.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday/...
Issued at 434 PM MST Fri Feb 7 2025
For wind...difficult forecast for next few hrs at KDEN preceding
FROPA, but lean towards shift from NE to lighter ESE for 2-3 hrs
before FROPA brings NE wings 04-05Z with gusts near 20 kts. These
shouldn`t be too long lasting, with mostly NE/E flow prevailing in
the morning before SE winds becoming more prevalent in the
afternoon and evening.
All terminals will be VFR through at least 08Z. Trended fcst
towards increased moisture and lower CIGS, with 3-5 hr period
mainly 10-15Z where BKN025-030 will be possible, along with light
SN showers. Best potential for showers will be in vcnty of KDEN,
hence the TEMPO for occsnl reductions to ~6SM, although confidence
is low given initially dry low levels.

Though winds will remain gusty on the terrain and at the
mountain TAF sites into the overnight hours, they subside in the
valleys this evening. Scattered rain and higher snow showers
will kick up across the higher terrain north of the I-70
corridor this evening, spreading south into the central
mountains by about 04Z and to the southern mountains by 08Z.
Conditions look to improve tomorrow morning although lingering
showers and low clouds are possible through the TAF period.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
The winter storm that has impacted the area all day is beginning to
move out. KBPI/KJAC/KPNA are all currently VFR. However, one last
round of snow is expected to impact KJAC by around 01Z, likely
bringing prevailing IFR visibility there for a few hours. KBPI and
KPNA are expected to remain VFR. The low IFR conditions at KRKS are
expected to be relatively short-lived and should increase to VFR as
the showers move out after 01Z. KJAC will hold on to occasional
VFR/MVFR snow impacts as snow lingers in and around the mountains
there through Saturday morning. Otherwise, wind will decrease after
sunset though remain breezy through the night. VFR conditions return
to all terminals by Saturday afternoon.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Lingering winter storm impacts are expected through the first
portion of the period, most likely at KCOD and KCPR. Snow is then
expected to taper off through the evening, with all terminals VFR by
early Saturday morning. The gusty wind seen all day will gradually
taper off through the evening. VFR conditions expected to persist
through Saturday.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Stratus this afternoon eroded before making it to the KMCK
terminal but with it still lingering a county east and county
south will maintain a FEW025. For KMCK through the evening
confidence has increased a little regarding IFR visibilities
and ceilings impacting the terminal. The question will be how
long will it last as a cold front moves across the area
overnight. If the fog can persist then dense fog is possible
along with some icing due to freezing fog. KGLD at this time is
not forecasted to see any fog or stratus concerns at this time.
As the cold front sweeps through winds will become northerly and
breezy to gusty. Confidence has also increased in stronger wind
potential with the stronger winds currently favoring KGLD where
gusts around 40 knots is possible. Winds will persist through
the morning Saturday before slowly waning. A period of flurries
or light snow is possible through the morning hours (mainly
after 14Z) for KGLD but not anticipating and flight category
impacts. Confidence in the flurries or light snow is around 10%
at this time.

Light upslope winds and a moist air mass will lead to fog
formation by 03-06z at KGCK and KDDC. Visibilities will likely
drop to 1/2 mile or less. There is uncertainty in how far east
the fog will develop so that KHYS may keep MVFR visibilities and
CIGS. North winds at 10-12 kts will develop after 06z and then
increase to 15 to 20 kts by 12z in the wake of a cold front. The
stronger winds will break up the fog by 10-11z at KGCK and
KDDC. With daytime heating by 14-15z, expect north winds to
increase to 20-25 kts along with VFR conditions.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 512 PM CST Fri Feb 7 2025
VFR conditions expected at the three terminals over the next 24
hours. The main take away will be the potential for some LLWS at
KDHT and KGUY especially when the surface winds decouple. A stout
low level jet of 40 to maybe 45 kts around 1k to 1.5k feet is
expected to impact these two terminals during the overnight
period, through about 12Z. Gusty winds should subside with the
setting of the sun but will still be about 10 to 12 kts out of the
southwest. After 12Z a cold front is expected to bring winds to
the north and pick back up to around 20 kts during the latter
parts of this TAF period.

Strong southwest winds will wane this evening across most areas,
though areas along and just downstream of the Central Mountain
Chain will continue to have gusts near 25 or 30kt through the
overnight period, including at KLVS. Winds just off the deck will
remain very strong, and LLWS is expected across all areas just
east of the Central Mountain Chain through the overnight period.
Around 12Z Sat, a backdoor cold front will press into northeast NM
and will continue to slide south and west through mid afternoon
before slowing its progress. Easterly gusts near 25 kts are likely
behind the front. Meanwhile, westerly winds will increase again
Saturday afternoon ahead of the front across western and central
NM. Gusts between 25 and 30kt are expected in these areas.
