Issued at 537 PM MDT Tue Oct 14 2025 VFR through the TAF period, though low confidence in the wind forecast. Well defined shear zone/boundary noted by TDEN and various surface observations, sitting from north of APA to KDEN/KCFO. Expecting that boundary to drift over DEN in the next hour or so before retreating back. Drainage will be slower to develop this evening as a result. Similar uncertainty with winds tonight into Wednesday morning, as guidance tries to advect a moist airmass back towards the terminals. The HRRR/RAP/3km NAM all get the edge of that airmass very close to DEN, and BUFKIT profiles would favor either dense fog or very low stratus near 12z. Added VCFG into the TAF but will need to watch trends closely. Forecast confidence doesn`t improve on Wednesday as strong southerly flow aloft will again attempt to mix down. Higher confidence at APA, and lowest confidence at DEN where there are hints of another boundary setting up near the field. Guidance has also trended towards a little more convection in the afternoon, further muddying the forecast and potential timing of the stronger southerly flow. * * * * * Southeast Colorado * * * * * METAR K4BM 150455Z AUTO 15015G21KT 10SM CLR 07/02 A3047 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 150435Z AUTO 15014G22KT 10SM CLR 07/02 A3047 RMK AO2 METAR K4BM 150415Z AUTO 15013G23KT 10SM CLR 07/02 A3047 RMK AO2 METAR KAFF 150455Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 11/08 A3017 RMK AO2 SLP166 T01130078 METAR KAFF 150355Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 10/05 A3017 RMK AO2 SLP177 T00990053 METAR KAFF 150255Z AUTO 34005KT 10SM CLR 11/06 A3016 RMK AO2 SLP180 T01130056 52011 KCOS 142335Z 1500/1524 18009KT P6SM BKN090 FM150200 16009KT P6SM SCT060 FM150700 14007KT P6SM SCT050 TEMPO 1509/1513 5SM BR BKN030 FM151600 17012KT P6SM FEW060 FM151800 17018G30KT P6SM SCT080 METAR KCOS 150454Z 10008KT 10SM CLR 13/10 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP176 T01280100 METAR KCOS 150354Z 07009KT 10SM CLR 12/09 A3019 RMK AO2 SLP190 T01220094 METAR KCOS 150254Z 07009KT 10SM CLR 14/10 A3018 RMK AO2 SLP182 T01390100 51011 METAR KFLY 150455Z AUTO 14003KT 10SM 11/10 A3023 RMK AO2 T01070095 METAR KFLY 150435Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM 11/09 A3023 RMK AO2 T01090094 METAR KFLY 150415Z AUTO 14003KT 10SM 11/10 A3023 RMK AO2 T01110096 KFCS 150400Z 1504/1610 17009KT 9999 FEW060 SCT080 QNH3001INS BECMG 1518/1519 18012G18KT 9999 SCT050 530309 QNH2987INS TEMPO 1521/1600 20020G30KT 520005 530509 BECMG 1601/1602 17012G18KT 9999 VCTS BKN060 OVC080 520303 530609 QNH2989INS BECMG 1605/1606 18012G18KT 9999 NSW OVC060 520303 530609 QNH2987INS BECMG 1609/1610 18012KT 9999 SCT050 520303 530609 QNH2987INS TX25/1522Z TN08/1513Z METAR KFCS 150455Z AUTO 31006KT 10SM CLR 12/07 A3014 RMK AO2 SLP183 T01180065 $ METAR KFCS 150355Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 13/07 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP185 T01270065 $ METAR KFCS 150255Z AUTO 32007KT 10SM CLR 14/06 A3012 RMK AO2 SLP186 T01400061 52010 $ KPUB 150036Z 1501/1524 21010KT P6SM FEW100 FM150200 13007KT P6SM SKC FM150800 26007KT P6SM SCT090 FM151000 VRB06KT P6SM BKN220 FM151700 15008KT P6SM SCT100 BKN200 FM151900 15015G25KT P6SM SCT070 METAR KPUB 150453Z 20013G22KT 10SM CLR 19/12 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP141 T01940117 METAR KPUB 150353Z 21007KT 170V230 10SM CLR 19/12 A3009 RMK AO2 SLP147 T01940117 METAR KPUB 150253Z VRB04KT 10SM CLR 20/11 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP149 T02000111 51021 METAR KVTP 150455Z AUTO 24014G25KT 10SM SCT003 BKN009 BKN014 08/07 A3052 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 150435Z AUTO 23014G21KT 