Issued at 1033 PM MDT Sun Sep 29 2024
A wave passing by to the north over the next several hours will
keep a few stubborn showers and the occasional thunderstorm
going, mainly along and north of I-70. These showers and storms
have already proven capable of producing strong, gusty winds in
excess of 50 knots, frequent lightning, and brief heavy rain.
Skies should clear by daybreak, with winds remaining generally
light and terrain driven outside of the influence of storms. A
few fair weather cumulus will be possible during the afternoon
across the higher terrain, but otherwise expect clear skies to
prevail tomorrow, along with VFR conditions. Winds will be
westerly to northwesterly, and capable of gusting up to 25 knots
in the afternoon.

Issued at 1033 PM MDT Sun Sep 29 2024
A wave passing by to the north over the next several hours will
keep a few stubborn showers and the occasional thunderstorm
going, mainly along and north of I-70. These showers and storms
have already proven capable of producing strong, gusty winds in
excess of 50 knots, frequent lightning, and brief heavy rain.
Skies should clear by daybreak, with winds remaining generally
light and terrain driven outside of the influence of storms. A
few fair weather cumulus will be possible during the afternoon
across the higher terrain, but otherwise expect clear skies to
prevail tomorrow, along with VFR conditions. Winds will be
westerly to northwesterly, and capable of gusting up to 25 knots
in the afternoon.

A dry cold front tracks southward to start the TAF period, moving
from northern Wyoming southward. KCOD is the first to be impacted at
the very start of the period. Gusty winds 20 to 30 knots accompany
the initial passage of the front. These winds decrease within a
couple hours of frontal passage. The front moves through other sites
through the TAF period, shifting winds to a northerly/northeasterly
direction, excluding western-most sites (KBPI, KJAC, and KPNA).
Winds will be strongest for more northern sites, with lesser gusty
wind impacts the further south the front travels. KJAC and KRIW
could see a few gusts up to 20 knots Monday afternoon, but not
expecting it to be frequent, so have left out of the TAFs. A few
high clouds may accompany the front, but the sky should otherwise
remain clear to mostly clear.
The front also pushes the smoke from the Pack Trail fire southward.
This should move the thicker smoke out of the vicinity of KWRL near
the start of the period. However, the smoke begins to filter into
central Wyoming, including KCPR, KLND, and KRIW Monday morning.
Smoke should increase towards the afternoon as instability allows
greater smoke production. These central sites could see some
visibility reductions with the smoke, especially KRIW due to its
proximity to the fire. Have kept any mention out of the TAFs for now
due to lower confidence at this range (main smoke impacts look to
begin after 21Z/Mon). Will need to re-evaluate for future issuances.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

VFR conditions expected across area terminals through the
forecast period. Gusty southerly winds continue late this
evening across the Pine Ridge and near KCDR with gusts 25-35 kt.
A cold front will sweep across the region early Monday morning
switching winds to out of the north starting around 11z by KCDR
and 13z near KCYS/KSNY. Gusty northerly winds will continue
behind the frontal passage into Monday afternoon.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 830 PM MDT Sun Sep 29 2024
Overview: An abrupt northerly wind shift assoc/w a cold frontal
passage late Monday morning remains the primary aviation
concern. Otherwise, clear skies and benign weather will persist.
VFR conditions /clear skies/ will rule through the TAF period
at both terminals. South winds at 8-13 knots will prevail this
evening and overnight, shifting to the SW-WSW around or shortly
after sunrise (~12-14Z). Winds will abruptly shift to the N and
increase to 17-22 knots w/gusts up to ~30 knots in association
with a cold frontal passage late Monday morning (~17Z). The
precise timing of the frontal passage (FROPA) remains somewhat
uncertain. In other words.. FROPA could occur a few hours on
either side of 17Z. Breezy NNE to NE winds will prevail through
the afternoon and may persist for several hours after sunset,
eventually decreasing to 10-15 knots Monday evening (by 06Z Tue)
as surface high pressure builds southward over the Tri-State
area.

Broken VFR ceilings near BKN110 over the northwest half of NM
will continue to slowly dissipate overnight. On Monday, isolated
showers and a few thunderstorms will favor the northern mountains
and southwest mountains, with isolated, gusty virga showers
expected elsewhere. Near record high temperatures varying from
around 10 to 15 degrees above 1991-2020 averages will result in
abnormally high density altitude for late September/early October.
