.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday/...
Issued at 428 AM MST Mon Nov 17 2025
VFR through the TAF period. Main concern will be periods of gusty
winds beginning later this morning and continuing through most of
the afternoon. Guidance develops deeper mixing near 18z, with some
gusts of 30-35kt possible. Best chance of seeing >30kt gusts is at
BJC with slightly lower chances for DEN/APA. There are a few hints
from guidance that we`ll see one or two channels of stronger gusts
develop with lighter, potentially easterly winds in between. Did
think about turning the prevailing gusts at DEN into a TEMPO, but
don`t have enough confidence to change it.
We should see a quick decoupling near sunset/00z with wind gusts
quickly diminishing. Drainage flow should redevelop later in the
evening and continue into Tuesday morning.

Intermittent low level wind shear will be possible at KCOS early
before westerly winds spread eastward from the mountains into the
adjacent plains. Gusts to around 30 kts will be possible at all
three terminals in the afternoon before winds diminish this evening
and become dominated by light downslope/downvalley components
towards morning. Conditions will remain VFR with some mid/high
cloudiness this morning at KALS before clearing this afternoon.
High clouds will increase again late tonight into early Tue AM.

A weather system continues to bring mountain snow and valley
rain to the region. Currently MVFR conditions are ongoing at
KTEX, but drops to MVFR or IFR are also possible at KASE, KEGE,
KGUC, and KHDN due to periods of snowfall. Additionally, drops
below ILS breakpoints are anticipated through the afternoon.
Terrain obscuration may occur through the TAF period. After 00Z
the system will move to the east of our area, bringing drier
weather conditions and generally higher ceilings.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions are expected throughout the day at
the SLC terminal, though cigs should remain at or below 6000 feet
AGL through much of the morning. Southerly winds are anticipated
throughout the day with a 20 percent chance of a late wind shift to
the northwest.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Valley rain and mountain snow
focused primarily over northern Utah and southwest Wyoming this
morning is expected to taper off by the early afternoon. VFR
conditions will prevail for much of the airspace, with MVFR/IFR cigs
for northern Utah locations above 7000 feet this morning in snow.
VFR conditions are expected to become widespread by early afternoon.

IFR to MVFR conditions at BPI/PNA/RKS/RIW/LND to start the
period with light rain and/or snow mix at these locations as
depicted on radar. This will trend through the morning hours
through about 16-19Z respectively as the precipitation shifts
eastwardly throughout the day. With it, improving sky conditions
to VFR after the 17-21Z timeframe west to east. Mid level
ceilings persist overnight before starting to scatter out with
high pressure come Tuesday morning into the next TAF cycle.
Otherwise, expect windy conditions for all locations, highest at
CPR up to 25kts and RKS up to 30-35kts. These will diminish
towards sunset becoming less than 10kts after 22-01Z with
radiational cooling through the overnight hours.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

A potent upper level storm system is forecast to move through the
area today and exit to the east by late this evening. Periods of
rain, with snow above 7000 feet, are expected into this evening
across southeast Wyoming and western Nebraska...especially north of
Interstate 80.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR conditions will prevail through this
afternoon with periods of MVFR conditions due to rain or rain/snow
mix. Expect KLAR, KCYS, and KSNY to stay primarily VFR with lower
precip chances compared to the rest of the area. Shower activity
will become more widespread around KRWL this morning with brief IFR
conditions in snow possible. All terminals will see increasing winds
with gusts up to 40 knots possible by this afternoon and this
evening. A few rounds of rain shower expected over the western
Nebraska terminals this morning and then again late this afternoon
through this evening. MVFR CIGS and even some patchy fog are looking
more likely for KCDR and KAIA after 01z Tuesday.

Low stratus is expected to overspread central and northern
Nebraska this afternoon, with widespread MVFR CIGs expected.
Additional low stratus then expands into the Sandhills tonight,
with CIGs lowering to low end MVFR/IFR for terminals north of
I-80. Scattered rain showers are also possible this afternoon
and evening, with brief MVFR visibilities possible.
A frontal boundary stalls near Highway 83 today, with west-
northwest winds (Gusts of 25 to 30 kts possible across far
southwest Nebraska) west of Highway 83 and southeast winds (10
to 15kts) to the east.

VFR conditions are forecast to prevail at both KGLD and KMCK.
Stratus east of KMCK this morning should remain east of the
airport, but any clouds that do manage to float over the airport
will be around 2,000 feet AGL, or lower. Winds will generally
remain weak until the cold front passes later this morning, then
expect gusts to climb to around 20-25 kts before calming near
sunset. There is a low potential for stratus and fog tomorrow
morning, mainly for KMCK, but confidence in it impacting flight
categories is less than 15%.

Breezy conditions are expected this afternoon as models continue
to see the Pacific front push across the Panhandles late this
morning. At KAMA, westerly to southwesterly surface wind gusts can
peak around 35 to 37kt with KDHT and KGUY possibly seeing 25kt
gusts as well. These winds should begin to quiet by sunset, with
the exit of the front. Otherwise, expected VFR conditions to hold
for the package.
