AVIATION

12z Discussion...Shallow ground fog is trying to develop at KMLS, but current webcams do not show it overspreading the airport. While the ASOS is reporting visibility as low as 3/4sm, webcams show this is not representative for the majority of the airport complex. Added VCFG to cover the current situation and will continue to monitor. Expect any patchy fog that does develop to dissipate quickly after sunrise.

Outside of the KMLS ground fog, VFR conditions will prevail for the next 24hrs. Will continue to monitor wildfire smoke as some concentration is poised over northern Wyoming and into Idaho and has at least some possibility of impacting southern border zones, though overnight KSHR stayed at 10+sm. Current HRRR solutions keep the higher smoke concentrations that would reduce surface visibility mainly to the south of the area through Tuesday night, though the southern Beartooth/Absaroka mountains could see some low end visibility restrictions, including the Paradise Valley/Gardiner area.
