lighter at APA with speeds generally less than 8 knots but every
once in a while a west gust up to 20 knots is possible. BJC will
remain gusty overnight with gusts up to 35 knots possible.
Winds will pick back up during the mid to late morning on
Thursday from the west/northwest. Gusts could reach 38 knots at

Issued at 945 PM MST Wed Dec 10 2025
VFR conditions at all TAF sites to start the period and much of
Thursday. Windy conditions persist at COD/CPR/RIW overnight with
a persistent westerly flow aided by a low level jet pushing
over Yellowstone. Mid and upper level clouds throughout the
period increasing in coverage late after 00Z with the next
system. With that, winds stay elevated at all TAF sites, highest
at RKS up to 30kts and other locations 18-25kts. With the
aforementioned system skirting to the north, only COD will see
a chance for snow on station after 03Z and into the next TAF
cycle. Indications are for at best MVFR conditions with possible
IFR after this point in time. Mid level ceilings at all other
sites linger overnight into Friday before lifting and all
remaining dry into the weekend.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

VFR conditions expected over the next 24 hours. Strong winds
again tonight into tomorrow, with widespread gusts in the 25-50+
knot range, strongest at KCYS/KLAR/KBFF. Low level wind shear
will also impact all sites through the morning hours but should
weaken after that, returning tomorrow evening for KCYS/KLAR. CIGs
will be high based at FEW/SCT or clear, but into tomorrow
evening a frontal boundary will bring a cloud deck into the
region and lower CIGs to mid to low level with a chance of
precipitation for KCDR as well.
