2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday/... Issued at 1156 PM MDT Tue Jul 16 2024 Main concern will be thunderstorms on Wednesday afternoon and early evening. Guidance suggests another pretty early start to convection (around 20Z), and at least scattered coverage. That`s enough to have TEMPO VRB winds gusting to 35-40 kts and -TSRA in the forecast...starting at KBJC and KAPA by/shortly before 20Z, and 21Z at KDEN. Most storms should be out of the area again before 00Z, with only a small chance thereafter. Outside of the storms, fairly normal diurnal wind patterns and VFR conditions will prevail. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 171035Z AUTO 02005KT 10SM CLR 10/03 A3070 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT NW METAR K4BM 171015Z AUTO 02006KT 10SM CLR 10/03 A3069 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 170955Z AUTO 03005KT 10SM CLR 10/02 A3069 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 170955Z AUTO 35008KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3032 RMK AO2 SLP184 T01270072 METAR KAFF 170855Z AUTO 35006KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP186 T01300068 53003 METAR KAFF 170755Z AUTO 34006KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP183 T01310069 KCOS 170520Z 1706/1806 32006KT P6SM FEW100 BKN200 FM170900 02008KT P6SM FEW200 FM171700 15012KT P6SM SCT120 SCT200 FM171900 02012KT P6SM VCTS BKN100CB BKN150 FM180000 16010KT P6SM BKN100 BKN150 FM180400 13008KT P6SM SCT050 METAR KCOS 170954Z 36007KT 10SM CLR 15/08 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP195 T01500078 METAR KCOS 170854Z 03007KT 10SM CLR 15/09 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP195 T01500089 53003 METAR KCOS 170754Z 01005KT 10SM CLR 16/10 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP174 T01610100 METAR KABH 170955Z AUTO 06004KT 10SM BKN140 14/10 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP202 T01440096 METAR KABH 170855Z AUTO 06005KT 10SM CLR 14/10 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP207 T01410099 53003 METAR KABH 170755Z AUTO 05004KT 10SM CLR 14/11 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP175 T01370109 METAR KFLY 171035Z AUTO 02006KT 10SM CLR 16/06 A3038 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT N T01610062 METAR KFLY 171015Z AUTO 01006KT 10SM CLR 16/06 A3037 RMK AO2 T01610062 METAR KFLY 170955Z AUTO 36008KT 10SM CLR 17/06 A3036 RMK AO2 T01650060 KFCS 170500Z 1705/1811 33009KT 9999 BKN150 QNH3026INS BECMG 1714/1715 13009KT 9999 SCT150 QNH3028INS BECMG 1717/1718 17010G20KT 9999 VCSH BKN080 510009 QNH3029INS TEMPO 1719/1722 31030G45KT 6000 TSRA BKN060CB BECMG 1801/1802 33009KT 9999 NSW BKN090 510009 QNH3032INS TX28/1722Z TN16/1711Z METAR KFCS 170955Z AUTO 33012KT 10SM CLR 17/09 A3025 RMK AO2 SLP185 T01690088 $ METAR KFCS 170855Z AUTO 34007KT 10SM CLR 17/09 A3024 RMK AO2 SLP192 T01700087 53003 $ METAR KFCS 170755Z AUTO 33008KT 10SM CLR 16/08 A3023 RMK AO2 SLP171 T01560081 $ KPUB 170520Z 1706/1806 30005KT P6SM SCT120 FM171700 12012KT P6SM SCT120 SCT200 FM172100 02012KT P6SM VCTS BKN100CB BKN150 FM180200 18008KT P6SM BKN100 BKN150 FM180400 09008KT P6SM SCT050 METAR KPUB 170953Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM CLR 16/14 A3021 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01560139 METAR KPUB 170853Z AUTO 34005KT 10SM CLR 17/14 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP160 T01670139 55001 METAR KPUB 170753Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 19/13 