10SM SCT005 SCT010 BKN014 08/07 A3052 RMK AO2 METAR KVTP 150415Z AUTO 23015G19KT 10SM SCT003 SCT009 BKN021 08/07 A3052 RMK AO2 METAR KTAD 150454Z AUTO 19021G32KT 10SM CLR 18/12 A3020 RMK AO2 PK WND 19036/0420 SLP156 T01780117 METAR KTAD 150354Z AUTO 19021G29KT 10SM CLR 18/12 A3020 RMK AO2 PK WND 20029/0353 SLP161 T01780117 METAR KTAD 150254Z AUTO 19014G24KT 10SM CLR 17/12 A3020 RMK AO2 PK WND 19027/0241 SLP169 T01720122 51013 METAR KLAA 150453Z AUTO 18006G15KT 10SM SCT120 20/14 A3011 RMK AO2 SLP152 T02000139 METAR KLAA 150353Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM FEW120 20/14 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP164 T02000139 METAR KLAA 150253Z AUTO 12005KT 10SM CLR 19/14 A3012 RMK AO2 SLP165 T01940139 51017 METAR KSPD 150456Z AUTO 19009KT 16/14 A3018 RMK AO1 SLP177 T01560139 METAR KSPD 150356Z AUTO 20008KT 16/14 A3019 RMK AO1 SLP177 T01610139 METAR KSPD 150256Z AUTO 21007KT 17/13 A3020 RMK AO1 SLP181 T01670133 53012 Sunrise/Sunset for 10/14/2025 Burlington - 06:58:29 MDT / 18:11:27 MDT Pueblo - 07:06:54 MDT / 18:21:48 MDT Lamar - 06:58:44 MDT / 18:13:57 MDT Pueblo (KPUX) 10/15/25 05:00 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 12000 FT MSL...285/021 11000 FT MSL...214/025 10000 FT MSL...223/022 9000 FT MSL...210/024 8600 FT MSL...224/022 8000 FT MSL...210/023 7700 FT MSL...217/026 7000 FT MSL...199/027 7000 FT MSL...201/027 6400 FT MSL...193/027 6000 FT MSL...186/033 5900 FT MSL...185/031 5700 FT MSL...180/026 Pueblo Aviation Discussion Issued at 2338 UTC Tuesday, October 14, 2025 .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/... Issued at 536 PM MDT Tue Oct 14 2025 KALS: Gusty south-southwest winds will persist into early evening, with low (around 30%) chances of showers at the terminal as rain continues over the higher terrain nearby. Beyond that, breezy south winds and cigs hovering around the high end of MVFR will last through this forecast period. Currently, showers are expected in the area Wednesday morning, but chances are too low to include any precip at the terminal for now. Left as VCSH to account for scattered showers in the Valley. KCOS: Gusty south-southeast winds will last for a few hours into this evening, weakening overnight. Cigs are expected to drop towards the high end of MVFR overnight. Early Wednesday morning, mainly between 09 and 15Z, southeast surface winds are expected to bring patchy stratus into the area, which may impact the terminal for periods of time.

Issued at 527 PM MDT Tue Oct 14 2025 MVFR ceilings are expected (60-80% confidence) to filter into KCOD, KWRL, and KCPR overnight. Recent trends have decreased the chance for MVFR ceilings at KJAC, KRIW, and KLND to around 20-30%, so mention has been removed at these terminals while maintaining FL035 groups. At KRKS and KCPR, gusty surface wind has been quickly diminishing as sunset Tuesday approaches. Gusty southerly surface wind between 15-30kts begin between 16Z-19Z at KRKS, KPNA, and KLND as the pressure gradient tightens. Scattered showers spread north across western Wyoming after sunset Tuesday, with impacts possible at KJAC and KPNA as early as 02Z and at KCOD around 04Z. Showers and a few thunderstorms generally spread to all other terminals Wednesday afternoon. However, confidence in direct impacts and timing is around 30%, so PROB30 groups reflect shower/thunderstorm chances. MVFR flight conditions could accompany any convection. 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 0452 UTC Wednesday, October 15, 2025 .