.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday/...
Issued at 458 AM MDT Wed Jul 17 2024
Main concern will be thunderstorms this afternoon and early
evening, but also a rare isolated morning shower/storm possible
(10-15% chance). Outside of the isolated morning convection,
guidance suggests another active afternoon of scattered showers
and storms. We expect high enough coverage to support TEMPO VRB
winds gusting to 35-40 kts and -TSRA in the forecast...starting
at KBJC and KAPA by/shortly before 20Z, and 21Z at KDEN. Most
storms should be out of the area again before 00Z, with only a
small chance thereafter. Outside of the storms, fairly normal
diurnal wind patterns and VFR conditions will prevail.

Weak west to northwest flow remains in place across the region,
with afternoon showers and thunderstorms already developing
over the higher terrain. Currently expecting storms to move
across all the terminals through the late afternoon and early
evening (22Z-02Z), bringing gusty outflow winds up to 50 mph,
and brief heavy rainfall. Clouds are slow to clear through the
overnight night hours, with VFR conditions expected to prevail
through the rest of the taf period.

Slightly drier conditions suggest a downturn in convective
coverage today and early radar and satellite trend concur.
Storms developing over ridges in the next few hours will take a
slow drift southward...some surviving into the adjacent valleys.
Confidence overall is low due to the lesser storm coverage but
forecast for now favors KTEX KDRO and KASE for a passing storm
with VCTS used elsewhere. Gusty winds continue to be the main
threat from the storms today and could exceed 40 mph under the
right conditions. Clearing tonight and VFR holds over the next
24 hours.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Southeasterly winds will transition to
northwesterly around 18-19z. VFR conditions will prevail, though
somewhat hazy skies will continue due to wildfire smoke.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Scattered showers and
thunderstorms will again develop after 18z mainly across western
UT (including KENV) and southern UT (mostly south of KDTA-KPUC).
These storms will be capable of producing gusty and erratic
outflow winds. Otherwise, winds will be largely diurnally-driven.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1111 AM MDT Wed Jul 17 2024
Isolated showers and thunderstorms develop this afternoon. Due to
the isolated nature, have either TEMPO or VCTS at sites. Overall,
all locations have a 15% to 40% chance of a shower/thunderstorm
today. Confidence is to low to include at KBPI or KPNA. KRKS has the
least likely chance (less than 10%). The main threat from any
convection is gusty outflow winds. The strongest storms could
produce gusts over 40 knots, but most likely wind gusts would be up
to 30 knots. Convection decreases this evening, leaving a mainly
clear sky and lighter winds overnight.
Some smoke still lingers across portions of the area, notably near
KCOD. Some mountain obscuration is expected through the TAF period.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence forecasts.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1108 AM MDT Wed Jul 17 2024
Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are possible at all sites today.
Given the isolated nature of the convection, difficult to determine
exact locations that will be impacted, so VCTS and TEMPO groups are
in most TAFs, with a higher confidence prevailing group at KCYS.
Gusty outflow winds and brief MVFR conditions are the main hazards.
Convection decreases this evening, with lighter winds overnight. Low
clouds, and potential fog, is possible to form at KAIA and KSNY
overnight and into Thursday morning. Confidence is not high at this
time, with SCT MVFR clouds indicated in TAFs.

VFR conditions will continue through much of the region through
Thursday morning. Some isolated showers and thunderstorms are
possible across southwest Nebraska and the Panhandle this evening
but current thinking is that storms should remain west of both
terminals so storms are not in the prevailing forecast at this
time. Winds remain under 10 knots through Thursday morning
creating limited aviation concerns.

VFR expected to prevail at both KGLD and KMCK through the TAF
period. Scattered thunderstorms will develop this afternoon and
continue through the evening. However, confidence in directly
impacting either terminal is low. Brief gusty winds may occur
near any thunderstorm.

In general we will have VFR flight category for all terminals
during the time period with winds 12-15 kts during the day and
under 12 during the night time hours. Thunderstorms are forecast
to develop in eastern Colorado this afternoon and head towards
western Kansas after 00Z. Storms should stay generally west of
LBL and GCK however there will be 10-20% prob thunder for LBL
and GCK between 00-08Z.

VFR conditions are forecast through this forecast period along
with winds around 10 kts or less. There is a 20-30% chance for
showers or thunderstorms at KDHT but confidence is too low to
include in the TAF at this point.

Scattered convection will develop over the high terrain around
18Z, becoming widespread to numerous around 21Z, particularly
along and east of the central mtn chain. Gusty outflow winds up
40KT will accompany many storms, with a few stronger cells
producing gusts to 55KT. Small hail and torrential rainfall rates
may help to create brief MVFR to IFR conditions at several sites,
with the highest confidence for those along and east of the
central mtn chain. Storm coverage will remain widespread to
numerous through 06Z, eventually becoming limited to areas south
of I-40 between 06Z and 12Z.
Gusty east winds are expected this afternoon and evening at KABQ
as outflow boundaries from storms in eastern NM surge through the
gaps of the central mtn chain. Winds are likely to exceed 35KT
between 00Z and 06Z, but should be associated with convection so
an AWW will likely not be issued unless the vicinity is drier than
expected.
