NEAR ANY THUNDERSTORMS. BRIEF INSTANCES OF MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS
CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN A HEAVIER SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM. MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED.
BREEZY WINDS, WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 TO 30 KTS, AT KRKS, KRIW, KCPR,
KPNA, AND KBPI WILL DIMINISH AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING. WINDS

WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA TONIGHT, GREATLY
LIMITING SHOWER COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND OVERNIGHT.

HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE
SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS WITH RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS TONIGHT
THROUGH MOST OF WEDNESDAY. ANY REMAINING SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD
DIMINISH BY 02Z. FOR WESTERN NEBRASKA, THERE IS A MODERATE CHANCE
(20% TO 40%) OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING (05Z TO 14Z). PROBABILITIES FROM HIGH RES ENSEMBLE
GUIDANCE HAVE INCREASED SLIGHTLY, SO ADDED SOME MENTION OF IFR
CONDITIONS OR VCFG.

FOG REDUCING VISIBILITY UNDER ONE HALF TO ONE QUARTER MILE AT TIMES.
ALSO EXPECTING THIS TO KEEP LOWER CEILINGS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT

KGLD MAY SEE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION (25%) BEFORE 01Z AS SOME
WEAKENING THUNDERSTORMS MOVE IN FROM COLORADO. LIGHT AND
VARIABLE WINDS WILL DOMINATE UNTIL TOMORROW AFTERNOON WHEN
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL PICK UP. WE ARE EXPECTING STORMS TO IMPACT
THE AIRPORT IN THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. THERE IS ALSO A 10%
CHANCE FOR FOG TO IMPACT KGLD TOMORROW MORNING.
KMCK, WINDS LOOK TO LARGELY REMAIN LIGHT AND VARIABLE. THERE
WILL BE A FEW HOURS OF VFR THIS EVENING BEFORE FOG MOVES IN.
CURRENT FORECAST SHOWS IFR VISIBILITIES STARTING AROUND 8Z, BUT
THIS COULD EASILY DROP TO AIRPORT MINIMUMS. THIS COULD ALSO BE
FREEZING FOG, LEADING TO RAPID ICING. CONDITIONS LOOK TO IMPROVE
AROUND 14-15Z TOMORROW MORNING, AND SOME ADDITIONAL SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

GUSTY WEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT MOST TERMINALS THROUGH AROUND
02Z THIS EVENING. A WEAK PACIFIC FRONT IS PASSING THROUGH WESTERN
NM NOW AND WILL TREK THROUGH CENTRAL AREAS THIS EVENING BEFORE
DISSIPATING. A BACKDOOR FRONT WILL SURGE WESTWARD OVERNIGHT, WITH
BREEZY NORTH TO EAST WINDS IN ITS WAKE. THIS FRONT WILL LIKELY
SQUEAK THROUGH THE GAPS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN JUST BEFORE
SUNRISE, CREATING A BRIEF PERIOD OF GUSTY EAST (SOUTHEAST) WINDS
AT KABQ (KSAF). WINDS WILL VEER BACK AROUND TO THE SOUTH IN
EASTERN NM TOMORROW AFTERNOON, WITH GUSTY WEST WINDS ONCE AGAIN IN
WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS.
HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE THAT PATCHY MVFR CIGS DEVELOP IN EASTERN NM
OVERNIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE BACKDOOR FRONT.
