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.

The VFR conditions and dry weather in place across the terminals
will persist this morning into the middle part of the day. During
this time, will see either light and variable winds or light
diurnally driven winds. Another day of precipitation chances across
the terminals, with shower and thunderstorm development expected
later this afternoon into the early evening. Will see initial
development over the higher terrain move into the mountain valleys
and I-25 corridor this afternoon into the evening. While this is
expected, confidence is low on coverage, with widely scattered
showers and storms expected. Did keep the VCTS for ALS and PUB but
did add some precip for COS, where confidence was higher for the
possibility of showers and storms. Any shower or storm today will
support gusty outflow winds. Outside of these possible stronger
winds, lighter winds will persist for ALS as a steady south southeast
wind sets in for PUB and COS this afternoon.

Fog and low clouds generated by the gypsum plant near KEGE has
brought ceilings and visibility bordering between MVFR and IFR
levels. Expect this will rapidly dissipate once the sun comes
up. Elsewhere and during the remainder of the period, moderately
drier air filters into the region from the west today resulting
in decreased showers and thunderstorms. As a result, VFR
conditions are expected at all TAF sites through the next 24
hours with no ceilings below ILS breakpoints. Expect light and
terrain driven winds, except in the vicinity of showers/storms
where gusts to 45 kts are possible.

.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.

Mostly SKC skies this morning with light winds. Showers and
thunderstorms will begin to develop over the mountains between
17Z and 19Z, becoming widely scattered through the afternoon.
Most of the convective activity will occur along and north of a
KBPI-KCPR line. Confidence is too low to include direct impacts
at any terminal, so have opted for TEMPO/PROB30 groups instead.
This convection will begin to wane by 00Z and ending across the
area by 06Z. Wind gusts up to 30 kt will be the main threat from
the storms.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC
for the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Early morning fog development across portions of the NE
panhandle has resulted in LIFR conditions developing near KSNY
and KAIA with visibility below one-quarter mile. Shallow low
level moisture will allow reduced visibilities to continue
another hour or two, but should begin to clear up by mid-
morning. Showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon,
but there remains uncertainty with timing and location. Most
sites have mention of VCTS for now with KCYS being the terminal
more likely to see TSRA for a period this afternoon. Heavy
rainfall could lead to brief reductions in visibility to MVFR,
possibly IFR conditions.

Pockets of low stratus and fog has developed across portions of
the western Panhandle and Sandhills this morning bringing brief
reductions to visibility and lowered cigs, though remaining out
of vicinity of LBF and VTN. Anticipate this to quickly lift in
the next 1 to 3 hours with a return to VFR conditions across all
of western and north central Nebraska. Mid-level clouds will
increase this afternoon with winds out of the east at 10kts or
less, gradually becoming out of the southeast overnight.

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.

The local terminals will be free of impacts at least though 22
UTC. After that, isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms may
be moving out of northwest KS, with potential for gusty winds.
HREF 4-hr probability of thunder wold strongly suggest little to
no risk for DDC and HYS, with chances for convection impacting
the LBL and GCK terminals between 10 and 20 % - by 02 UTC.

Fair weather and VFR conditions persist across the panhandles
this morning at all terminals. The afternoon to evening hours
rain showers and thunderstorms will redevelop and impact the
panhandles. The most likely areas to be impacted is the western
and northern panhandles with all TAF sites having at least a small
chance of being directly impacted. The odds of rain showers and
thunderstorms on station is highest at KDHT and lower for KAMA and
KGUY. Even if the stations are directly hit conditions should
remain VFR with possible dip down to MVFR. A few strong to severe
storms will be possible with the main threat being strong outflow
winds.

Calm conditions this morning will give way to a significant uptick
in afternoon thunderstorm activity. Storm development is expected
to begin over the western and northern mountains of NM by 12pm to
2pm MDT. Thunderstorms will then spread southeastward over
adjacent highland areas midafternoon, spreading further over lower
elevation areas of central and eastern NM late day and evening.
Localized IFR/MVFR conditions will accompany any storm with
cloud-to-ground lightning, hail and gusty winds. TEMPOs are
included at most terminals to reflect this. Storm activity will
steadily wane through the overnight period into Thursday morning.
