.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday/...
Issued at 1158 AM MDT Wed Aug 13 2025
Main concern is for gusty microburst winds 21/22Z-01/02Z. We`ll be
warming dry adiabatically to near 500 mb this afternoon, and
DCAPE values rise to an impressive 1800 J/kg. With just enough
moisture, we will likely see a few microbursts in the area, but
still some uncertainty since mid level moisture is still quite
sparse. Thus, we`ll maintain the Prob30 rather than TEMPO for the
22Z-01Z period. With such DCAPE, it wouldn`t be hard to get brief
G40 kts, but also isolated G50 kts for the maximums.
Outside of that, we expect VFR conditions to persist and fairly
normal diurnal wind patterns. Some light smoke possible but it
should stay mostly elevated through the period, as HRRR shows
limited near surface smoke. Just a 20-30% chance it could bring
IMC conditions around sunset and sunrise, heavily depending on how
active fires in western Colorado become this afternoon.

Expect VFR conditions through the TAF period. Winds will
generally be light terrain driven winds with west to
southwesterly winds gusting to 20 kts in the lower valleys
between 18Z ans 01Z. Smoke from regional wildfires will
occasional lead to periods of lower visibility at nearby
terminals.

Flagstaff Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION...Wednesday 13/18Z through Thursday 14/18Z...Mainly VFR
conditions persist with increasing low to mid-level cloud cover by
19Z. Isolated to scattered -TSRA is forecast from 20Z-03Z, mainly
along and south of a KCMR-KFLG-KSOW-KJTC line. Look for cloud-to-
ground lightning, gusty outflows of 20-30 kts, small hail, and
brief periods of heavy rainfall resulting in MVFR conditions in
any storms. Conditions improve after 03Z with SCT-BKN debris cloud
cover. Outside of any outflow gusts from storms, expect west-
northwest winds 15-25 kts through 02Z, becoming light and variable
thereafter.
OUTLOOK...Thursday 14/18Z through Saturday 16/18Z...Scattered
showers and thunderstorms are anticipated across northern Arizona
from ~19Z-03Z for Thursday and Friday. Areas of brief MVFR/IFR
conditions are likely in any storms, along with lightning, small
hail, and gusty and erratic outflows. Storm coverage begins to
decrease on Saturday with drier conditions thereafter. Plan on
southwest winds, 15-25 kts, on Thursday followed by lighter
southwest flow, 10-20 kts, for Friday and Saturday.

Scattered showers continue to bubble across western WY
currently, and should be slowly decreasing by midevening with
loss of heating. Any showers has the potential for variably
gusty winds. Mostly clear skies and light winds return
overnight. There are some hints of a few showers north of KJAC
late tonight near sunrise, so some brief north gusts are
possible. Scattered showers and thunderstorms return after 18Z
tomorrow. Have added PROB30 for all except KCOD, where shower
chances remain low.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Isolated thunderstorms may impact KCDR and KAIA this afternoon
possibly dropping to MVFR conditions, but coverage will be

Outside of thunderstorms, VFR conditions are expected to prevail
through tomorrow afternoon. By this evening, thunderstorms are
expected to overspread northern Nebraska from South Dakota, with
a threat for brief MVFR visibilities and gusty, erratic winds.
These storms will exit the area prior to sunrise Thursday
morning.
An increasing southerly LLJ tonight will lead to increasing low
level wind shear for all terminals, which will persist into
sunrise Thursday morning. Winds remain gusty from the south into
this evening, with gusts of 25 to 30kts expected. Winds increase
from the south again tomorrow afternoon, at 15 to 20kts.

VFR conditions will prevail throughout the TAF period. Southerly
winds will subside by a few knots after sunset, but gusts up to
20 knots are still expected across the area. There is a signal
on some of the afternoon weather model guidance for a cluster of
high-based showers to move southeast into parts of southwest
Nebraska or north central Kansas late tonight, with the
potential for light to moderate rain and gusty winds. Otherwise,
the main story will be wind shear tonight as a low-level jet
develops (winds at roughly 2000 feet will be from just west of
due south at roughly 40-45 knots). This will diminish after
daybreak.

KGUP and KLVS. The main aviation impact from this activity will be
some gusty winds of up to 40 kts. Lingering mid level clouds across
