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.

WINDS WITH GUSTS OF 20-25 KNOTS AS SOME MIXING IS FORECAST TO
OCCUR. IF THE WINDS DO NOT MIX DOWN THEN LLWS WILL BE A CONCERN.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 442 AM MST SAT JAN 3 2026
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.