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP147 T01890128 METAR KVTP 171035Z AUTO 09005KT 10SM CLR 10/05 A3069 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 171015Z AUTO 10004KT 10SM CLR 11/05 A3068 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 170955Z AUTO 09005KT 10SM CLR 11/05 A3068 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 170954Z AUTO 29003KT 10SM CLR 15/13 A3029 RMK AO2 SLP178 T01500128 METAR KTAD 170854Z AUTO 19007KT 10SM CLR 16/13 A3028 RMK AO2 SLP171 T01560128 55003 METAR KTAD 170754Z AUTO 24005KT 10SM CLR 17/13 A3026 RMK AO2 SLP156 T01670128 METAR KLHX 170953Z AUTO 18007KT 9SM CLR 18/17 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP156 T01830167 PNO $ METAR KLHX 170853Z AUTO 21006KT 9SM CLR 18/17 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP158 6//// T01830172 51011 PNO $ METAR KLHX 170753Z AUTO 11007KT 8SM CLR 18/17 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP158 T01780172 PNO $ METAR KLAA 170953Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 17/17 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP160 T01720167 METAR KLAA 170853Z AUTO 20005KT 10SM CLR 18/17 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP158 T01830172 51006 METAR KLAA 170753Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 18/17 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP160 T01780172 METAR KSPD 170956Z AUTO 31005KT 17/15 A3019 RMK AO1 SLP153 T01670150 $ METAR KSPD 170856Z AUTO 28005KT 17/16 A3020 RMK AO1 SLP157 T01670156 50008 $ METAR KSPD 170756Z AUTO 25004KT 18/16 A3020 RMK AO1 SLP156 T01830161 $ Sunrise/Sunset for 07/17/2024 Burlington - 05:37:09 MDT / 20:13:32 MDT Pueblo - 05:49:24 MDT / 20:20:04 MDT Lamar - 05:41:53 MDT / 20:11:34 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 07/17/24 10:39 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 13000 FT MSL...031/014 12000 FT MSL...024/026 11000 FT MSL...052/011 10900 FT MSL...068/017 10000 FT MSL...049/017 9700 FT MSL...050/018 9000 FT MSL...045/018 8600 FT MSL...043/018 8000 FT MSL...027/021 7800 FT MSL...029/020 7100 FT MSL...027/019 7000 FT MSL...020/020 6400 FT MSL...039/019 6000 FT MSL...084/015 5900 FT MSL...084/014 5700 FT MSL...103/014 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 0942 UTC Wednesday, July 17, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/... Issued at 335 AM MDT Wed Jul 17 2024 The VFR conditions and dry weather in place across the terminals will persist this morning into the middle part of the day. During this time, will see either light and variable winds or light diurnally driven winds. Another day of precipitation chances across the terminals, with shower and thunderstorm development expected later this afternoon into the early evening. Will see initial development over the higher terrain move into the mountain valleys and I-25 corridor this afternoon into the evening. While this is expected, confidence is low on coverage, with widely scattered showers and storms expected. Did keep the VCTS for ALS and PUB but did add some precip for COS, where confidence was higher for the possibility of showers and storms. Any shower or storm today will support gusty outflow winds. Outside of these possible stronger winds, lighter winds will persist for ALS as a steady south southeast wind sets in for PUB and COS this afternoon. * * * * * Northwest Colorado * * * * * METAR KCAG 170953Z AUTO 15004KT 10SM CLR 11/07 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP193 T01060072 METAR KCAG 170853Z AUTO VRB03KT 10SM CLR 12/07 