.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday/...
Issued at 1130 AM MDT Tue Jul 8 2025
All terminals will see VFR conditions through the TAF period. Winds
are currently light and quite variable. A transition to light NE
flow is favored for KDEN slightly after 19Z, although wind
directions throughout the afternoon for all Denver area terminals
are likely to be driven by development of weak, high- based
convective showers. These will be generally isolated for the
Denver area and will carry limited potential for lightning or even
SHRA, but similar to yesterday, will be capable of localized
robust outflow gusts near 40 kts. Coverage of such gusts should be
limited, with most areas likely seeing lesser wind gusts. Showers
will move east of the Denver metro by late afternoon, with
Southeast drainage flow 10-15 kts in the evening giving way to
lighter southerly flow overnight. Expect dry conditions Wednesday
with light winds.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1140 AM MDT Tue Jul 8 2025
VFR conditions anticipated across the forecast area over the next 24
hours, including the three main TAF sites of KCOS, KPUB and KALS.
Isolated convection over the higher terrain this afternoon may have
a tough time continuing once it moves off the mts, but decided to
include PROB30 wording for KCOS from 21z-01z for -TSRA and more
importantly variable gust potential to 30 kts. There is an outside
chance for some convection to near KPUB but confidence was too low
to include in the terminal forecast. Clearing skies overnight with
less convective activity and more diurnal trends tomorrow. Moore

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion
Issued at 2028 UTC Tuesday, July 8, 2025
.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions prevail into Wednesday with wind
directions following a typical diurnal pattern. By mid morning
Wednesday, southerly winds increase with some gusts around 20-25 kts
mixing in. Winds shift more southwesterly by early afternoon, and
favor a westerly component through the day. Isolated high based
convection will also develop through the afternoon, especially after
21Z. Gusty erratic outflow winds may arise from anything near the
terminal.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Fairly quiet conditions once
again Tuesday into the start of Wednesday at area terminals, with
conditions remaining VFR. Winds once again follow a fairly typical
diurnal pattern Tuesday, with a west to southwesterly component more
favored Wednesday. Winds and gusts will also increase some during
the day Wednesday as a system approaches. Moisture associated with
the approaching system will help trigger some isolated high based
convection Wednesday, primarily along/east of Utah`s high terrain
during the afternoon. This activity will have potential to result in
gusty erratic outflow wind gusts with anything near area terminals.

VFR conditions will prevail through the next 24 hours. Any lingering
shower or virga shower activity with outflow wind impacts should
quickly taper off at the start of the period. SKC and light winds
(less than 10kts) will then prevail through the rest of the TAF
period for all terminals. Wednesday afternoon, a few showers may be
possible, but should be mostly virga with gusty outflows being the
main concern.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

A ridge looks to start building across the Intermountain West.
Winds will be relatively light and switch to a more southerly
direction tomorrow. Looking at model soundings they all show a
pretty stout dry layer at the surface. SO TS was kept from
previous Prob30 as virga seems to be the most likely scenario.
Most of the model guidance has the thunderstorms in the southern
portion of the Panhandle and KAIA as well. However, there is
still a slight chance KCYS and KBFF may have a shower produce
near them.

VFR conditions prevail at all area airports and will prevail at
MCK throughout the forecast period. Conditions at GLD will drop
to MVFR late this evening after 9pm MT as a cluster of storms
is expected to move through the area. Additionally, wind shear
will be 40-50kts at both GLD and MCK late tonight for a few
hours as this system moves through the area. VFR conditions will
return at GLD by midnight and persist through the end of the
forecast period. Wind shifts greater than 30 degrees will also
be likely throughout the forecast period at both area airports.

Light southeasterly winds will continue today, generally in the
8 to 12 knot range. No major changes from the initial conditions
are forecast, however we have introduced PROB30 for
thunderstorms for a 4-hour period late tonight at GCK and DDC as
the latest 12z HREF model and some of the latest runs of the
HRRR are bringing at least a small thunderstorm cluster south
east into southwest Kansas.

VFR conditions expected throughout most of the 18Z TAF period at
all TAF sites. The only exception could be a brief window around
23Z through around 05Z where a shower or TSRA is possible at TAF
sites. Confidence is too low to include in TAF at this time, where
AMD may be needed, if TSRA conditions occur. General winds will
range from SE to SW at 5-15 kts.

Afternoon showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop along
the central mountain chain of New Mexico and also over the
southwestern peaks with activity gradually moving southward and
expanding to some lower elevations east of these areas. Brief
reductions in ceiling and visibility will occur with any
downpours, and gusty downburst winds with small hail will also
accompany storms. Storms will have shifted to the southeastern
quadrant of New Mexico by this evening with most of the activity
coming to an end before midnight. Fewer storms are forecast for
Wednesday, but similar initiation areas (central mountain chain
and southwestern peaks) are forecast again in the early afternoon.
Hot temperatures in the 90`s today and Wednesday will create high
density altitude readings that will produce poor aircraft
performance for some.
