.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday/...
Issued at 525 AM MDT Sun Aug 24 2025
Several challenges with the TAFs through Monday morning. Weak
Denver Cyclone has set up this morning but wind speeds are
generally less than 7kt. Should see a more pronounced turn to the
north through 15z, followed by a stronger push of N/NE by late
morning or early afternoon. Guidance is split close to 50/50 if
this will be cool/moist enough for stratus development. FG/stratus
is already well established in SE WY/SW NE, but unusually low
confidence in how that evolves over the next several hours.
The morning stratus potential will have implications on
instability and resulting TSRA potential this afternoon. Model
soundings have LCLs in the 020-035 range so we may see some MVFR
cigs with any showers or storms that develop.
Better agreement for this evening and tonight that showers will
linger near the terminals, along with lowering cigs. Again still
quite a bit of uncertainty if we drift into IFR/LIFR cigs or if a
slightly higher (MVFR) deck develops instead. Have opted on the
more aggressive side through the end of the TAF period given a
better model consensus during this period.

Issued at 525 AM MDT Sun Aug 24 2025
Showers have lingered across southeast Utah, and mid level
clouds continue to rotate across the entire region. Some
clearing this morning will give way to widespread showers and
thunderstorms this afternoon. Most terminals have a good chance
of seeing thunderstorms at least in vicinity, if not directly
impacting the terminal locations. KCNY, KTEX, KGUC, and KDRO
have the highest chances of seeing direct impacts from gusty,
erratic winds, lightning, and heavy rain at the airport. After
00z, expect activity to gradually transition to more stratiform
rain showers, with diminishing threats of heavy rain and
lightning. Winds will be light and terrain driven when not
influenced by convection. VFR conditions will prevail, but drops
into MVFR/IFR with heavy rain will be possible.

.AVIATION...Sunday 24/18Z through Monday 25/18Z...Mainly VFR
conditions expected through the period, outside of brief MVFR
conditions in heavier SHRA/TSRA. Expect chances for showers/storms
through 03Z, with -SHRA possibly continuing overnight. Highest
coverage of storms NW of a KPAN-KRQE line. Outside of
gusty/erratic winds with storms, look for west-southwest winds
5-15 mph.
OUTLOOK...Monday 25/18Z through Wednesday 27/18Z...VFR conditions
will continue outside of MVFR ceilings/visibilities in heavier
SHRA/TSRA. Look for daily chances for widespread showers/storms
primarily between 18Z-03Z, with isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms continuing both Monday and Tuesday nights. Gusty/erratic
winds possible near storms, but look for south through west winds
5-15 mph otherwise.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION...KSLC...The terminal will remain on the northern fringe
of an area of moisture spreading into northern Utah this morning. As
such on occasional shower or two is possible through the morning
with VFR conditions prevailing. There is a 10-15 percent chance of a
thunderstorm producing lightning and gusty winds in the vicinity of
the terminal between 16-19Z. Conditions will improve through much of
the afternoon. Southerly winds will prevail this morning, turning to
the northwest by 19Z. However passing showers this morning may
result in variable wind directions at times.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Afternoon showers and
thunderstorms will again develop across much of the region this
afternoon, which may impact area terminals with gusty outflow winds,
lightning, and brief MVFR visibility within heavier rainfall. Away
from these storms, VFR conditions with terrain driven winds can be
expected.

VFR conditions prevail through the period. Increasing moisture from
the southwest brings increasing middle and upper level clouds, as
well as shower and thunderstorm chances. These chances will
primarily be be around KBPI, KPNA, and KRKS today, with lesser
chances elsewhere. Currently, chances look to be best at KRKS, where
a PROB30 group is included. Smoke will also be around again today,
coming from various wildfires around the area.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Showers and thunderstorms bring a deck of stratus across western
and north central Nebraska this morning, bringing low end VFR
conditions across most of the region. Although showers and
thunderstorms move out of the area this morning, the stratus is
expected to remain, dropping conditions across southwest Nebraska
down to MVFR. Across north central Nebraska, once the stratus moves
out, conditions remain VFR. Winds remain light this afternoon,
generally under 10 knots. Additional showers and thunderstorms are
expected this evening across southwest Nebraska, however, confidence
in impacts at KLBF are low at this time, so will omit from TAFs
for now.

Scattered storms continue across the region this morning, with
another cluster potentially impacting KMCK with a brief period
of reduced ceilings and visibility. Storms look to stay east of
KGLD so will not include a mention there. Should see only
isolated afternoon storms with a low probability of impacting
either terminal and VFR conditions. Tonight, storms will
increase in coverage with impacts to both terminals likely
and lowering ceilings overnight.

VFR conditions are expected to be the primary flight conditions for
all sites through the TAF period. Most of the period will see
showers near or at all sites later on Sunday. Current forecast is
some weak showers will descend from the north with some VCTS
currently near HYS. This first round is likely only to affect DDC
and HYS if at all. Later more widespread rain is expected to move
out of Colorado reaching every site by around 5-7Z. Some uncertainty
remains on exactly where, when, and how intense these showers get.
The TAFs try to capture the big picture of the pattern. VFR is
currently forecast for the entirety of the period, but occasional
drops in visibility or ceilings may create periods of lowered flight
conditions especially in the last few hours of the TAF period.

VFR conditions are favored for the first half of this TAF cycle.
Around or after 00z, showers and storms may start to develop or
move in across the northern Panhandles, including KDHT and KGUY.
Have added PROB30s to these sites for the potential for
thunderstorms. Showers may follow the storms for a few hours
through the end of this TAF period. Winds will be mainly out of
the south to southeast around 10-15 kts with occasional higher
gusts over the next 24 hours.

Much of the shower activity has diminished early this morning and
a break in the action is expected through approximately 19Z.
Thereafter, another round of showers and thunderstorms will
develop over the high terrain of mainly northern NM, though a few
storms will occur across the west as well. Storms coverage will
expand across much of northern NM through the evening hours. Brief
heavy rainfall with lowered visibility and gusty outflows near
35kt may accompany any storm. Showers and thunderstorms will
continue through 06Z Mon before diminishing.
