DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0538 UTC WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2025
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1130 PM MDT TUE SEP 16 2025
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED EAST OF DENVER AREA
TERMINALS AT THIS TIME, AND NO ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN RELATES TO
PROGRESSION OF STRATUS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. THERE IS LIKELY
TO BE OSCILLATION BETWEEN SCT AND BKN MID-LEVEL CLOUD BASES,
030-050 OVER THE NEXT 3-5 HOURS. NEARING SUNRISE, POTENTIAL FOR
MORE PERSISTENT CIGS CLOSER TO 025-030 WILL INCREASE, MAINLY
10-15Z. LOWER CIGS DOWN TO 015 CAN'T BE RULED OUT, BUT CONFIDENCE
IN THIS SCENARIO IS LOW. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT THROUGH THIS PERIOD,
BUT SHOULD GENERALLY FAVOR A MORE NW DIRECTION. A MORE
PERSISTENT/ROBUST NW FLOW WOULD HELP PROMOTE THE LOWER CIG
POSSIBILITY.
FOR WEDNESDAY, THERE'S MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE
PREVALENCE OF NE WINDS 07-12 KTS FROM MID-MORNING THROUGH AT LEAST
MID-AFTERNOON. MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ARRIVE LATE AND PROVIDE
~30% CHANCE OF -SHRA (LESSER INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO LOWER TSRA
POTENTIAL VERSUS TUESDAY) BEGINNING NEAR 23Z. CIGS 040-060 ARE
FAVORED TO PERSIST WELL INTO THE EVENING AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES
THROUGH.

AVIATION...KSLC
QUIETER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO SETTLE IN AS
SYSTEM DEPARTS. PRECIPITATION CHANCES REMAIN LOW THROUGH WED, AND
SKIES REMAIN CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR WITH SOME VERY LIMITED CUMULUS
DEVELOPMENT WED AFTERNOON. WINDS REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT AND ARE
EXPECTED TO FOLLOW A TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTION PATTERN (BECOMING
SOUTH BETWEEN 02-04Z WED, NW BETWEEN 16-18Z WED).
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SLOW MOVING SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO DEPART THE REGION TO THE EAST. NE UT AND SW WY WILL SEE
JUST ENOUGH LINGERING MOISTURE/INFLUENCE TO RESULT IN MODEST CHANCES
(~10-30%) OF CONVECTION WED AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE, DRIER AND QUIETER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT MOST AREA TERMINALS WITH CLEAR TO MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES AND FAIRLY LIGHT WIND MAGNITUDES.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0431 UTC WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2025
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1030 PM MDT TUE SEP 16 2025
VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL BUT CPR FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE PERIOD.
LINGERING SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS EAST THAT HAS BROUGHT UPSLOPE
FLOW TO MVFR CONDITIONS. A MORE STEADY RAINFALL 10-15Z THAT
COULD SEE EVEN IFR CONDITIONS AS A PROB30 GROUP. CPR WILL SEE
THE ON AND OFF CHANCES FOR RAIN SHOWERS ALL DAY WEDNESDAY
THROUGH ABOUT 01Z BEFORE FINALLY PUSHING EAST WITH LINGERING
OVERCAST SKIES HOVERING ABOVE THE VFR MARK AROUND 5KFT.
OTHERWISE, WEST OF THE DIVIDE WILL REMAIN DRY AS THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW PIVOTS EAST KEEPING ANY ACTIVITY TO THE EAST OF EVEN COD.
RIW/LND SHOULD SEE THE ACTIVITY BETWEEN THE 19-00Z TIMEFRAME
AND WRL AROUND 17-21Z AS RAIN SHOWERS PUSH SOUTHEAST FROM THERE
FIRST BEFORE ENDING AT CPR AROUND 01Z. LIGHT WINDS NO MORE THAN
10KTS WITH SCATTERED MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS WEST OF THE
DIVIDE, AND MID LEVEL CEILINGS STARTING TO LIFT AFTER THE 00-01Z
TIMEFRAME INTO THE UPPER LEVELS. THIS SHOULD CLEAR OUT BY
THURSDAY MORNING REFLECTED IN THE NEXT TAF CYCLE.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2353 UTC TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 541 PM MDT TUE SEP 16 2025
THE COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO CAUSE AVIATION
DIFFICULTIES AS IT INCHES ITS WAY ACROSS THE AREA. THE FIRST
ROUND HAS MOSTLY DEPARTED, BUT SOME BACK-BUILDING NEAR KAIA OR
KSNY IS POSSIBLE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE SECOND ROUND IS
SEEING LIGHTNING INTENSITY DECREASE, BUT WY TERMINALS WILL
CONTINUE A RISK FOR LIGHTNING, IFR VIS IN MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL, AND GUSTY WINDS THROUGH ABOUT 03 TO 05Z. CONFIDENCE IS
LOWER IN THIS REACHING NEBRASKA TERMINALS, BUT IMPACTS CANNOT BE
RULED OUT. A PROB30 GROUP WAS MAINTAINED FOR KSNY, WHICH HAS THE
BEST CHANCE TO SEE STORMS THIS EVENING.
IN THE LATE EVENING HOURS TOWARDS WEDNESDAY MORNING, THE STRONG
STORM SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO RE-ORGANIZE TO OUR EAST. THE SPOTTY
DISORGANIZED SHOWERS OVERNIGHT WILL LIKELY CONSOLIDATE TO AN
AREA OF STRATIFORM RAINFALL IMPACTING KBFF, KAIA, AND KCDR
AROUND 09Z TO 11Z, WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND SOME ISOLATED
THUNDER NEAR OTHER TERMINALS. MOIST NORTHERLY FLOW WILL ALSO
LEAD TO LOWER CIGS AT MOST TERMINALS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR IFR IS
AT KSNY, BUT CAN'T BE RULED OUT AT ANY TERMINAL. ON AND OFF
RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO MVFR VIS (AND POSSIBLY BRIEF IFR) FOR MUCH
OF THE DAY WEDNESDAY, MAINLY IN THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN NE
PANHANDLE.

