Winds will be light and variable throughout the morning hours. With
increased moisture and instability this afternoon, the chance for
storms to impact the terminals is higher today than Sunday. There
appears to be a likely chance that an outflow boundary moves
through all the terminals with gusts up to 36 knots. However, the
chance that a storm directly impacts a terminal is 30% with the
exception of APA as a TEMPO group for a thunderstorm was added due
to better coverage of storms on the south side of the Denver metro.
Southeast winds this evening will shift to drainage around
midnight.

Issued at 524 AM MDT Mon Aug 18 2025
VFR conditions anticipated across the forecast area over the next 24
hours, including the three main TAF sites of KCOS, KPUB and KALS.
Surface winds are forecast to be diurnal in direction and generally
under 15 kts. Have updated the TAFs to account for a higher
probability of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon,
particularly at KCOS. Storms are expected over the Palmer
between 21-01Z, though may be isolated to scattered in nature.
Have put in a TEMPO group for this, along with an added PROB30
group at KPUB around the same time, as some storms may also
manage to move off of the Wet Mountains. Gusty outflow to 30
knots or so will be possible.

VFR conditions and light winds less than 15kts will prevail at all
terminals through the period. High pressure will begin to build
today, bringing quieter weather for the next several days. Shower
and thunderstorm chances will be much less widespread today. 20 to
30% chances will generally remain isolated to the Absarokas, but
there is enough confidence in weak showers spreading over the Cody
Foothills to include a PROB30 group for KCOD. The only other note in
the forecast is possible wildfire smoke impacts for KWRL. HRRR smoke
forecasts indicate that despite light winds, smoke from the Red
Canyon fire east of Thermopolis will again plume out today, and that
smoke could drift north, briefly impacting KWRL with MVFR vsby
possible at times through the period.
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 over the next 24 hours outside of any
strong to severe thunderstorms that pass over sites, which could
bring locally MVFR or lower conditions from heavy rainfall.
Thunderstorms most likely during the afternoon and early evening
hours, with the strongest storms expected in the Nebraska
Panhandle, most likely to affect those terminals. Overall
prevailing winds should be on the light side, generally 5 to 15
knots, though some rare stronger gusts could be possible, with
gustier and erratic/variable winds possible near or under any
passing thunderstorms. CIGs remaining mid to high level, 10-20k
feet, with skies clearing tonight after storms move out of the
region.

VFR conditions are currently forecast for each terminal. Given
the clear skies and light winds I can`t completely rule out some
brief reduction in visibility due to radiational fog between 12
and 14Z. Winds will slowly become more easterly throughout the
day as a surface low passes across the area. Continuing to watch
the potential for strong to possibly severe storms for each
terminal this evening. Storms may remain north of the GLD
terminal so will maintain the PROB30; as for MCK do have some
concern that storms will gust out and therefore not impact the
terminal so also will leave as PROB30. Some fog/stratus may
develop towards the end of the period for each terminal but will
be dependent on how storm chances evolve later today.

There are no major aviation weather concerns for this TAF cycle.
It still looks like thunderstorm chances at any of the four
airports DDC, GCK, LBL, HYS to include in this TAF, as the best
area for organized convection will be northwest of our southwest
Kansas terminals. VFR flight category will prevail in the
continued warm air mass preventing low stratus cloud
development.

For the most part VFR conditions will prevail at all TAF site over
the next 24 hours. Few to sct high clouds through the TAF period,
and winds around 10kts mainly out of the south. Time to focus will
be the 21-03z time, where PROB30s for thunderstorms are noted.
Storms could be slow moving so might impact a TAF site for more
than an hour depending on when it occurs. Otherwise a pretty quiet
TAF period.

Scattered showers and storms will develop around 17Z, favoring
southern and eastern portions of the forecast area through the

the terrain, producing wind gusts up to 40KT. VFR conditions will
continue to prevail, outside of brief MVFR to IFR visibility under
stronger storms. Convective coverage will decrease after 02Z,
with only a few showers lingering past 06Z.
