.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday/...
Issued at 529 PM MDT Sat Oct 5 2024
Lingering gusty winds across the Denver metro will continue to
diminish over the next couple of hours, and winds have begun to
veer to the north ahead of a likely shift to easterly winds
between 02-03Z this evening. Overnight winds will be light and
under 10 kts, with S/SW drainage flow favored, but potential for
variable directions at times. Prevailing wind directions are quite
uncertain for Sunday, and will be dependent on exact location of
Denver cyclone. Will maintain current lean towards period of NE
winds based on (best) model consensus, although with a far enough
push to the NW, could see an intrusion of SE winds at KDEN after
20Z Sun.
VFR conditions are favored to prevail for all terminals through
the TAF period. However, wildfire activity in WY and UT will
continue to advect some smoke into the region through Sunday
night. At this time, expecting the first intrusion of smoke to
stay far enough NE of the Denver metro early Sunday AM (~04-08Z)
to be of any concern, although minor near-surface vis reductions
to 6-8SM will be possible below the inversion. Suspect the higher
potential for any higher smoke concentrations between 040-060 that
could impact slant visibility would be after 21Z Sun, with an
intrusion of smoke from our west.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 326 PM MDT Sat Oct 5 2024
VFR conditions expected at all three terminals over the next 24
hours. Winds will settle on a northerly direction at KCOS and
KPUB around 00z before the cold front moves through between
02-03z. Winds may briefly gust out of the northeast at 15-25 kts
at both terminals before weakening and shifting around from the
southeast towards morning. Winds will increase at both terminals
late Sunday morning with gusts up to 15-20 kts possible in the
afternoon.
KALS will see northerly winds around 10 kts this evening weaken
and become variable overnight. The cold front pushing through
the plains appears to be too shallow to funnel through La Veta
Pass. Winds on Sunday will increase out of the southeast
around 10 kts in the mid afternoon. -KT

As high pressure continues to dominate, skies will remain clear,
winds will remain light and terrain driven, and VFR conditions
will prevail. The only concern is smoke from a wildfire in the
western Uinta mountains. This smoke is already affecting KVEL,
and is expected to settle into the Grand Valley and up the
Colorado River Valley through the night as mixing decreases.
This could lead to periods of reduced visibility or low ceiling.
Currently only have Smoke and Haze in the TAFs for KVEL, KGJT,

Gusty winds will decrease quickly after sunset. Smoke is
another aviation weather concern, with KRIW and KLND dealing
with reduced visibility due to the Pack Trail fire to the west.
The sky remains clear of clouds over the next 24 hours, but
patches of thick wildfire smoke could act similar to cloud
layers at times. Satellite imagery currently shows the thickest
smoke over the Wind River Basin. Smoke layers AGL will likely
thin overnight, but could settle in valleys and basins, with
some reductions in surface visibility lingering at KRIW and
KLND.

Wind gusts will wind down quickly this evening, but increasing
coverage of FU/HZ from nearby wildfires in Western/Northern WY
will result in reduced VIS at times. Fluctuations to high-end
MVFR of 4 or 5 SM due to FU/HZ at times are possible this
evening, but overall expect VFR for all terminals for the
forecast period.

VFR conditions will prevail across western and north central
Nebraska through tomorrow evening. The gusty winds behind the cold
front are in the process of diminishing, and should be calmed this
evening and overnight. Generally light winds are expected today and
tomorrow, with a possible wind shift late tomorrow afternoon into
the evening, near the end of the effective TAF period. Timing of the
shift will most likely be caught in the following TAFs. Otherwise,
skies may be smoky from wildfires across Wyoming and the western
United States, however, no impacts to visibility are expected at
this time.

VFR flying conditions this TAF cycle for all terminals. Radar
observations show a cold front has just entered our area, and
will continue southward through the evening. Gusty southerly
winds ahead of it will flip to northeasterly upon the fropa.
There may be a brief period immediately after fropa when winds
will be strong, but this will likely be limited to HYS and maybe
DDC/GCK as boundary layer decoupling will suppress wind speeds.
Sunday morning, northeast winds will increase into the 15-20 kt
range gusting to 30 kts before weakening back down to aoa 12 kts
by 19-21Z.

Breezy northwest wind gusts near 25 kt will taper thru 8pm. Mid
level clouds lingering over the region late this afternoon will
dissipate more slowly after sunset. A backdoor cold front will
then enter northeast NM after midnight with northerly wind gusts
up to 35 kt around Clayton for several hours. The front is likely
to reach the central mt chain and Rio Grande Valley near sunrise.
The latest suite of hi-res models is slowing the progression of
these winds into the ABQ metro until after 9am. The strongest
gusts of only 20kt will be localized to areas immediately below
canyons. The surface pressure gradient will strengthen thru mid
to late day with a secondary period of east winds gusting to near
25 kt below canyons in the RGV after 4pm.
