.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions will persist for the KSLC terminal
through the period. A cold and dry airmass in place will deliver
only a few mid and high level clouds. Otherwise, winds will be light
and diurnally driven.

.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will persist
for the entire airspace through the period. A cold and dry airmass
in place will deliver only a few mid and high levels clouds across
the northern airspace with clear skies to the south. Otherwise,

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 347 AM MST Sun Jan 19 2025
West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
Skies will remain mainly VFR through much of the day, but mid
to high clouds will be common throughout. A weak system will
bring a brief round of light snow to KJAC and KRKS during the
day, but confidence is still low on persistent impacts lowering
conditions into MVFR range. Have kept PROB30 for KJAC,
adjusting timing, and have added to KRKS during the afternoon. A
second wave of snow will arrive at KRKS around 04Z, as another
arctic front moves through and turn winds to the northeast.
Conditions will drop to MVFR with the snow, with MVFR ceilings
continuing through the rest of the period. Otherwise, cigs will
gradually rise overnight, with some thinning after 00Z.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
High clouds, SCT-BKN FL150-200, have increased from the
northwest over the last couple of hours. These clouds will
continue to increase, becoming OVC and lowering below FL100
through the rest of the morning. Another round of lower clouds
and light snow returns during the day, but chances of
conditions falling to MVFR remain low to moderate during the
afternoon at KCOD. Snow chances at KCPR and KWRL remain lower
during the afternoon, so have not added PROB30 at this time.
However, do expect IFR/MVFR conditions at KLND/KRIW around
23Z/00Z. MVFR ceilings are expected at these two sites through
the rest of the period, once the snow ends. There is the
possibility of sustained winds of 15-20kt developing from KPOY
to KWRL after 00Z, crossing over the Wind River Canyon to KRIW
around 06Z at around 13kt. These winds will add to the threat of
bitter cold temperatures tonight.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 408 AM MST Sun Jan 19 2025
VFR to near-MVFR conditions ongoing at all terminals as of 11Z.
Light winds at KCYS and all Nebraska terminals will continue
throughout much of the 12Z TAF period. Some lower clouds have
developed over KRWL and KLAR early this morning, but should
remain VFR at these terminals. Primary aviation concern
currently is the potential for low-level wind shear at KCYS.
LLWS should come to an end by 15Z. Scattered, light snow showers
are expected this afternoon and evening across the Wyoming
terminals, with lower chances across the Nebraska terminals.
Snow showers may briefly change conditions to MVFR or IFR in the
heaviest showers.

Issued at 505 AM CST Sun Jan 19 2025
For KVTN: A band of MVFR clouds downwind of the Black Hills is
diminishing but is close enough to warrant mentioning some SCT
lower clouds for a few hours after issuance. Otherwise, VFR
conditions are expected to prevail through the valid period.
Winds will generally be light from the northwest at around 10kt
or less for the majority of the period. However winds will be
increasing notably toward the end of the valid period so will
mention some gusts around 25kt for the final 3 hours.
For KLBF: A band of MVFR clouds downwind of the Black Hills is
diminishing but is still expected to create a TEMPO MVFR CIG for
the first few hours after issuance. By mid morning expect VFR
conditions with increasing mid/high clouds toward sunset. There
may be a few flurries and a lower VFR CIG this evening so will
maintain VFR and not include any VCSH that far out. Winds will
generally be light from the northwest at less of less through
the period.

KGLD...VFR conditions will continue through about 07z. A west-
northwest wind up to 10kts at taf issuance will back to the
southwest at speeds under 10kts by 17z, becoming light and
variable from 00z-06z. After 07z, northeast winds up to 11kts
are forecast as another round of arctic air moves in. Cigs will
fall into the MVFR range with some light snow and reduced
visibilities.
KMCK...VFR conditions are forecast to continue through the
period. A light and variable wind at taf issuance will continue
through about 07z, becoming northeasterly at speeds under 10kts
after 08z as another round of arctic air moves in. Presently, no

Wind speeds during the time period should generally be less
than 15 kts. Skies will start out mostly clear but we should see
increasing clouds after 00Z with an approaching storm system.
Cloud ceilings could fall to MVFR flight category around 11Z for
GCK and DDC and we could see light snow develop around GCK
after 09Z.

Issued at 431 AM MST Sun Jan 19 2025
An area of MVFR to IFR cigs persists along the east slopes of the
central mountain chain this morning. A southeast wind is trying to
push this cloud bank as far west as KSAF so a mention of low
clouds was included there. There are still a few flurries out
there in the central and northeast highlands, but these should end
within the next 3 hours. Low clouds will begin to erode after
sunrise, but will likely be slower to diminish than guidance
suggests. After those clear, VFR conditions will prevail through
the TAF period. The next arctic cold front will be on the doorstep
of northeastern NM by the end of the TAF period.
