.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday/...
Issued at 1218 PM MDT Thu Mar 27 2025
VFR conditions today and Friday. Main concern in the TAF period is
the potential for high based showers this afternoon. Guidance is
good agreement developing weak SHRA by around 21z at the
terminals. With deep inverted-V profiles, any showers would
produce little or no rain but could have a few gusts of 30kt or
so. Potential for a wind shift or two with outflow winds looks to
be close to 50/50 at each of APA/BJC/DEN and have gone with TEMPOs
to cover this potential.
Otherwise, light southwesterly flow is expected through tomorrow
morning, with a gradual turn to a north or northeast component by
tomorrow afternoon. Ceilings this afternoon will be steady at
11-14kft AGL.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1125 AM MDT Thu Mar 27 2025
VFR conditions anticipated much of the forecast area over the
next 24 hrs, including the three main TAF sites of KCOS, KPUB
and KALS. Brief period of gusty W-SW winds roughly between 19z
and 01z for the southern portions of the area, which includes
KALS and KPUB, due to isolated convection likely over the mts.
Isolated cells may encroach on all three TAF sites this
afternoon, but confidence is not high enough to include in
forecast at this time. Will continue to monitor and amend if
needed. Moore

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1123 AM MDT Thu Mar 27 2025
Scattered cloud cover has formed across portions of the CWA and
should persist throughout this afternoon. Isolated showers are
also appearing across the region. Most terminals are not
expected to be impacted, though KTEX has a heightened chance at
seeing some precipitation, thus VCSH has been included in this
TAF through 00Z. Almost all terminals should anticipate strong
gusts upwards of 30 mph picking up over the next few hours, and
LLWS is possible at KEGE and KHDN throughout tonight.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Thick mid-level cloud deck has built into the
region and will remain in place through Friday. Gusty S-SW winds
will continue into the early evening hours. A wind shift to the NW is
expected between 04-06Z, with initial gustiness in the 20-25kt range
for about an hour following the wind shift. VCSH after 05Z as
showers develop over the nearby terrain. This will bring CIGs down
into the 6kft-10kft range overnight into Friday morning.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Gusty S-SW flow will continue
into early evening before a wind shift to the NW builds into the NW
corner of the state between 7PM-8PM, before sliding southward across
the Wasatch Front between 9PM-11PM, with an initial surge of
gustiness for roughly an hour proceeding the frontal boundary. The
front will wash out across central Utah by late evening. Showers are
expected late evening through overnight near the Idaho border and
across the northern mountains, leading to some mountain
obscuration.

VFR conditions prevail through the period for most terminals. Clouds
will continue to increase in coverage through the afternoon and
especially after dark from west to east as a cold front moves
through. With the cold front, expect a 1 to 4 hour period of
rain/snow showers. Most likely chances (60%) for prevailing light
rain or snow is at KJAC. Showers are also possible at KBPI and KPNA
(40% chance) and KCOD and KWRL (25% chance) with the front.
Winds will be southwesterly for most terminals with gusts up to 20
to 25kts for most terminals to start the period. KCPR will see the
strongest winds with gusts around 30kts. With and behind the cold
front, winds will become westerly to northwesterly, but return to
typical nighttime drainage flows 2 to 4 hours after the frontal
passage. Southwest winds will increase again Friday late morning and
early afternoon for many terminals.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

VFR expected to prevail at both KGLD and KMCK through the TAF
period. Isolated high based showers/virga near KGLD this
afternoon will dissipate by sunset, but may cause a brief wind
gust in excess of 30 kts. Late tomorrow afternoon, there will
be a chance for a thunderstorm at KMCK, but confidence is too
low to mention in the TAF at this time.

strong at sustained 15-20 kts and gusts over 30 kts. A weak
frontal boundary may lead to some isolated storms between 22-02Z
around GCK, DDC, and HYS however with probabilities at 10-20%
the chances of a storm affecting the airports is low at this
point.

South and southwest winds will decrease to 10 to 15 knots this
evening and then they will tend to increase a little after
sunrise. Skies are expected to remain VFR. A thunderstorm may try
to make a run at DHT late this afternoon or early this evening,
but confidence is not high enough to mention them at the TAF site.

Convective initiation has begun over the central and southern high
terrain as of 1130 am. High-based showers and storms will continue
to increase this afternoon while moving erratically north and east
into nearby highlands and plains on strong convective outflows. A
Convective SIGMET and Center Weather Advisory have been issued and
their coverage will likely expand today. The main impacts from
this activity will be downburst wind gusts in excess of 40KT with
local blowing dust and brief IFR vsbys possible. Activity farther
south and east into Lincoln and Chaves counties may be wet enough
to produce brief MVFR cigs/vsbys from local heavy rain, but with
IFR possible in blowing dust. Clearing will occur from west to
east thru late this evening as drier air spreads east into NM.
The main exception will be far southeast NM where low cigs will
attempt to slide north again before sunrise. The probability for
MVFR cigs at KROW is currently ~25% from the latest NBM with
higher chances farther to the southeast.