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/... Issued at 1051 PM MDT Tue Oct 14 2025 Main aviation concern overnight and through the morning hours on Wednesday will be fog and low stratus east of the Laramie Range. IFR conditions are expected for these terminals due to dense fog and low CIGs. Fog and CIGs will slowly lift through the morning hours, however, low stratus may linger across the northern Nebraska panhandle through much of the day Wednesday. Another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible Wednesday evening and overnight. * * * * * Nebraska * * * * * METAR KIBM 150455Z AUTO 10007KT 1/4SM DZ OVC003 13/13 A3010 RMK AO2 T01260126 METAR KIBM 150435Z AUTO 10007KT 1/4SM DZ OVC003 13/13 A3011 RMK AO2 T01250125 METAR KIBM 150415Z AUTO 10006KT 1/4SM DZ OVC003 13/13 A3011 RMK AO2 T01250125 KSNY 142344Z 1500/1524 11010KT P6SM BKN009 FM150200 11010KT 1/2SM FG BKN008 FM151600 17010KT P6SM BKN006 FM151800 16015G25KT P6SM SCT010 METAR KSNY 150453Z AUTO 11008KT 1/4SM FG VV001 14/14 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP163 T01390139 METAR KSNY 150353Z AUTO 11009KT 1/4SM FG VV001 13/13 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP170 T01280128 METAR KSNY 150253Z AUTO 10011KT 1/4SM FG VV002 13/12 A3009 RMK AO2 SLP172 T01280122 51003 METAR KOGA 150455Z AUTO 11009KT 2 1/2SM BR OVC001 15/15 A3010 RMK AO2 T01510147 METAR KOGA 150435Z AUTO 11008KT 1 1/2SM BR OVC001 15/15 A3010 RMK AO2 T01500146 METAR KOGA 150415Z AUTO 11008KT 1 3/4SM BR OVC001 15/15 A3011 RMK AO2 T01490145 METAR KIML 150453Z AUTO 3SM BR CLR 14/14 A3009 RMK AO2 SLP184 T01440139 SPECI KIML 150421Z AUTO 3SM BR SCT002 14/14 A3009 RMK AO2 T01440144 SPECI KIML 150414Z AUTO 2 1/2SM BR BKN002 14/14 A3009 RMK AO2 T01440144 KMCK 150235Z 1503/1524 09008KT 6SM BR SCT250 WS015/18045KT TEMPO 1503/1505 2SM BR FM150500 11008KT P6SM SCT250 WS015/19045KT FM151700 17015G25KT P6SM SCT250 METAR KMCK 150453Z AUTO 12007KT 7SM CLR 16/14 A3011 RMK AO2 SLP190 T01560144 METAR KMCK 150353Z AUTO 08006KT 6SM BR CLR 16/14 A3011 RMK AO2 SLP192 T01560144 METAR KMCK 150253Z AUTO 07006KT 5SM BR CLR 15/14 A3011 RMK AO2 SLP190 T01500144 53006 North Platte (KLNX) 10/15/25 05:00 UTC Radar VAD winds Height Dir/Spd(kt) 9000 FT MSL...242/013 8600 FT MSL...240/013 8000 FT MSL...241/017 7400 FT MSL...232/020 7000 FT MSL...229/023 6300 FT MSL...207/030 6000 FT MSL...203/032 5500 FT MSL...194/035 5000 FT MSL...184/030 4700 FT MSL...179/023 4100 FT MSL...143/014 4000 FT MSL...153/018 3600 FT MSL...140/013 3400 FT MSL...123/009 North Platte Aviation Discussion Issued at 0436 UTC Wednesday, October 15, 2025 .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 628 PM MDT Tue Oct 14 2025 Showers and thunderstorms have been very sparse and isolated, and confidence in the overnight coverage is fairly low, despite forecast models insisting more development through the night. Activity that does develop tonight will favor central New Mexico, moving from south to north. Areas along and just east of the central mountain chain will remain prone to low stratus and MVFR to IFR ceilings with patchy fog also persisting through the morning Wednesday. Most locations will hover near the 1000 ft ceiling threshold between the IFR-MVFR category. However, isolated pockets of dense fog, namely near KLVS, KCQC, and KSRR will drop to the VLIFR category, shutting down airfields in 1/4 mile visibility and 200 ft ceilings. Low clouds and fog will be stubborn to erode away through the late morning and early afternoon Wednesday, but southerly winds are expected to increase and assist with this effort with widespread gusts of 20-30 kt. Showers and storms will be concentrated over north central New Mexico with a couple of strong to severe storms expected with hail, frequent lightning, and gusty downburst winds Wednesday afternoon. * * * * * Winds and Temperatures Aloft Forecasts * * * * * DATA BASED ON 150000Z VALID 150600Z FOR USE 0500-0900Z.
