AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 439 AM MST SAT JAN 3 2026
VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. LIGHT S/SSW WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE AT
DEN AND APA THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY, WITH A LITTLE MORE
VARIABILITY AT BJC. A WEAK CYCLONE IS STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
LATER THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A BRIEF SHIFT TOWARDS THE NORTH OR
NORTHEAST POSSIBLE. DRAINAGE WINDS SHOULD QUICKLY KICK BACK IN
THIS EVENING. THERE IS MORE UNCERTAINTY WITH SUNDAY'S WINDS AS
A FEW CAMS TRY TO MIX GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS INTO THE METRO WHILE
THE REST OF THE DETERMINISTIC/STATISTICAL GUIDANCE FAVORS LIGHT
EASTERLY WINDS DURING THE DAY.
NO CEILING OR VISIBILITY CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED WITH A GRADUAL
INCREASE IN HIGH CLOUD COVER LIKELY THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 447 AM MST SAT JAN 3 2026
POCKETS OF LOW STRATUS AND FOG HAVE DEVELOPED AROUND THE REGION.
THIS HAS LEAD TO SOME IFR CONDITIONS AT A FEW TERMINALS ALREADY. EXPECT
THIS TO BURN OFF AROUND 1000 MST. WINDS REMAIN LIGHT BENEATH
HIGH PRESSURE TODAY. BROKEN MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS WILL
INVADE THIS AFTERNOON, REMAINING IN PLACE THROUGH THE CLOSE OF
THIS TAF PERIOD. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS MORE LOW STRATUS AND FOG
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON SPECIFIC LOCALES
AT THE MOMENT.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/

MOST TAF SITES SHOULD REMAIN LARGELY VFR FOR THE NEXT 18 HOURS
OR SO. FOG HAS NOT FORMED YET AS OF 1030Z BUT STILL EXPECT SOME,
MAINLY IN VICINITY OF KBPI AND KPNA, JUST PUSHED IT BACK TO
AROUND 13Z. NOT AS MUCH CONFIDENCE IN VICINITY OF KJAC SO WE
HAVE OPTED TO GO VICINITY FOG AT THAT SITE FOR NOW. AN
APPROACHING PACIFIC WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO BRING MVFR
CONDITIONS AFTER 07Z TONIGHT THE THE WESTERN TAF SITES,
ESPECIALLY AT KJAC BUT ALSO AT KPNA AND KBPI. WIND WILL INCREASE
THROUGH THE DAY IN VICINITY OF KCPR WITH GUSTS OVER 30 KNOTS
POSSIBLE AFTER 18Z TODAY AND POSSIBLY TO AROUND 40 KNOTS AFTER
06Z SUNDAY.

LOW STRATUS AND PATCHY FOG WILL CONTINUE TO EXIT THE AREA THIS

HWY 281, WHERE MVFR CIGS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
EXPANSION IN STRATUS AND FOG IS POSSIBLE AGAIN TONIGHT, THOUGH
LOW CONFIDENCE IN IMPACTS AT KLBF AND KVTN PRECLUDES INCLUSION
FOR NOW.
WINDS REMAIN LIGHT FROM THE WEST INTO THIS AFTERNOON, AT 5KTS OR
LESS. WINDS THEN BECOME SOUTHERLY TONIGHT, AT 5 TO 10KTS.

THE MCCOOK TERMINAL AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE TAF PERIOD.
CONDITIONS WILL RAPIDLY IMPROVE TO VFR AS DENSE FOG LIFTS AND
DISSIPATES A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNRISE (~14-16Z). THEREAFTER AND
OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL, WITH CEILINGS CONFINED

FOG HAS DEVELOPED WITH DDC AT 1/4 MILE VISIBILITIES AND HAYS DOWN TO
4SM. MORE FOG DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE NORTH AND EAST OF DDC
INCLUDING HYS. NEARLY ALL THE FOG WILL ERODE OR RECEDE BY AROUND 16Z
AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL TAKE OVER FOR ALL SITES THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE UNTIL
AROUND 2Z WHEN IT STRENGTHENS FROM THE SOUTH. NEAR THE END OF THE
PERIOD, SOME LLWS IS POSSIBLE, BUT DUE TO THE MARGINAL AND
RELATIVELY UNCERTAIN NATURE IT WAS EXCLUDED FROM A PREVAILING
GROUP.

AREAS OF IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL CONTINUE FROM
FARMINGTON TO CHAMA THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS, AND PROBABLY INTO
THE AFTERNOON AROUND DULCE AND CHAMA. THERE IS LOWER CONFIDENCE
THAT IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AROUND GALLUP EARLY THIS MORNING,
SINCE THAT FOG BANK IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO APPEAR ON SATELLITE
IMAGERY AS OF THIS WRITING. THE MORENO VALLEY INCLUDING KAXX WILL
BE ANOTHER FAVORABLE LOCATION FOR FREEZING FOG EARLY THIS
MORNING. OTHERWISE, LIGHTER WINDS ARE EXPECTED TODAY WITH
THICKENING HIGH CLOUDS. THE THICK HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO
STREAM OVER THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT, MAKING IT HARDER FOR FOR
LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO RETURN; HOWEVER, THERE WILL STILL BE A
ROUGHLY 20% CHANCE FROM FARMINGTON TO CHAMA.
