RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ENDING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH 04Z THIS

LOWEST CEILINGS OCCURRING BETWEEN 04Z AND 08Z ACCORDING TO BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS AND RH CROSS SECTIONS. CEILINGS COULD BE AS LOW AS 300
FEET AT APA AND 400 FEET AT DEN. AT BJC, CEILINGS SHOULD BE HIGHER

AT TIMES. ADDITIONALLY, LOW VISIBILITY IS POSSIBLE AT APA AND DEN-
AS LOW AS 3SM TO 4SM- BETWEEN 04 AND 08Z. CEILINGS BELOW 5000
FEET REMAIN LIKELY THROUGH 12Z AT ALL 3 SITES.
TOMORROW MORNING, FOG IS POSSIBLE IN WELD COUNTY, ESPECIALLY

VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO PREVAIL ACROSS ALL TERMINALS THOUGH
THE TAF PERIOD. SKC SKIES WILL PERSIST OVER NEARLY ALL TERMINALS
WITH THE ONLY EXCEPTION BEING KRKS, KPNA, AND KBPI WHERE RECENT
MOISTURE WILL KEEP SOME MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS NEARBY. FAIR
WEATHER MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS GRADUALLY BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR
WEDNESDAY. WINDS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN LIGHT ACROSS ALL TERMINALS
WITH A FEW BREEZES AROUND 15 KNOTS POSSIBLE. WINDS INCREASE SLIGHTLY
AROUND 18Z WEDNESDAY WITH KCPR, KPNA AND KBPI SEEING PERIODIC GUSTS
NEARING 20 KNOTS. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION IS EXPECTED TO BE MINIMAL
THROUGH MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZLC AND ZDV FOR

POTENT PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA THIS
EVENING, WITH CLEARING SKIES AND PRECIPITATION ENDING OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS. SOME DENSE FOG IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT OVER THE MORE
SHELTERED VALLEYS.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER
THE LAST FEW HOURS, SO HAVE VFR CONDITIONS GOING FOR MOST TERMINALS
THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY WITH CLEARING SKIES.
CONCERNS FOR FOG ARE INCREASING, ESPECIALLY FOR KLAR AND KRWL
TONIGHT WITH PLENTIFUL SURFACE MOISTURE AND CLEARING SKIES EXPECTED.
ADDED VCFG AND LIGHT MIST STARTING AT 03Z. IF HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL
TRENDS CONTINUE, MIGHT HAVE TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH DENSE FOG AT
THESE TWO LOCATIONS.

INCREASING MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL ENCOMPASS SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVES IN FROM THE WEST. LIGHT
RAIN MAY MAKE IT AS FAR EAST AS OGA/IML BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO
IMPACT LBF. AS CLOUDS DEPART TO THE EAST IN THE EARLY MORNING
WEDNESDAY, EXPECT PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
HAVE INCLUDED A MENTION AT BOTH LBF AND VTN THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS
HIGHER AT THE FORMER. BELIEVE IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY, AT
LEAST BRIEFLY, WITH LIFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE BUT NOT EXPLICITLY
MENTIONED DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE. CONDITIONS IMPROVE TOWARDS
MIDDAY WITH CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS.

LOWERED FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR ALL SITES OVERNIGHT.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO START THIS TAF CYCLE. WINDS WILL BE
OUT OF THE NORTHEAST BUT WILL BECOME NORTHERLY OVERNIGHT AROUND 10
KTS. LOW CLOUDS WILL ALSO MOVE IN OVERNIGHT CAUSING MVFR TO IFR
CEILINGS AT KAMA AND KGUY. THE LOW CLOUDS HAVE A VERY LOW CHANCE TO
MOVE AS FAR WEST AS KDHT AT THIS TIME. ADDITIONALLY, CANNOT RULE OUT
A ROGUE THUNDERSTORM NEAR KAMA AROUND 06Z, BUT THE POTENTIAL IS TOO
LOW TO MENTION AT THIS TIME. THE LOW CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR OUT BY 18Z
IF NOT SHORTLY BEFORE. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND BECOME VARIABLE
LATE IN THIS TAF CYCLE.
