.DISCUSSION /Through Today/
...Issued at 315 AM MDT Mon May 12 2025

Only thing to consider for this aftn would be some dry microburst
activity as soundings have an inverted-V type structure with
decent DCAPE. Otherwise temps will be even warmer today with
readings in the mid 80`s to lower 90`s across nern CO.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday/...
Issued at 1111 PM MDT Sun May 11 2025

Winds were becoming SSW late this evening and will continue
overnight. By 15z expect light and variable winds. For Mon
aftn, winds may trend to light S or SSW by 21z. There is
a low potential (10%) for isold high based showers after 21z.
With large T-TD spreads certainly can`t rule out some dry
microburst activity but confidence is low on how much
activity there will be.

&&

.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
