Quiet conditions at terminals will resume today as a weak ridge
of high pressure moves overhead. Winds will remain light.
Clouds will increase from the north later tonight as the next
winter disturbance approaches. Went ahead and placed VCSH in a
few terminals for tonight. Snow showers could cause MVFR
conditions at several sites and perhaps IFR at a few. Models
show the showers dissipating late in the period, but expect
cloud cover to hang around.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Little to no concerns to aviation operations are
forecast for the KSLC terminal today. Winds are expected to be
generally light through the day, with variable winds becoming
predominantly south by 12-13Z, then becoming northerly around 19-
20Z. There is about a 25% chance that winds don`t shift until 21-
22Z.
.Rest of Utah and Southwest Wyoming...VFR conditions are expected
across a majority of the area today under increasing high level
cloud cover through the first half of the day. Strong northerly
winds across southwest Utah are expected to weaken this afternoon,
however, the KSGU terminal may continue to gust upwards of 25-30kts
through this evening. Otherwise, winds will be generally light with
the exception of southwest Wyoming (gusts to 15-20kts possible).

Weak high pressure overnight is giving way to a quick moving
weather system today approaching the forecast area from the
northwest. Some low clouds and fog are slow to burn off in the
Wind River Basin, and may keep KRIW in VLIFR until heating and
wind dissipate the fog before 08/20Z. Otherwise, VFR conditions
are expected this afternoon, transitioning to MVFR this evening
from north to south as snow showers move from NNW to SSE,
especially for sites east of the divide. These sites should see
a few hours of MVFR/marginal IFR with the snow before improving
before sunrise. TAF sites west of the divide could see a stray
snow shower during the late evening hours, but chances are
better east of the divide. Lingering showers are likely through
mid-morning Thursday as well. Winds are quite breezy and gusty
at KCPR this afternoon from the southwest, then decrease after
sunset before snow showers move in during the evening. At this
time, not expecting any areas of fog early Thursday morning due
to the cloud cover an slightly increased north winds.
As mentioned, a few snow showers will linger Thursday morning,
but skies should clear from NW to SE through the day. NW-N-NE winds
will increase around mid-day, but decrease by sunset. High
clouds will return to NW WY Thursday night, with snow showers
returning to the western mountains late Friday afternoon in
advance of the next storm system.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Shortwave is moving through the area tonight into tomorrow
morning. Looking at the High-res ensembles there is some
uncertainty as to the timing of precipitation since there is a
little dry air to overcome first and each models some timing and
intensity differences. Overnight the ceiling will drop into the
MVFR category general around 2000ft after 06z. There may some
occasional lower level ceiling as snow falls tonight but the
prevailing ceilings look to be MVFR.

A winter system will move into western Nebraska later tonight
with an accompanying cold front. VFR conditions are expected to
prevail until 10Z at KVTN, when an MVFR ceiling moves in. Light
snow is forecast at KVTN by 12Z, with IFR ceilings by 15Z with
1 1/2SM -SN OVC008. At KLBF, VFR conditions are expected to
prevail until 13Z, when an MVFR ceiling moves in. Light snow is
forecast by 16Z, with 5SM -SN OVC015.
Winds become quite gusty after 12Z, near 32020G35KT by 15Z at
KLBF and KVTN. This will create patchy to areas of blowing snow
late in the TAF period.

KGLD...VFR conditions are forecast from taf issuance through
11z. West winds around 10kts at taf issuance will back to the
southwest, occasionally gusting to 20kts or so from 20z-22z.
Tonight, west winds around 10kts veer to the northwest, gusting
up to 25kts toward 11z. From 12z-18z, sub VFR conditions are
forecast as a weather system brings increasing chances for snow
and blowing snow due to northerly winds gusting to around 30kts.
KMCK...VFR conditions are forecast from taf issuance through
11z. A west-southwest wind around 10kts at taf issuance will
back to the southwest at similar speeds around 23z, continuing
through 05z. From 06z-11z, winds veer to the northwest up to
10kts. After 12z, a weather system brings sub VFR conditions
due to stratus along with a chance for light snow and blowing
snow with northerly winds gusting to around 30kts.

VFR flying conditions and light/variable winds are expected
across all terminals for much of this TAF cycle. Late in the
period, a cold front will dive south through southwest KS,
resulting in winds increasing out of the north into the 13-17 kt
range. MVFR/IFR cigs may accompany this wind shift, but current
thinking is any flight category reduction will occur just beyond
this TAF period.

MVFR conditions should continue at DHT for the next couple of
hours. Then cloud coverage should clear out and the TAF will
return to VFR through the rest of the day. Tomorrow, wind speeds
will ramp up at the surface as a cold front moves across the
region. Bands of snowfall have a chance to set up over AMA
tomorrow morning near the 12Z timeframe. MVFR to IFR conditions
may manifest earlier at the Amarillo terminal if snowfall rates
increase high enough to reduce visibility. Otherwise, MVFR
ceilings will approach all sites by tomorrow afternoon.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1023 AM MST Wed Jan 8 2025
Upper low has shifted southward over the northern Baja Peninsula
allowing winter weather over NM to shift to the southern third to
half of the state this hour. LIFR/IFR ceilings and visibilities
are slowly improving in areas along and east of the central
mountain chain. Although, they look to hold onto KTCC for another
hour or so. KROW is already above MVFR ceilings, but overcast
skies will last longer there into the afternoon period. VFR
prevails through the northwestern quadrant of the state including
KABQ to KGUP to KFMN. A second winter system dives southward from
CO as the first system tracks northeastward over northern Mexico.
Both meet over south-central NM during the day Thursday. This
will bring a northerly wind shift through eastern NM Thursday
morning, and increasing snow showers favoring the highlands. Peak
snow shower activity will occur where these two systems meet
through south-central and southeastern NM Thursday, bringing
reduction in categories from low ceilings, visibility and mountain
obscurations from KONM to KSRR to KROW eastward into TX. East
canyon winds pushing through the gaps of the central mountain
chain are expected to begin near or just after 18Z Thursday, so
look for this inclusion at KABQ with the 00Z TAF package.