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP185 T01220072 51003 METAR KCAG 170753Z AUTO 10004KT 10SM CLR 16/08 A3030 RMK AO2 SLP176 T01610083 METAR KHDN 170956Z AUTO 13008KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP191 T01330072 METAR KHDN 170856Z AUTO 12009KT 10SM CLR 13/08 A3034 RMK AO2 SLP197 T01330078 51002 METAR KHDN 170756Z AUTO 09009KT 10SM CLR 16/07 A3034 RMK AO2 SLP184 T01560072 METAR KSBS 171035Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 10/08 A3036 RMK AO1 T00970083 METAR KSBS 171015Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/09 A3036 RMK AO1 T00920092 METAR KSBS 170955Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 10/07 A3035 RMK AO1 T01000072 METAR KC07 171035Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/05 A3060 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 171015Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/05 A3060 RMK AO2 METAR KC07 170955Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 09/05 A3060 RMK AO2 METAR KEEO 170953Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 11/07 A3032 RMK AO2 SLP178 T01110067 METAR KEEO 170853Z AUTO 07005KT 10SM CLR 12/07 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP178 T01220072 53002 METAR KEEO 170753Z AUTO 08005KT 10SM CLR 12/07 A3031 RMK AO2 SLP175 T01220072 METAR K20V 171035Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 05/03 A3046 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT E METAR K20V 171015Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 05/04 A3046 RMK AO2 METAR K20V 170955Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 06/04 A3045 RMK AO2 METAR KGNB 171035Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 06/M11 A3050 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT NE T00601112 METAR KGNB 171015Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 05/M12 A3049 RMK AO2 T00541120 METAR KGNB 170955Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 06/M12 A3049 RMK AO2 T00611116 METAR K0CO 171035Z AUTO CLR 05/00 A3074 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 171015Z AUTO CLR 05/00 A3074 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR K0CO 170955Z AUTO CLR 05/00 A3074 RMK AO2 PWINO METAR KC99 171033Z AUTO 11008KT 10SM CLR 08/01 A3065 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT NE METAR KC99 171013Z AUTO 11009KT 10SM CLR 08/02 A3065 RMK AO2 METAR KC99 170955Z AUTO 11007KT 10SM CLR 08/01 A3064 RMK AO2 KGJT 170530Z 1706/1806 06012KT P6SM FEW110 SCT250 FM170900 10007KT P6SM FEW110 FEW250 FM172100 29005KT P6SM FEW130 SCT250 FM180500 10009KT P6SM FEW130 SCT200 METAR KGJT 170953Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 23/08 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP130 T02280078 METAR KGJT 170853Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 24/07 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP127 T02390072 51006 METAR KGJT 170753Z 04012KT 10SM VCTS CLR 24/08 A3015 RMK AO2 SLP126 T02440078 KRIL 170530Z 1706/1806 09007KT P6SM FEW100 SCT250 FM171200 VRB03KT P6SM SCT250 FM172000 32008KT P6SM VCSH SCT100 SCT250 FM180400 VRB03KT P6SM FEW090 SCT250 METAR KRIL 170953Z AUTO 13003KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3027 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01330072 METAR KRIL 170853Z AUTO 09005KT 10SM CLR 15/07 A3027 RMK AO2 SLP177 T01500072 51003 METAR KRIL 170753Z AUTO 14004KT 10SM CLR 15/07 A3026 RMK AO2 SLP171 T01500072 METAR K5SM 171035Z AUTO 10005KT 10SM CLR 08/01 A3064 RMK AO2 METAR K5SM 171015Z AUTO 10005KT 10SM CLR 