.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday/...
Issued at 534 PM MDT Fri Jul 18 2025
Scattered showers and storms have once again plagued the TAF sites
with VRB winds gusting to around 30 kts. There is some backwash
from the first round of storms, but that is being quickly replaced
by more VRB winds from the southwest or west as the next batch of
scattered showers/isolated storms works east. We think this will
be the last round, so winds are expected to settle down post
showers in the 02Z-03Z time frame. Then fairly normal diurnal
winds expected for the rest of the night through 21Z Saturday.
Another round of scattered showers and storms with VRB wind gusts
to ~35 kts expected 21Z Saturday - 02Z Sunday. Ceilings are high
with only light smoke/haze, and thus VFR conditions will persist
through the period.

Showers and thunderstorms have dissipated for the most part over
the region, though KHDN, KMTJ, and KVEL may see occasional
rainfall over the next couple hours. Cigs may drop below ILS
breakpoints at some higher elevation terminals into the evening
though, particularly at KASE and KEGE. Tomorrow, storms return,
impacting mostly the high terrain. Gusty afternoon winds
upwards of 25 mph are possible across portions of the region,
with stronger gusts expected near thunderstorms.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions will prevail for the KSLC terminal
through the period. There is a 40% chance of showers and
thunderstorms impacting the terminal between 00-04z which could be
capable of producing lightning, brief moderate rain which may reduce
visibilities, and gusty and erratic outflow winds. Outside of
showers and thunderstorms, northwest winds will prevail,
transitioning to southeasterly later this evening.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will prevail
for most of the airspace through the period. scattered convection
will continue through the evening, becoming focused more across
central and portions of northern Utah through the evening. These
showers and thunderstorms will be capable of producing lightning,
moderate to heavy rain briefly reducing VIS, and gusty and erratic
outflow winds.

VFR conditions expected overnight. A few lingering showers should
end around KRKS the first few hours of the period. The main story
for tomorrow (Saturday) will be isolated showers and thunderstorms
in the afternoon. Hi-res models currently have widespread, but low,
shower/storm chances. This far out, it is very difficult to know if
a storm will impact a site, as chances are generally 15% to 30%.
Have included some PROB30 groups to cover these low chances.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Issued at 630 PM CDT Fri Jul 18 2025
Scattered thunderstorm development is possible this evening and
tonight across western and north central Nebraska, with brief
MVFR visibilities and gusty, erratic winds. These storms will
persist into the overnight hours, ending prior to sunrise
Saturday. By early Saturday morning, low stratus will expand
across northern Nebraska, leading to IFR/locally LIFR CIGs.
Patchy fog is also expected, with MVFR/locally IFR visibilities
through late Saturday morning. This stratus will gradually
erode, with a return of VFR into Saturday afternoon.
Winds shift easterly tonight, with at around 10 to 15kts. Winds
then shift southeasterly into Saturday, at around 10 to 15kts.

While the probability of radiation fog continues to be low, a
few models are still holding on to it in the region of KMCK so
have left the Tempo in for the time being. Winds will calm to
less than 8kts tonight and aside from the TEMPO VFR cigs should
continue through the TAF cycle.

VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. Occasional
mid level moisture/clouds in the 5000 to 10000ft AGL level will
cross southwest Kansas over the next 24 hours. This is due to
subtle upper waves rotating around a flattened 500mb high
pressure system extending from North Texas into the Southeast
United States. A nearly stationary surface boundary across
eastern Colorado will maintain southerly winds at 10 to 15 knots
overnight. These winds will shift to more southwesterly during
the day on Saturday.

As of this evening, latest radar was seeing some storms try to
develop to the southeast and northwest of the Panhandles.
However, these storms are also struggling to get anywhere close to
our area, which has been something supported by current CAM
analysis. For now, confidence in impacts to any of the terminals
remains low, so have left all sites at VFR for the present
package.

Showers and thunderstorms are decreasing in coverage and intensity
west of the Central Mountain Chain. However, east of the Central
Mountain Chain, a few strong to severe storms were noted across
northeast NM, while garden-variety storms persisted across the
southeast. Large hail and damaging wind gusts are possible across
northeast NM, though gusty and erratic winds to 40kt can`t be
ruled out across southeast NM as well. Storms will diminish in
coverage and intensity after sunset. Another round of showers and
thunderstorms are expected on Saturday afternoon. Storms will
favor northern and western NM, though a few storms may also
develop over the South Central Mountains. Brief heavy rainfall,
gusty outflows and small hail will be possible with any storm.
