.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday/...
Issued at 1021 AM MST Wed Jan 22 2025
Gusty N/NNW winds are still expected to gradually expand into the
urban corridor over the next 2-3 hours, although they will be
stronger due east of I-25 and particularly over the plains. Thus,
KDEN is best positioned to experience gusts 24-32 kts this
afternoon, with much lower confidence in any prolonged gusty
winds for KBJC and KAPA, hence the TEMPO groups. Winds will relax
this evening with a turn to W/SW flow under 9 kts. Near midday
Thu, expect shift to increasing W/NW winds.
All terminals will see VFR conditions through the TAF period.
.BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.

Issued at 1034 AM MST Wed Jan 22 2025
Expect mid to low ceilings with scattered snow showers through
the northern and central Colorado mountains through 12Z with
periods of MVFR and brief IFR conditions at mountain TAF sites.
Look for periods of conditions below ILS breakpoints at KASE,
KEGE, KRIL, KHDN and KTEX, especially with passing snow showers.
Gusty northerly winds pick up this afternoon with peak gusts over
25 mph TAF sites lasting into the early evening before the
inversion quiets them.

Expect mid to low ceilings with scattered snow showers through
the northern and central Colorado mountains through 12Z with
periods of MVFR and brief IFR conditions at mountain TAF sites.
Look for periods of conditions below ILS breakpoints at KASE,
KEGE, KRIL, KHDN and KTEX, especially with passing snow showers.
Gusty northerly winds pick up this afternoon with peak gusts over
25 mph TAF sites lasting into the early evening before the
inversion quiets them.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1038 AM MST Wed Jan 22 2025
A broad trough digs into the Great Plains, with the edge of the
trough clipping WY this afternoon, bringing northerly winds and
chances for snow showers, mainly east of the Continental Divide,
during the late afternoon and evening. VFR conditions are expected
to prevail at all terminals.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals
Snow showers will occur with the trough passage, however, there is
low confidence (30%) in direct impacts to any terminals. Most likely
timing of the snow showers is generally between 00Z and 06Z this
evening. MVFR conditions are expected with the snow showers. Mid-
level cigs around FL040-FL080 will occur through the afternoon with
cigs dropping to MVFR with any snow showers. Skies look to clear
quickly after 06Z, with SKC at most terminals by 12Z Thursday.
West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals
Gusty northwest winds will persist at KBPI and KPNA with gusts to
near 25kts through much of the period, decreasing late in the
period. Otherwise, mostly clear skies will exist through much of the
period. SCT to BKN FL080 decks could develop this evening, but will
clear out quickly. There is a slight chance (10%) of low clouds or
fog at KJAC between 11Z and 15Z Thursday, but confidence is too low
to include in the TAF.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1028 AM MST Wed Jan 22 2025
MVFR to VFR ceilings will be moving through the terminals as
lower clouds will be pushing south. Banded snow showers will be
passing through the area but unsure if some of the Wyoming
terminals will be hit. So Prob 30 was used to high light this
uncertainty as it will be tied to an incoming shortwave. These
periods of mid to lower clouds should be expected for today and
tomorrow looking at upstream observations on satellite.
