A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE PRESENT ACROSS THE PLAINS THIS
EVENING. THE AIRPORTS COULD SEE A SHOWER OR TWO, BUT COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN ON THE LOW END, SO WE LEFT THE PROB30 IN THERE
FOR THIS EVENING. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE AROUND 02Z TO 03Z,
BRINGING AN END TO OUR PRECIP CHANCES FOR THIS TAF PACKAGE.
CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE TO HOVER AROUND 2000 TO 4000FT FOR THE
NEXT FEW HOURS, WITH CEILINGS SLOWLY IMPROVING OVERNIGHT. WINDS
OVERNIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING WILL GENERALLY BE FROM THE
SOUTHWEST OR LIGHT AND VARIABLE. BY LATE MORNING TOMORROW, WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE N/NNE.

PUEBLO AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2337 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 527 PM MDT THU APR 30 2026
MVFR CONDITIONS AT KCOS AND KPUB COULD DROP INTO THE IFR
CATEGORY FOR BOTH TERMINALS TONIGHT, BUT THIS WILL BE MOST
LIKELY AT KCOS ONCE WINDS SHIFT AROUND FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND
FOG DEVELOPS. BOTH VIS AND CIGS COULD DROP INTO THE LIFR
CATEGORY AROUND 12Z BUT WINDS LOOK FAIRLY LIGHT AND COULD STAY
NORTHERLY WHICH MAY KEEP CONDITIONS IFR. CIGS LIFT AROUND 15Z
WITH A SLOW IMPROVING TREND EXPECTED. SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE
AGAIN FRI AFTERNOON BUT ODDS LOOK TOO LOW AS THE ATMOSPHERE
REMAINS QUITE STABLE.
KALS WILL SEE VFR TO INTERMITTENT MVFR CONDITIONS AS SHOWERS
MOVE OVER THE SITE THROUGH THE EVENING. CIGS COULD REMAIN MVFR
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, THOUGH SHOULD RETURN TO VFR BY MID
MORNING FRIDAY. SHOWERS MAY AFFECT THE TERMINAL AGAIN FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AS THEY PUSH OFF THE MOUNTAINS. WILL CARRY VCSH FOR
NOW AFTER 22Z. -KT

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO LAST A FEW MORE HOURS BEFORE LOW
CLOUDS SHOW UP, ALONG WITH PROSPECTS OF RAIN. THIS TAF PERIOD IS
EXPECTED TO BE MESSY ESPECIALLY AFTER 06Z. KDHT HAS THE BEST
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, KAMA AND
KGUY MAY SEE SOME SHOWERS AS WELL PRIMARILY BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z.
THERE IS A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING AND THE EXTENT OF
LOWERED CIGS AND VIS DUE TO THIS SYSTEM COMING OVER THE PANHANDLES
TONIGHT. THUNDER IS NOT ANTICIPATED BUT AN ISOLATED RUMBLE HERE
AND THERE CANNOT BE RULED OUT. EXPECT MAINLY EASTERLY WINDS
AROUND 10 TO MAYBE 15 KTS THROUGH 12Z BEFORE THEY FALL OFF AND
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE IN THE LATTER PART OF THE PERIOD.
