.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday/...
Issued at 1159 PM MDT Wed Aug 27 2025
Generally VFR through the TAF period. A weak outflow boundary is
pushing south from convection near GXY, which has brought some
SCT/BKN020-050 north of the terminals. Expect this to be fairly
brief, but can`t completely rule out a brief shower around DEN
through around 08z. That outflow should also keep winds out of the
north most of the night, with weak drainage elsewhere.
Two main concerns through the rest of the TAF period will be (2)
potential for LIFR from low stratus/fog/mist closer to 12z
Thursday, and (2) another round of afternoon convection after
about 21z during the afternoon. Guidance is a little less
consistent with the morning fog, but a lack of high cloud cover
should at least help with tracking stratus (via GOES nighttime
microphysics RGB) through the overnight hours. The afternoon
convection looks widely scattered and I saw no reason to change
the previous PROB30.
VFR conditions should prevail Thursday evening into Friday
morning, but there is potential for more stratus/fog by early
Friday morning.

A few scattered showers continue across northeast Utah and
northwest Colorado early this morning. This should wrap up well
before daybreak. Some leftover clouds will linger around the
region, but ceilings shouldn`t be a widespread concern. However,
some clearing skies could introduce areas of fog in a few
valleys early Thursday morning. Showers and thunderstorms will
develop on terrain Thursday afternoon. Included PROB30 for TSRA
in afternoon for several terminals to account for this. Activity
will quickly taper off Thursday evening and VFR conditions
should be in command by the end of this period.

.AVIATION...Thursday 28/06Z through Friday 29/06Z...Mainly VFR
conditions are forecast. Scattered SHRA/TSRA are possible over
western and northwest Arizona on Thursday as remnant moisture from
Tropical Storm Juliette makes its way across the area. The rest
of Northern Arizona should see isolated SHRA/TSRA from 18Z
through 06Z. Expect brief MVFR conditions in/near stronger TSRA
along with the potential for Gusty/erratic winds. Otherwise,
west winds at 5-15 kts are anticipated.
OUTLOOK...Friday 29/06Z through Sunday 31/06Z...Mainly VFR
conditions are expected. The scattered SHRA/TSRA threat will
continue over western and northwest Arizona Thursday night.
Elsewhere Thursday night, only isolated activity. For Friday and
Saturday, look for isolated SHRA/TSRA as drier air moves in.
Brief MVFR conditions in/near stronger TSRA along with the
potential for Gusty/erratic winds. Otherwise, west winds at 5-15
kts during the day becoming light and variable at night.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1040 PM MDT Wed Aug 27 2025
VFR conditions currently prevail across nearly all terminals the
only exception being KCPR due to low ceilings. Conditions are
expected to improve for most terminals through the night as
lingering showers dissipate. Overnight, low clouds and perhaps even
fog are may develop at several terminals (10 to 20% chances) with
greatest chances at KBPI, KPNA, KJAC, and KCPR. There is not enough
confidence to add any prevailing groups as confidence remains low
still. However it is possible to see IFR to LIFR conditions through
parts of Thursday morning (10Z through 16Z timeframe). By late
morning, more significant clearing is expected ahead of the next
shortwave.
Shower and thunderstorm activity increases again Thursday afternoon
with this next shortwave. Coverage is going to be more limited with
most terminals seeing around 30% chance of a stray shower or
thunderstorm starting near 19Z Thursday through 03Z Friday. Some
clearing should occur by the end of the TAF period across all
terminals. Mountains will likely see periods of obscuration as
precipitation and lower clouds move across the area.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Another round of showers and thunderstorms Thursday as a weak
stationary front develops near the Laramie Range. Primary forecast
challenge tonight and early Thursday morning will be fog and low
stratus across the eastern plains.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: Persistent rainfall is coming to an end
tonight for most terminals. May see light rain continuing for KAIA
and KCYS over the next hour or two, but this activity should
dissipate shortly after 06z. Low confidence Aviation forecast for
KCYS, KBFF, KSNY, and KAIA through 15z Thursday with VFR conditions
expected to continue for KRWL, KLAR, and KCDR. Mixed signals for fog
tonight with weak upslope flow...at best, mid to high cloud cover,
but plentiful rainfall for far SE Wyoming and the central/southern
NE panhandle. Probabilities for fog have trended lower (20% to 30%)
compared to the last few hours , but can`t rule it out between 08z
and 14z Thursday...especially for KBFF, KAIA, and KSNY. Regardless,
still expect IFR CIGS at most of these terminals after 08z.
Afternoon thunderstorms will mainly impact KLAR and KCYS Thursday
afternoon, with a lower chance at KBFF and KRWL. Added PROB30 groups
for the most likely timing.

at time across portions of southwest and western Nebraska,
including KLBF terminal. There may also be areas of patchy fog
this morning. By late morning cigs should start to lift with VFR
conditions returning for western and southwest Nebraska in the
afternoon. Winds will remain light overnight around 5 to 10 kts
or less. Then winds will shift to the southeast in the

Upslope flow associated with entrenched east to northeast
surface winds lead to worsening aviation conditions overnight.
Ceilings will continue to fall, reaching LIFR at KGLD and KMCK
by 09z. Fog is also expected with prevailing visibility of 1 mile
or less at both sites. Conditions should improve after 15z as
ceilings rise to IFR and MVFR.

A weather system moving through will provide the TAFs the opportunity
of VCTS/TSRA through the overnight hours. In addition, considerable
low level moisture will result in a continuation of low cigs with
IFR conditions likely. Winds will be light E to SE 5-15 kt.

VFR conditions prevail and are forecast to persist through the TAF
period, with a couple of exceptions. MVFR conditions are possible in
patches of low stratus across eastern NM early Thursday morning, but
probabilities are too low to include in TAFs. Brief MVFR conditions
are likely in isolated showers and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon
and early evening. Otherwise, winds will be light except for
strong/erratic gusts in/near storms Thursday afternoon/evening.
