AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
 
 
ISSUED AT 400 PM MDT THU AUG 28 2025  
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES CONTINUE THIS EVENING ACROSS A  
MAJORITY OF THE AREA. CHANCES RANGE FROM ABOUT 20% TO 80%, WITH  
PROB30 AND PREVAILING RAIN SHOWER/STORM GROUPS IN THE TAFS. RAIN  
CHANCES WILL BE ON A DECREASING TREND BETWEEN AFTER 00Z. ANY  
SHOWER OR STORM COULD BRING BRIEF CATEGORY DROPS TO MVFR DUE TO  
HEAVY RAIN AND LOWER CLOUDS/CEILINGS.  
FOG IS AGAIN POSSIBLE AROUND KLND AND KRIW TONIGHT. WE HAVE  
ELECTED TO GO WITH VICINITY FOR NOW AS A LOT DEPENDS ON EXACT  
POSITIONING OF ANY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.  
LARGELY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY. ISOLATED  
CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE AGAIN IN THE NORTHERN TAF SITES (MAINLY  
IN VICINITY OF KWRL AND KCOD) BUT THE CHANCE IS MUCH LESS THAN  
TODAY, MAINLY LESS THAN 1 OUT OF 3 AT ANY SPOT SO WE HAVE  
ELEVATED TO GO WITH PROB30 GROUPS FOR NOW RATHER THAN  
PREVAILING.  
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR  
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

A STRATUS DECK IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE FOR A LARGE PORTION OF  
THE TAF PERIOD, WITH MVFR CURRENTLY OBSERVED AT THE TERMINALS  
AND FURTHER REDUCTIONS EXPECTED. FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE  
OVERNIGHT, WITH THE HIGHER CONFIDENCE AT KMCK. KGLD COULD SEE  
SOME PATCHY FOG, HOWEVER SLIGHTLY HIGHER WIND SPEEDS (BETWEEN  
5-9KTS) MAY HINDER ANY LASTING EFFECTS. CEILINGS AND  
VISIBILITIES WILL CONTINUE TO DROP FURTHER INTO MVFR AND EVEN  
IFR STATUS UNTIL AFTER ~14Z FOR KGLD AND ~19Z FOR KMCK WHEN THEY  
RETURN TO VFR.