NORTH PLATTE AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1223 AM CDT WED SEP 17 2025
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA, WITH RAINFALL RATES CAUSING LIMITED VISIBILITY
CONCERNS. A BRIEF WINDOW OF VFR CONDITIONS ARE OBSERVED EARLY THIS
MORNING, WITH CONDITIONS DROPPING TO MVFR AND IFR IN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. THESE CONDITIONS WILL LARGELY BE DRIVEN BY LOWERING CEILINGS,
AS AMPLE MOISTURE REMAINS ACROSS THE REGION. WITH LIGHT WINDS
OVERNIGHT AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE, PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE
REGION, ADDING SOME VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS TO THE LOWERED CEILINGS.
STRATUS IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE MORNING KEEPING
CONDITIONS FROM MVFR TO IFR. BY EARLY AFTERNOON, SOME IMPROVEMENT IS
EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA, BRINGING A RETURN TO VFR
CONDITIONS SLOWLY THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND MAY BRIEFLY IMPACT EITHER KGLD
OR KMCK. LOW CEILINGS WILL ALSO DEVELOP WITH IFR LIKELY BY
SUNRISE AND THEN SLOWLY BURNING OFF WEDNESDAY MORNING. SOME FOG

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1225 AM CDT WED SEP 17 2025
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WAS OCCURRING ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS AS
OF 05Z WEDNESDAY. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD EAST AND
WEAKEN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. PRIMARY HAZARDS OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS WILL BE REDUCED VISIBILITIES FROM HEAVY RAIN AND
GUSTY WINDS. THESE STORMS AND POSSIBLE HAZARDS WILL IMPACT THE
GARDEN CITY AND LIBERAL BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z, THEN HAYS AND DODGE
CITY BETWEEN 07Z AND 11Z. CEILINGS BEHIND THESE STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 4000-9000 FT AGL.
SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE STORMS WILL SHIFT TO WEST NORTHWEST
AND REMAIN GUSTY FOR SEVERAL HOURS. BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z
WEDNESDAY, WINDS WILL RETURN TO A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION AND
DECREASE TO 10-15 KNOTS. BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP
FOLLOWING THIS CONVECTION EARLY IN THE DAY AND WE WILL BE
MONITORING THE CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING REDEVELOPING,
ESPECIALLY IN THE DODGE CITY AND LIBERAL AREAS.

MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS. BUT WE WILL HAVE SOME THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TOWARD THE
TAIL END OF THE TAF PERIOD THAT COULD BE MVFR/IFR DUE TO
THUNDERSTORMS, IN WHICH PROB30S HAVE BEEN NOTED. WINDS GENERALLY
WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FOR THE MOST PART AND BE IN
THE 10 TO 15KT RANGE, CURRENTLY GUSTING TO 25KTS THROUGH ABOUT
3-4Z, THEN CALMING DOWN THEREAFTER. WHILE THERE ARE SOME STORMS
LINGERING AROUND THE PANHANDLES THIS EVENING, TIMING AND ACTUAL
IMPACT TO A TAF SITE IS IN QUESTION, AND WE'LL DEAL WITH THEM VIA
AMENDMENTS AS CONFIDENCE INCREASES.

THE GREATEST COVERAGE OF SHRA/TS WILL FOCUS AROUND CENTRAL NM
BETWEEN KABQ, KSAF, AND KLVS THRU SUNSET. STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS,
BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL, VERY SMALL HAIL, AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING
STRIKES. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE MOVING EAST/SOUTHEAST AROUND 10KT.
MID LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL LINGER OVER MUCH OF THE AREA TONIGHT
WITH A VERY SMALL CHANCE FOR PATCHY MVFR CIGS ACROSS EASTERN NM.
THE NEXT CROP OF SHRA/TS WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND EAST OF THE
CENTRAL MT CHAIN AFTER 12PM WEDNESDAY. A FEW OF THESE STORMS
OVER NORTHEAST AND EAST-CENTRAL NM MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE.