09/00 A3064 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT N METAR K5SM 170955Z AUTO 10006KT 10SM CLR 08/01 A3063 RMK AO2 KEGE 170900Z 1709/1806 08004KT P6SM SCT009 TEMPO 1709/1713 BKN009 FM171800 24004KT P6SM VCTS SCT090CB BKN250 FM172000 19005KT P6SM VCTS SCT110CB BKN250 FM180400 VRB03KT P6SM FEW090 SCT250 SPECI KEGE 171042Z AUTO 00000KT 1/2SM VV010 09/09 A3043 RMK AO2 RVRNO PNO $ SPECI KEGE 171030Z AUTO 00000KT 3/4SM CLR 09/08 A3043 RMK AO2 VIS 1/4V5 RVRNO PNO $ SPECI KEGE 171025Z AUTO 00000KT 1 1/2SM CLR 09/08 A3043 RMK AO2 PNO $ KASE 170530Z 1706/1806 21004KT P6SM FEW090 SCT200 FM170900 16006KT P6SM FEW090 SCT200 FM171800 29004KT P6SM VCTS SCT090CB BKN200 FM180100 34005KT P6SM VCSH FEW090 BKN200 METAR KASE 170953Z 21003KT 10SM CLR 06/04 A3042 RMK AO2 SLP193 T00610044 $ METAR KASE 170853Z 00000KT 10SM CLR 08/06 A3042 RMK AO2 SLP187 T00780056 51003 $ METAR KASE 170753Z 21004KT 10SM CLR 09/06 A3042 RMK AO2 SLP187 T00890061 $ METAR KCCU 171035Z AUTO 11014G17KT 10SM CLR 11/01 A3071 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 171015Z AUTO 11011KT 10SM CLR 12/01 A3071 RMK AO2 METAR KCCU 170955Z AUTO 10014G17KT 10SM CLR 11/01 A3071 RMK AO2 METAR KLXV 170953Z AUTO 06005KT 10SM CLR 03/02 A3057 RMK AO2 SLP193 T00330022 METAR KLXV 170853Z AUTO 06006KT 10SM CLR 03/02 A3056 RMK AO2 SLP205 T00330022 55002 METAR KLXV 170753Z AUTO 08003KT 10SM CLR 05/03 A3056 RMK AO2 SLP201 T00500033 Sunrise/Sunset for 07/17/2024 Rangely - 06:00:57 MDT / 20:41:47 MDT Grand Junction - 06:02:52 MDT / 20:38:03 MDT Steamboat Springs - 05:52:00 MDT / 20:35:04 MDT Grand Junction (KGJX) 07/17/24 10:38 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 15000 FT MSL...339/020 14400 FT MSL...330/018 14000 FT MSL...323/017 13300 FT MSL...336/016 13000 FT MSL...337/013 12600 FT MSL...347/017 12000 FT MSL...356/013 11700 FT MSL...342/017 11000 FT MSL...348/016 11000 FT MSL...356/012 10400 FT MSL...358/007 10200 FT MSL...002/013 10100 FT MSL...322/006 Grand Junction Aviation Discussion Issued at 0909 UTC Wednesday, July 17, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...

Issued at 445 AM MDT Wed Jul 17 2024 Mostly SKC skies this morning with light winds. Showers and thunderstorms will begin to develop over the mountains between 17Z and 19Z, becoming widely scattered through the afternoon. Most of the convective activity will occur along and north of a KBPI-KCPR line. Confidence is too low to include direct impacts at any terminal, so have opted for TEMPO/PROB30 groups instead. This convection will begin to wane by 00Z and ending across the area by 06Z. Wind gusts up to 30 kt will be the main threat from the storms. Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence forecasts. Cheyenne Aviation Discussion Issued at 1005 UTC Wednesday, July 17, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/... Issued at 1136 PM MDT Tue Jul 16 2024 Light easterly winds overnight will help pull in more moisture ahead of Wednesday. This will lead to a slight chance for IFR CIGs at KSNY and KAIA between about 11z and 15z. The probability is too low to add as a prevailing group, but hinted at the possibility with FEW clouds below 1000 ft. Showers and thunderstorms will develop quickly Wednesday afternoon around 19z, and continue to around 02 to 03z. All terminals will have the potential to see nearby lightning, gusty winds, and brief MVFR to IFR VIS in locally heavy rainfall, but confidence is too low to go beyond VCTS at this time. * * * * * Nebraska * * * * * METAR KIBM 171035Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM