AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 501 AM MDT FRI JUL 31 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS ARE
CURRENTLY LIGHT AND GENERALLY FROM THE NORTHWEST AT ALL TERMINALS.
EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS BEFORE NORTHEAST
WINDS TAKE PLACE. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
THIS AFTERNOON, HOWEVER THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH EXACT
COVERAGE OF STORMS. HAVE KEPT THE PROB30 AS IS FOR THIS REASON.
MAIN CONCERNS WILL BE LIGHTNING AND OUTFLOW WINDS OF 30-35 KTS.
WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT, GUIDANCE HAS SMOKE FROM WILDFIRES IN
THE NORTHWEST ADVECTING SMOKE INTO THE PLAINS BY THE AFTERNOON.
DUE TO MODEL RUN CONSISTENCY, HAVE OPTED IN TO PUT SMOKE IN THE
TAF FOR DEN, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SLANT-WISE VISIBILITY ISSUES
ON APPROACHES.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/

KCOS, KPUB, AND KALS: VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THIS TAF PERIOD,
HOWEVER, ANOTHER ROUND OF MONSOONAL THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY FOR KCOS AND KPUB. IF ONE OF THESE
THUNDERSTORMS WERE TO IMPACT A TAF SITE, REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITY
FORM HEAVY RAIN, ALONG WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND GUSTY OUTFLOW
WINDS, COULD BE EXPECTED. BEYOND ALL OF THAT, POCKETS OF MID TO HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS WILL BE IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON, WITH WINDS HOVERING
AROUND 10 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON AT ALL THREE TAF SITES.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 412 AM MDT FRI JUL 31 2026
LARGELY VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY. THE
MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FOR POSSIBLY CONVECTION, MAINLY BETWEEN 20Z
TODAY TO AROUND 03Z SATURDAY. WITH THE MODELS CONTINUED POOR
PERFORMANCE ON PLACEMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, WE HAVE
DECIDED TO INCLUDE PROB30 GROUPS AT ALL TAF SITES (FOR A 15 TO
25 PERCENT CHANCE) OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS. WE LEFT OUT
KRKS SINCE THE CHANCE IS AROUND 10 PERCENT. WIND SHOULD
GENERALLY REMAIN UNDER 12 KNOTS EXCEPT IN AND NEAR ANY SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM WHERE WIND GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE. ALL
CONVECTION SHOULD END BY 05Z WITH MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS AFTER
THAT.

ISSUED AT 1147 UTC FRIDAY, JULY 31, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 545 AM MDT FRI JUL 31 2026
A WEAK DISTURBANCE ALOFT WILL DIG SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION TODAY,
RESULTING IN SOME WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHEAST
WYOMING. DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE FOR THE WESTERN NEBRASKA
TERMINALS TODAY AND THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. ANY LOW STRATUS AND MVFR CIGS HAVE LIFTED OVER WESTERN
NEBRASKA EARLY THIS MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING WILL MAINLY IMPACT KLAR AND KCYS, SO ADDED PROB30 GROUPS.
CAN'T RULE OUT KRWL AND KBFF SEEING THUNDERSTORMS, BUT CONFIDENCE IS
LOWER. NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL SHIFT INTO THE EAST THIS
AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 15 TO 20 KNOTS AT TIMES.

ISSUED AT 603 AM CDT FRI JUL 31 2026
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS MORNING CONTINUES TO EITHER WANE OR
TRANSITION SOUTH OF OUR AREA. IMPACTS TO THE KAMA OR KDHT
TERMINAL ARE UNLIKELY AS LONG AS REDEVELOPMENT DOES NOT OCCUR IN
OUR AREA. AMENDMENTS MAY BECOME NECESSARY AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR
IF THUNDERSTORMS PERSIST; HOWEVER, OUR CONFIDENCE HIGHER THAT WE
WILL CONTINUE TO CLEAR OUT INSTEAD.
SURFACE WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BECOME NORTHERLY AND THEN
NORTHEASTERLY BEHIND A FRONT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO
GENERATE ALONG THIS FRONT AND POTENTIALLY IMPACT THE KAMA AND KDHT
TERMINALS THIS EVENING. YET, LATEST 06Z MODEL RUNS SUGGEST
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS A HIGHER CHANCE OF SETTING UP SOUTH OF
THE TAF SITES TODAY, LEAVING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES LOWER THAN
PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS. PROB30 GROUPS WILL BE MAINTAINED FOR NOW,
SINCE THERE ARE STILL SOME UNCERTAINTIES ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE
FRONT. IF THE FRONT DOES MOVE FURTHER SOUTH TODAY, MENTIONS OF
THUNDER WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED.
