.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday/...
Issued at 615 PM MDT Tue Aug 5 2025
VFR through Wednesday, but there will be wildfire smoke in the
area. The main plume is expected to stay north of the Denver area
through Wednesday morning, but there could be some slant
visibility issues in the morning. The plume late Wednesday could
be closer to Denver, but should be mainly aloft through the day.
Winds will be light and variable through about 03z, then normal
drainage patterns with south at KDEN/KAPA and west at KBJC.
There`s some uncertainty about midday Wednesday winds, likely
either light or west around 10 knots, then easterly winds around
10 knots will likely develop.

Winds will remain light through the first half of the period,
with gusts over 20 kt occurring at KJAC by 19Z, with the rest of
the sites starting between 20Z and 22Z. These winds are expected
to once again dissipate by 02Z. Conditions will remain dry
through the period, although there is a 10% or less chance of a
virga shower near KWRL between 22Z and 01Z.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1103 PM MDT Tue Aug 5 2025
VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the TAF period.
Winds will be a bit pesky. Before 9Z, both sites may see some
occasional gusts up around 20 kts, however a surface high will
be moving in from northeastern Colorado which will weaken winds.
Because of how sporadic the surface gusts will be, I`ve included
LLWS for KMCK at 40 kts from the south until 9Z. KGLD has weaker
flow, so LLWS does not seem to be likely.
As the high moves closer, winds at KGLD will generally work in a
clockwise fashion throughout the rest of the period, but
generally remain fairly light. Around 12Z, southwesterly winds
are favor, favoring north westerly by 15Z. Around 18Z, winds
might get closer to the 10-13 kts mark. By 21Z, northeasterly
flow is favored, followed by southeasterly after 0Z. The surface
high looks to remain south of KMCK, allowing for generally east
to southeasterly flow for majority of the TAF period.
Guidance is showing a signal for fog impacting KMCK around 12Z
Thursday, so the next TAF period will focus more on that.

Expecting VFR conditions to continue throughout the TAF period. Breezy

VFR sky conditions are forecast at all sites throughout the 06z
TAF period, but some LLWS is expected tonight thanks to sfc winds
of 10-15 kts with a strengthening ~50kt LLJ overhead across much
of the Panhandles. A boundary will temporarily shift winds to the
NW at KGUY and KDHT later today, before returning to southerly
through the end of the period. Otherwise, expect winds generally
out of the south at 10-20 kts with slightly higher gusts at times.
