Most shower activity has tapered off, although patches of low
stratus have developed at higher elevation terminals such as
KGUC and KTEX. Periods of MVFR to IFR ceilings will continue
through the next 3 hours, before finally lifting. Showers and
thunderstorms will develop over the higher terrain this
afternoon, favoring areas along and north of I-70. Gusty outflow
winds, lightning, and brief heavy rain are the main concerns.
Outside of shower activity, westerly winds will be gusting up to
20 knots in the afternoon. Skies will gradually clear through
the day from south to north. VFR conditions will prevail.

.AVIATION...KSLC...East-southeast to southeast winds will continue
at the terminal through 14Z, thereafter becoming southerly and
more gusty. Isolated thunderstorms will develop in the vicinity of
the terminal as early as 19Z and may periodically impact the
terminal through about 02Z. Any thunderstorms will be capable of
wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and hail up to 1 inch. Temporary
periods of IFR conditions near thunderstorms will be possible.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Afternoon convection will
develop and impact terminals across northern Utah, mainly near and
north of a line from KENV to KU14. Strong winds in excess of 58
mph and hail up to 1 inch will be the main threats, along with
lightning and brief heavy rain. Thunderstorms will develop after
18Z and clear Utah by 02Z. Temporary periods of IFR conditions
near thunderstorms will be possible.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 418 AM MDT Fri Jul 4 2025
Showers have primarily ended across the forecast area this
morning. An area of thunderstorms, currently over southeast ID,
will continue to move toward the northeast and could reach KJAC
between 12Z and 16Z.
This activity will be the precursor for the convective activity
expected later today, with multiple rounds of showers and
thunderstorms expected with movement from the west to east.
Thunderstorms will not be constant, hence the PROB30 groups, but
they should be a consideration at all airports between 18Z and
06Z. Lightning, heavy rain, and gusty outflow winds will be the
primary aviation weather threats from these storms. KCPR could
be the last terminal to be impacted, but confidence is too low
to include into the forecast at this time.

Low clouds continue to overspread the area from the south with
MVFR ceilings expected to prevail at both KGLD and KMCK through
about 18z before lifting. This afternoon, scattered
thunderstorms will develop as a disturbance moves in from
Colorado. Brief downpours and gusty winds will accompany any
thunderstorm which moves over a terminal. Storms will become
more scattered tonight, but cannot rule out impacts at either
terminal.

Low MVFR CIGS will gradually improve to VFR by 17-18z at
KDDC/KGCK and KLBL with daytime heating. Scattered thunderstorms
may affect the TAF sites (Prob30) after 19z as an upper level
disturbance approaches and low level moisture increases. Winds
will increase to 14-16 kts today as a surface trough persists
across the high plains.

Low clouds continue to affect all TAF sites tonight. AMA should
predominantly stay IFR until the late morning. DHT may
occasionally reach IFR, but is expected to prevail as MVFR. Low
ceilings still have not reached the GUY terminal; but once they
do, the TAF site should also drop to IFR. By this afternoon, skies
are forecast to clear out at all sites. Thunderstorms have the
best chance to affect GUY this evening, but we cannot rule a storm
or two our for DHT. Confidence simply remains too low to make
mentions in the TAF at this time.