VCTS SCT120 15/14 A3024 RMK AO2 LTG DSNT SW T01470135 METAR KIBM 171015Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM SCT120 15/14 A3024 RMK AO2 T01490139 METAR KIBM 170955Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 14/13 A3024 RMK AO2 T01410131 KSNY 171014Z 1710/1806 14005KT 1/4SM FG VV003 TEMPO 1714/1715 1SM BR SKC FM171500 11010KT P6SM SKC FM172200 14010KT P6SM VCTS SCT060CB BKN100 FM180300 16008KT P6SM SCT100 SPECI KSNY 171043Z AUTO 00000KT 1/4SM FG VV002 14/13 A3020 RMK AO2 T01390133 SPECI KSNY 171030Z AUTO 13004KT 1/2SM FG VV001 14/14 A3020 RMK AO2 T01440144 SPECI KSNY 171009Z AUTO 14004KT 1/4SM FG VV002 14/13 A3019 RMK AO2 T01390133 METAR KOGA 171035Z AUTO 07004KT 10SM CLR 16/15 A3018 RMK AO2 T01620154 METAR KOGA 171015Z AUTO 07004KT 10SM CLR 16/15 A3017 RMK AO2 T01600153 METAR KOGA 170955Z AUTO 06003KT 10SM CLR 16/15 A3016 RMK AO2 T01600149 METAR KIML 170953Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 17/16 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP173 T01670156 METAR KIML 170853Z AUTO 13004KT 9SM CLR 17/16 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP172 T01720161 51004 METAR KIML 170753Z AUTO 09005KT 9SM CLR 18/17 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP174 T01780167 KMCK 170520Z 1706/1806 VRB06KT P6SM VCSH FEW100 SCT280 TEMPO 1706/1707 -TSRA SCT100CB FM171400 08009KT P6SM SCT220 METAR KMCK 170953Z AUTO 04003KT 7SM CLR 17/16 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP182 T01720161 METAR KMCK 170853Z AUTO 00000KT 9SM CLR 18/17 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01780167 53014 METAR KMCK 170753Z AUTO 34003KT 9SM FEW090 19/17 A3011 RMK AO2 SLP170 T01890172 North Platte (KLNX) 07/17/24 10:41 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 12000 FT MSL...340/034 12000 FT MSL...340/033 11000 FT MSL...342/029 10100 FT MSL...342/025 10000 FT MSL...342/024 9000 FT MSL...342/019 8600 FT MSL...341/017 8000 FT MSL...341/015 7400 FT MSL...346/014 7000 FT MSL...359/018 6300 FT MSL...001/015 6000 FT MSL...002/016 5500 FT MSL...005/017 5000 FT MSL...007/015 4700 FT MSL...018/016 4100 FT MSL...043/015 4000 FT MSL...050/014 3600 FT MSL...064/016 3400 FT MSL...066/016 North Platte Aviation Discussion Issued at 0816 UTC Wednesday, July 17, 2024 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1243 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2024 Ongoing rain showers persist across much of the panhandles early this morning with conditions remaining VFR. These rain showers will diminish and cease within the next few hours leaving fair weather conditions through to the afternoon hours. By the afternoon to evening hours rain showers and thunderstorms will redevelop and impact the panhandles. The most likely areas to be impacted is the western and northern panhandles with all TAF sites having at least a small chance of being directly impacted. The odds of rain showers and thunderstorms on station is highest at KDHT and lower for KAMA and KGUY. Even if the stations are directly hit conditions should remain VFR with possible dip down to MVFR. * * * * * New Mexico * * * * * KFMN 170537Z 1706/1806 08006KT P6SM SCT150 FM172000 26009KT P6SM SCT150 FM180000 11011KT P6SM VCSH BKN120 FM180300 14011KT P6SM BKN120 METAR KFMN 170953Z AUTO 06007KT 10SM CLR 23/07 A3017 RMK AO2 SLP135 T02280067 METAR KFMN 170853Z AUTO 06007KT 10SM CLR 23/07 A3017 RMK AO2 SLP134 T02280067 58001 METAR KFMN 170753Z AUTO 05006KT 10SM CLR 23/07 A3017 RMK AO2 SLP137 T02330067 METAR KSKX 170956Z AUTO 