, KPUB, and
KALS, for the next 24 hours. KCOS and KPUB will see continued light
surface winds through the overnight hours, with increasing
probabilities of wind shear developing after 08Z as winds aloft
increase. Eventually, these westerly winds will spread down to the
surface at both terminals by Wednesday afternoon, with best estimate
of timing coming in between 15Z and 18z. Southwest winds gusting to
35kt are expected at KALS for tomorrow afternoon as well. Mid and
upper-level cloud cover begins to clear through Wednesday morning,
with winds decreasing after 00Z Wednesday evening at all three
stations.

Expect VFR conditions during the next 18 hours for all TAF sites.
Drainage flows continue into Wednesday morning. LLWS continues
through Wednesday morning as the mid-level height gradient
tightens. As the flow aloft mixes down from late morning into
early afternoon, breezy southwest winds develop at TAF sites
which will persist throughout the afternoon. A passing
disturbance will bring a some chance of light mixed rain and
snow showers to KHDN and KEGE after 00Z/Thursday with little
chance elsewhere.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions with continued gusty southerly
winds prevail at KSLC through Wednesday morning. Overcast skies
persist into this evening, with increasing mid-level clouds
overnight ahead of a frontal passage bringing CIG reductions and
mountain obscurations mid-late morning Wednesday. Winds expected
to shift northwest behind this frontal passage, roughly between
18-21z.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...BLDU from continued gusty
southerly winds may bring VIS reductions downstream of dry desert
sinks through Wednesday afternoon. A weak cold front brings light,
mainly terrain-driven precipitation across far northern Utah and
southwest Wyoming. Winds shift out of the west-northwest behind
this frontal passage, roughly between 18-21z. For southern Utah,
expect clearing skies with dry conditions to prevail through the
period.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals
A weather system will bring snow chances and windy conditions to the
area on Wednesday. Snow will begin right around 12Z/Wed at KJAC and
spread southeast to KBPI/KPNA by 13-14Z/Wed respectively. Snow will
end Wednesday afternoon. It will remain much too warm at KRKS for
snow, but have included a PROB30 group for rain showers for
Wednesday afternoon as the area of precipitation pushes southeast
through the area.
Wind will increase late Wednesday morning and become strong,
especially at KRKS. A sustained southwesterly to northwesterly wind
of 15-25 knots, with gusts of 25-35 knots will occur at
KBPI/KPNA/KJAC terminals Wednesday afternoon remaining breezy
Wednesday evening. At KRKS wind will be 25-35 knots, with gusts of
35-45 knots Wednesday afternoon. Mountain obscuration will become
widespread by sunrise Wednesday, with some improvement by Wednesday
afternoon.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals
A weather system will bring windy conditions to the area on
Wednesday. There will be snow and even rain west of the Continental
Divide, but this will not be the case east of the Divide. All
terminals are expected to remain dry, but some reductions in VIS are
possible (50%) at KCOD Wednesday afternoon when the strongest wind
occurs. A PROB30 group has also been included at KCOD through
Wednesday morning for light snow/MVFR VIS and IFR CIGS. Mountain
obscuration possible (40%) at KCOD Wednesday morning.
Wind will be very strong at KCPR Wednesday afternoon (30-40 knots,
with gusts as high as 50 knots). At other terminals sustained wind
will be 20-30 knots, with gusts of 30-40 knots, Wednesday afternoon.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Stratus continues through the night over western and north central
Nebraska, with ceilings fluctuating from VFR to MVFR. A surge of
moisture overnight will help bring ceilings back to MVFR, but
precise timing remains low confidence, largely driven by a layer of
higher stratus obscuring the lower ceilings on satellite. Have
continue to trend the TAFs towards RAP forecast soundings, which
bring MVFR ceilings by morning, with IFR, and potentially LIFR,
conditions across southwest Nebraska. Additionally, along with the
low ceilings, a dusting of snow may be possible, but confidence
remains low in locations and timing, so will omit from TAFs. By the
afternoon, the clouds move out to the east with a rapid return to
VFR across western and north central Nebraska. The afternoon also
brings gusty surface winds across the Panhandle and northern
Sandhills, with gusts of 25 to 30 knots at the surface. By early
evening, a low level jet is expected to develop, which could
potentially bring LLWS concerns at both terminals around sunset.
Will likely include on follow on TAFs as confidence in the
direction, magnitude, and level become more certain.

For KGLD... IFR conditions are expected through the first 6 to
12 hours with ceilings around 200-500ft and the chance for
freezing fog. 05Z observations show a broad area of low
ceilings around a few hundred feet with locations who have had
the low ceilings for a few hours beginning to develop fog. This
is expected to happen at KGLD within the first hour or two of
the period. Once the fog develops, it should linger until winds
near the surface and through a few thousand feet begin to shift
to out of the southwest and drag in drier air. Current forecast
is around 13Z, but this could happen as early as 09Z. Low
ceilings will likely linger for an hour or two after the fog
clears, but then transition to clear skies by the mid to late
morning. VFR conditions are then expected through the remainder
of the period.
For KMCK... MVFR ceilings between 1000-2500ft are forecast
through the night, though it is unclear if enough moisture will
move in for lower ceilings and/or fog. Be ready for conditions
to change fairly quickly as winds near the surface are favorable
and trying to bring in low level moisture. However, the cloud
ceiling is keeping temperatures from cooling and keeping the air
relatively dry near the surface. By about 18-20Z, the drier air
from the southwest along with additional sunshine should lift
any cloud layer and allow for VFR conditions through the
remainder of the period.

LIFR ceilings and visibilities are expected overnight with
dense fog expected at times. These low clouds should dissipate
by tomorrow afternoon giving away to mostly clear skies. Winds
will generally be from an easterly direction through late
morning then shift to the southwest as a warm front slides
northward across the area.

next few hours and will impact KAMA/KGUY. IFR to LIFR
ceilings/visibility are likely at both sites. Clouds and fog will
clear out after sunrise at both locations. Strong winds upwards
of 50 kts will develop at 1.5k ft agl tonight which will cause
LLWS at KAMA/KDHT. Surface winds will increase out of the west
around 18z with gusts upwards of 30 kts at all sites. Winds should
decrease towards the end of this TAF cycle to around 10-15 kts.

(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1005 PM MST Tue Feb 4 2025
Winds have tapered off nearly all areas this evening. Low level
moisture producing IFR/LIFR ceilings has advanced to KLBB, and is
expected to reach into east-central and southeastern NM tonight.
KTCC and KROW will be on the northern and western edge of these
low clouds and do not currently have IFR/LIFR ceilings in the TAF.
Amds will be necessary here if the low clouds advance further than
what is currently forecast. LLWS is also expected to commence
shortly through areas along and west of the Continental Divide and
areas along and east of the central mountain chain tonight. Otherwise,
dry westerly winds return most areas Wednesday afternoon,
starting over central and western areas before expanding to the
eastern plains later in the afternoon.
