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.

Winds remain a concern today as a strong upstream storm moves
through the Intermountain West. Strong southerly gradient winds
should lead to widespread gusts of 25 to 30 knots by the peak
heating hours with some gusts over 35 knots possible (especially
at KVEL). Otherwise VFR conditions are forecast through the TAF
period.

The last few lingering showers dissipate the first few hours of
the period. VFR conditions are expected overnight and through
the day Monday. Winds begin to increase once again Monday
morning, with widespread gusts 25 to 35 knots through the
afternoon. No precipitation is expected Monday, though there
could be a few showers over far northwest Wyoming late in the
period, but no impacts are expected at KCOD or KJAC through the
end of the period.

VFR conditions expected for the forecast period. Lingering
high-based showers will continue to have the potential to
produce gusty winds and a few sprinkles over the next few hours,
but should wane by around 09z. Expect gusty winds Monday

VFR conditions are forecast for the next 24 hours. High
temperatures will climb well above 1991-2020 averages today, so
there will be deep atmospheric mixing and gusty winds in the
afternoon area-wide. High resolution models expect enough mid-
level moisture for some gusty virga showers over central areas
this afternoon until sunset. These virga showers are likely to
produce localized, brief, and erratic wind gusts up to 40 KT,
potentially impacting KABQ, KAEG, and KSAF. The flow aloft will
strengthen with sunset, so the afternoon wind gusts will persist
into Monday night in many locations. Surface winds will probably
only decouple from the strong flow aloft in the lowest valley
bottoms near or after midnight Monday night, with places like
Gallup, Las Vegas, Angel Fire, and Ruidoso remaining at least
occasionally gusty all night long. Further, there will probably
be some low level wind shear in the Four Corners area for the
remainder of tonight. Low level wind shear looks to become more
widespread over the western half of the forecast area Monday
night, and to a lesser extent over south-central and southeast
areas including Ruidoso and Roswell.