34009KT 10SM CLR 13/08 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP206 T01330083 METAR KSKX 170856Z AUTO 36008KT 10SM CLR 16/08 A3038 RMK AO2 SLP202 T01610083 53004 METAR KSKX 170756Z AUTO 35006KT 10SM OVC100 16/09 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP194 T01610089 KLVS 170537Z 1706/1806 08011KT P6SM BKN100 FM171600 10011KT P6SM SCT100 FM171900 12011KT 6SM -SHRA OVC080 TEMPO 1720/1722 VRB20G30KT 2SM -TSRA OVC040CB FM180100 03009KT P6SM VCSH OVC080 METAR KLVS 170953Z AUTO 01006KT 10SM BKN110 14/12 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP168 T01390122 METAR KLVS 170853Z AUTO 03006KT 10SM SCT110 14/12 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP171 60000 T01390122 55007 METAR KLVS 170753Z AUTO 01009KT 10SM FEW100 14/12 A3036 RMK AO2 SLP171 T01440122 METAR KRTN 170953Z AUTO 33006KT 10SM CLR 15/11 A3032 RMK AO2 SLP181 T01500106 METAR KRTN 170853Z AUTO 25007KT 10SM CLR 16/11 A3032 RMK AO2 RAE06 SLP173 P0000 60000 T01560106 51007 METAR KRTN 170753Z AUTO 20008KT 10SM -RA FEW060 SCT095 BKN120 17/12 A3031 RMK AO2 RAB52 SLP160 P0000 T01720117 METAR KCAO 170955Z AUTO 06004KT 10SM FEW110 18/14 A3022 RMK AO2 SLP157 T01780139 METAR KCAO 170855Z AUTO 36005KT 10SM CLR 18/14 A3023 RMK AO2 RAB00E11 SLP156 P0000 60000 T01780144 58002 METAR KCAO 170755Z AUTO 02004KT 10SM OVC110 18/17 A3024 RMK AO2 RAB18E40 SLP163 P0000 T01780167 Albuquerque (KABX) 07/17/24 10:34 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 25000 FT MSL...287/006 24000 FT MSL...275/009 22000 FT MSL...290/007 18000 FT MSL...018/003 17100 FT MSL...033/004 16000 FT MSL...336/016 15000 FT MSL...357/011 14800 FT MSL...353/011 14000 FT MSL...337/010 13000 FT MSL...246/006 13000 FT MSL...248/007 12000 FT MSL...200/013 11500 FT MSL...187/010 11000 FT MSL...192/014 10300 FT MSL...190/014 10000 FT MSL...190/016 9200 FT MSL...174/014 9000 FT MSL...181/014 8400 FT MSL...146/011 8000 FT MSL...160/015 7700 FT MSL...108/013 7000 FT MSL...123/016 7000 FT MSL...093/015 6500 FT MSL...096/016 6300 FT MSL...082/015 Albuquerque Aviation Discussion Issued at 0803 UTC Wednesday, July 17, 2024 .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1137 PM MDT Tue Jul 16 2024 An outflow boundary bringing a northeasterly to easterly wind shift across the eastern plains is also progressing westward to the central mountain chain. An east canyon squeezing through the gaps of the mountains into KSAF and KABQ is expected to commence b/w 06Z and 07Z. Current thinking is peak gusts will not supersede 35kts at KABQ but could reach close for a few obs. This boundary is evident on KABX radar and has past by K0E0 (Moriarty). Shower and isolated thunderstorm activity will wane overnight into Wednesday morning. The additional moisture behind the aforementioned boundary will allow for a significant uptick in thunderstorm activity across mostly central and eastern NM Wednesday afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms will favor initiation over the central mountain chain before tracking south- southeastward over the adjacent highlands late afternoon. Outflow boundary collisions will bring thunderstorm activity further into valley locations like KABQ and further out over the eastern plains like KTCC. Localized IFR/MVFR impacts can be expected from any passing storm and TEMPOs are included for various terminals. KFMN and KROW are the least likely terminals to experience a direct impact from convective activity. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 170000Z VALID 170600Z FOR USE 0500-0900Z.
