LOOKS LIKE A SLIGHTLY STRONGER PUSH TO THE UPSLOPE WINDS IS STILL
NORTH OF DIA AT THIS TIME WITH WIND DIRECTIONS MORE DUE NORTHERLY
AND SPEEDS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAT WHAT IS CURRENTLY OCCURRING AT
THE BIG AIRPORT. HOWEVER, MODELS KEEP THE WIND DIRECTIONS MORE
EAST-NORTHEAST THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON
THAT. ANYWAY, SOME FORM OF LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE WINDS ARE PROGGED TO
CONTINUE ALL NIGHT AT DIA. THE AIRMASS WILL COOL OFF DECENTLY, BUT
IT IS STILL PRETTY DRY. WILL START TO BRING THE CEILINGS DOWN IN
THE PROB30 GROUP BY 04Z. SOUNDINGS AND CROSS SECTIONS POINT TO A
BKN-OVC010-030 RANGE FOR CEILINGS FROM 06Z-12Z. VISIBILITIES WILL
BE IN THE 1-3SM -SH/-SHSN RANGE FROM 06Z-12Z. CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO IMPROVE RAPIDLY BY 13Z-14Z, WITH NO CELLING OR
VISIBILITY ISSUES AFTER THAT.

ISSUED AT 346 PM MST SUN JAN 18 2026
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AT TERMINALS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. SOME GUIDANCE IS HINTING AT FOG IN UPPER JACKSON HOLE
TONIGHT, BUT CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW FOR THIS TO IMPACT KJAC AND WILL
NOT INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST. WIND WILL REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING, WITH A SLIGHT INCREASE AT KRKS AFTER 19Z.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
THE GUSTY WINDS SEEN ALONG A COLD FRONT TODAY WILL DECREASE WITH
SUNSET. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE (20%) FOR SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS
THIS EVENING BUT THESE ARE NOT EXPECTED TO IMPACT TERMINALS. BROKEN
TO OVERCAST VFR CEILINGS WILL BE SEEN AT MOST TERMINALS TONIGHT;
KCPR AND KLND WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE AT SEEING CEILINGS DROP TO
NEAR MVFR, BUT VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FOR NOW.
CLOUDS WILL DECREASE BY SUNRISE WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED
MONDAY AFTERNOON. KCPR WILL SEE ELEVATED WESTERLY WINDS ON MONDAY
WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KNOTS; LIGHT WIND IS EXPECTED ELSEWHERE.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

SOME LIGHT RETURNS BUT WEBCAMS SHOW DRY CONDITIONS UNDERNEATH
THE RADAR REFLECTIONS. CLOUD CEILING MAY DROP TO AS LOW AS
3,500FT BUT AROUND 5,000FT IS THE LOWEST OBSERVATION SO FAR.
CLOUDS LOOK TO CLEAR BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

WINDS HAVE QUIETED DOWN AT ALL TERMINALS WITH A COUPLED OF
LOCATIONS EVEN REPORTING VARIABLE DIRECTION THANKS TO THE PRESENT
SURFACE LOW. CONDITIONS DO LOOK TO STAY VFR THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER, A BROKEN TO OVERCAST CLOUD DECK IS ALSO
EXPECTED TO BUILD DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOUR OF MONDAY WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF A FRONT. POTENTIAL FOR SNOW IS PRESENT WITH THIS FRONT,
BUT LATEST CAMS ARE ONLY SEEING KGUY HAVE VERY LOW CHANCES OF
ANY IMPACTS TO THE TERMINAL.
