AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 436 PM MST THU JAN 22 2026
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MOST OF TONIGHT, WITH MVFR CONDITIONS
FOLLOWING AS EARLY AS 09Z. LOW CLOUDS OF 2000-3000 FT (AND BRIEFLY
1000-1500 FT) ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW. THERE IS
SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE WINDS TONIGHT AND INTO
TOMORROW FOR DEN AND APA. A DENVER CYCLONE WILL DEVELOP THIS
EVENING, WHICH WILL BRING A PERIOD OF SOUTHEAST WINDS, GENERALLY
LESS THAN 15 KTS. DEPENDING ON THE EVOLUTION AND TRACK OF THE
CYCLONE, WINDS COULD TRANSITION TO NORTHEAST AND THEN SOUTHWEST
TONIGHT, OR STAY SOUTHEAST AND EVENTUALLY TRANSITION TO SOUTHWEST.
REGARDLESS, CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER OF WINDS EVENTUALLY SOUTHWEST BY
12Z-14Z. FOR TOMORROW, ANOTHER CYCLONE MAY DEVELOP, WHICH WILL
BRING A PERIOD OF LIGHT AND VRB WINDS. GENERALLY EXPECT WINDS FROM
THE NORTHWEST TRANSITIONING TO NORTHEAST.
LASTLY, SNOW IS EXPECTED BEGINNING LATE FRIDAY NIGHT FOR ALL
TERMINALS. HOWEVER, HI-RES GUIDANCE HAS CONTINUED TO INDICATE A
LATER ONSET TIMING OF PRECIPITATION. FOR THIS REASON, HAVE OPTED
OUT OF INCLUDING SNOW IN THE TAF FOR NOW.

AT KALS, VFR THE NEXT 24 HRS, WITH GRADUALLY LOWERING VFR CIGS
DURING THE DAY FRI. WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL BE MAINLY LIGHT SELY,
BEFORE SWITCHING TO THE S-SW AND INCREASING MIDDAY FRI, WITH
GUSTS OVER 20 KTS AFTER 19Z.
AT KPUB AND KCOS, VFR FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT, BUT WITH A
PERSISTENT SE SURFACE WIND, EXPECT LOWER CLOUDS TO BEGIN TO
DEVELOP 12Z-14Z, WITH MVFR CIGS AT BOTH SITES THROUGH THE DAY
FRI. COULD SEE SOME BRIEF IFR CIGS AND LIGHT SNOW FLURRIES AFTER
20Z AT KCOS, BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT
THIS POINT. DO EXPECT STEADIER SNOW AND IFR CONDITIONS TO
DEVELOP FRI EVENING AT BOTH TERMINALS, CONTINUING THROUGH THE

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH AT LEAST 10Z AT KGLD AND
KMCK WITH MVFR STRATUS OVERSPREADING NORTHWEST KS AND SOUTHWEST
NE IN THE 10-15Z PERIOD ALONG WITH LIGHT SNOW. EVENTUALLY SNOW
INTENSITY WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
RESULTING IN REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND THE POTENTIAL (30%
CHANCE) FOR IFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP BY THE END OF THE TAF
PERIOD. WINDS DO INCREASE FROM THE EAST-SOUTHEAST TO THE 12-15KT
RANGE, AND WINDS MAY PERIODICALLY GUST TO 25KT DURING THE
AFTERNOON. COMBINED WITH FALLING SNOW THIS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE
POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS DUE TO MINOR
BLOWING SNOW BEFORE WINDS DECREASE FRIDAY EVENING.

VFR FLYING CONDITIONS PREVAIL ACROSS ALL TERMINALS AT THE
BEGINNING OF THIS TAF CYCLE. HOWEVER, FLYING CONDITIONS WILL
BEGIN TO DETERIORATE AFTER 06Z WITH CIGS AT ALL TERMINALS
DROPPING TO MVFR BY LATE FRIDAY MORNING. ADDITIONALLY, WINDS
WILL INCREASE AROUND THAT TIME FRAME FROM THE CURRENT LIGHT AND
VARIABLE TO THE 13-18 KT RANGE GUSTING TO 23-28 KTS OUT OF THE
EAST-NORTHEAST. TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD, LIGHT SNOW MAY
HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHWEST KS, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN
REDUCED VISIBILITY, BUT CONFIDENCE IN TIMING/LOCATION WAS TOO
LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH ABOUT 10-12Z AT ALL TAF SITES,
WITH CONDITIONS FALLING TO MVFR/IFR THEREAFTER, AND POSSIBLY LIFR
LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD. A WINTER STORM IS ON THE WAY AND THE LOW
CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO START AROUND 10Z WITH POSSIBLE FREEZING
DRIZZLE AT KAMA FROM 10Z ONWARD. RIGHT NOW CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW
TO HAVE THIS ADDED TO KDHT AND KGUY AS THE SURFACE LAYER MAY BE
TOO DRY, AND IT MAY BE COLD ENOUGH TO GET SNOW CRYSTALS, SO IF
PROB30S OR TEMPO GROUPS WOULD BE ADDED TO THOSE SITES WOULD LEAN
MORE TOWARDS LIGHT SNOW. WINDS WILL MAINLY BE OUT OF THE EAST TO
NORTHEAST FOR MOST OF THE TAF PERIOD.
