Issued at 654 PM MDT Sun Aug 17 2025
Models show the northeasterly winds are DIA becoming more
southeasterly then eventually drainage through the evening hours.
Speeds should weaken a bit from the current 15 knots down to 10
knots or less after 04Z and continue that way overnight. Some of
the high resolution models are showing a brief time period of a
chance of showers from 06Z-09Z so put the VCSH in the TAF. There
will not be any ceiling issues overnight.

Issued at 516 PM MDT Sun Aug 17 2025
VFR conditions anticipated across the forecast area over the next 24
hours, including the three main TAF sites of KCOS, KPUB and KALS.
Surface winds are forecast to be diurnal in direction and generally
under 12 kts, though included light easterly winds for both KCOS and
KPUB tonight until 04z-06z due to outflow from ongoing isolated
storms across the eastern plains. Did include a PROB30 for
-TSRA for KCOS between 19z-24z tomorrow since KCOS will have the
best chance of seeing storms near the terminal. Moore

Any isolated showers and thunderstorms should end by 06Z.
Following this, VFR conditions are expected through 06Z
Tuesday. A stray afternoon shower or thunderstorm can`t be ruled
out after 19Z Monday, but not enough confidence to include in
the forecast. Wind should be less than 15 knots through almost
all of the TAF sites through the forecast period.

Most of the showers are currently near KCDR and should be moving
out of the area within the next couple hours. Tomorrow there is
another chance for afternoon convection starting around 21z.
Winds are also going to be light and variable as an upper level
ridge pushes into the region.

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will develop this evening
into the overnight. The greatest confidence in storm development
is across the northern Sandhills, however isolated storm
development may be possible further south. Gusty erratic winds
and lower visibility will be possible as storms pass through.
SFC winds will be out of the south to southeast this evening
around 5 to 10 kts, becoming light and variable overnight.

A majority of the TAF period will be characterized by VFR
conditions and variable winds. The one aside will be the
potential for interruptions from a shower/thunderstorm.
For this evening, any activity looks to be isolated enough such
that we`ll keep KGLD/KMCK TAFs clear and monitor satellite/radar
for amendments, especially given meager trends up to this point.
On Monday, clusters of showers and thunderstorms should develop
across east Colorado and then move into Kansas; have leaned in
that direction with a PROB30 TSRA at KGLD starting at 21z. A
mention may become necessary at KMCK a tad later.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail for all TAF sites through the
period. A primarily south wind at 10-15 KTs and mostly clear skies
should dominate. A weak thundershower can not be ruled out,
especially near LBL into the evening. Ensemble chances (<10%)
are low resulting in the exclusion from the TAF. Any storms
that are present will be weak, isolated, and relatively short-
lived.

Thunderstorms will remain possible for a few more hours at the
terminals, with KDHT and KGUY having the higher chances so PROB30s
have been maintained at those sites. Storm chances will quickly
decrease by 05-06z. Additional storms are possible late in this
TAF cycle with KAMA having the higher potential. VFR conditions
are likely outside of any potential thunderstorms with winds out
of the south with gusts up to 20-25 kts.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 512 PM MDT Sun Aug 17 2025
Showers and thunderstorms across south central and eastern NM will
persist through 04Z or so, though will gradually decrease in
coverage after 02Z. Brief heavy rainfall reducing visibility and
gusty outflows will be the main concerns through the evening. In
addition to KROW (already being impacted), KTCC may have impacts
this evening but chances are lower. Quiet conditions are expected
overnight. Another round of showers and thunderstorms are
expected for Monday. Storm coverage will be slightly greater than
today, spreading potentially as far west as the ContDvd. However,
storms across western NM will produce little rainfall and more
gusty winds. Localized heavy rainfall and reduced visibility will
remain a concern along and east of the Central Mountain Chain.
