VFR CONDITIONS AND DRY WEATHER ARE EXPECTED THIS FORECAST PERIOD.  
EXPECT GENERALLY LIGHT AND DIURNALLY DRIVEN WINDS ACROSS THE  
TERMINALS, HOWEVER, A WEAK TROUGH WILL MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE  
PLAINS LATER TODAY. THIS SHOULD KEEP A NORTHERLY WIND AT COS, AND  
HAVE TRENDED THE FORECAST THIS WAY FOR COS. CONFIDENCE OF THIS  
TROUGH IMPACTED PUB IS LOWER, AND SO AT THIS TIME, HAVE MAINTAINED  
AN EAST SOUTHEAST DIURNAL COMPONENT BUT WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP A  
CLOSE EYE ON TRENDS FOR THE NEED TO ADJUST TO A NORTHERLY WIND.

KMCK COULD SEE MVFR OR BRIEFLY IFR VISIBILITIES CONDITIONS SOME  
TIME BETWEEN 3-15Z WEDNESDAY. SOMEWHERE, LIKELY EAST OF KMCK, A  
SURFACE WIND CONVERGENCE ZONE WILL SET UP. ALONG AND EAST OF  
THAT AREA WILL LIKELY BE FOG AND/OR STRATUS. OTHER THAN THAT,  
WESTERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL AND A GOOD DAY FOR FLYING IS  
EXPECTED AT BOTH SITES!

AVIATION  
 
(06Z TAFS)  
ISSUED AT 1042 PM MST MON JAN 13 2025  
A VERY TRICKY OVERNIGHT PERIOD IS IN STORE WITH LOW CONFIDENCE ON  
AREAL COVERAGE OF LOW CIGS AND PATCHY FREEZING FOG. CURRENT RADAR  
TRENDS SHOW LIGHT SNOW PERSISTING SOUTH OF KABQ AHEAD OF AN UPPER  
LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS AREA OF SNOW IS  
DRIFTING NORTHWARD AND MAY IMPACT THE SUNPORT THRU 2AM BEFORE  
DISSIPATING. ELSEWHERE, SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A FEW OBSERVATIONS  
ARE INDICATING PATCHY IFR CIGS/VSBYS DEVELOPING WITHIN CENTRAL  
NM. FORECAST GUIDANCE AND SOUNDING PROFILES STRUGGLE TO DEVELOP  
FREEZING FOG GIVEN THE MUCH DRIER LOW LEVEL AIRMASS EXPECTED TO  
ADVECT INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY FOR IFR  
CIGS/VSBYS ARE LESS THAN 10% BUT DO EXIST IN THE AREA FROM NEAR  
KSAF TO KTCC AND KROW. TERMINAL FORECAST AMENDMENTS ARE LIKELY TO  
OCCUR OVERNIGHT GIVEN THE LOW CONFIDENCE. VFR IS STILL EXPECTED AT  
ALL SITES BY MID TO LATE TUESDAY MORNING AS THE TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS  
EAST OF THE REGION.
