Issued at 1137 AM MDT Sat May 4 2024
VFR through the TAF period. Stratus observed this morning has
quickly broken up and should completely clear out before 19z.
Southeasterly winds will persist today with occasional gusts near
20kt. An isolated shower or two can`t be ruled out at BJC but we
should stay dry at DEN/APA. Drainage flow tonight should be a bit
stronger than typical.
Stronger flow is expected tomorrow with wind gusts steadily
increasing through the day. A few wind gusts of 30-35kt will be
possible, especially after 18z tomorrow.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail for KALS and KPUB, and mostly
for KCOS, throughout the forecast period. VCTS will be present until
00Z for KALS. If SHRA/TSRA does develop, it could temporarily reduce
CIGs and VIS to MVFR/IFR criteria. It could also result in periodic
windshifts and increased wind speeds at this terminal. There will be
some VCSH possible between 00Z and 06Z at both KCOS and KPUB. Winds
will be mostly influenced synoptically at all terminals, but diurnal
will take over during the late night/early morning hours as winds
weaken, then they will become influenced towards the end of the
forecast period, with very strong and gusty winds out of the S-SE`ly
for KPUB and KCOS, and SSW`ly at KALS, with gusts approaching 50 kts
possible after 18Z at KALS. -Stewey

VFR conditions will prevail over the next 24 hours with
occasionally breezy conditions this afternoon. Cumulus clouds
are increasing across the southern mountains and will spread
into the central mountains with developing showers and possibly
isolated thunderstorms. VCSH cannot be ruled out at times for
mainly KASE, KGUC and KTEX this afternoon and evening as a
disturbance passes through. Convection comes to an end tonight
with clouds and winds increasing towards daybreak Sunday morning
and ramping up after 15Z into the afternoon.

.AVIATION...KSLC...AVIATION...KSLC..VFR conditions will remain in place through the
valid TAF period. Southerly winds are also forecast to be in
place through the period as well, gradually increasing this
afternoon and remaining southerly and gusty through Saturday
night, with gusts in the 30 to 40kt range possible. There is a
low, or 10 to 15 percent chance for nearby showers late this
afternoon and early evening.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions are expected
across the area through the valid TAF period. Southerly winds
will gradually increase this afternoon and remain southerly and
gusty tonight. There is a low to medium (30-40 percent chance) for
LLWS conditions to develop overhead steeper walled valleys
overnight, as winds at the 2kft AGL level will increase into the
30-45kt range after 06Z tonight. Can`t rule out isolated shower
development over northern Utah terrain late this afternoon and
early evening, otherwise widespread shower development will begin
around the end of the period across northwest Utah. Patchy blowing
dust may limit surface visibility over portions of SW Utah late
this afternoon through tonight.

VFR conditions will prevail through this evening, with clear
ceilings and wind generally remaining on the lighter side.
An incoming system will begin to bring showers to western Wyoming
after 06Z Sunday. Have introduced precipitation impacts to KJAC,
KBPI, and KPNA late in the period as this activity moves east. There
is some indication from hi-res models on showers also moving into
the Bighorn Basin during this time, but low confidence on this
precludes mention at KCOD or KWRL for now. Otherwise, wind will
begin to increase for most terminals late Sunday morning as the
system approaches.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

MVFR ceilings are being observed at KAMA and KDHT, but ceilings
should rise to VFR this afternoon. Showers and an isolated
thunderstorm are possible this evening but confidence is too low
to include in the TAFs at this time. Otherwise... MVFR ceilings are
expected to return tonight with IFR ceilings possible. Highest
confidence in IFR ceilings is at KAMA which has been included in
the TAF, while lower confidence in IFR ceilings at KDHT and KGUY
precludes mention in the TAFs at this time.

Backdoor cold front continues to progress south and west late
this morning. Patchy low clouds with MVFR to IFR condtions will
continue through the afternoon before becoming more widespread
after sunset. Elsewhere this afternoon and evening, widely
scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast over northern,
central, and eastern portions of the forecast area. A few storms
could produce large hail, and damaging winds over southeast areas
this afternoon through evening. Additionally, a few showers or
thunderstorms west of the central mountain chain could produce dry
microbursts with localized and erratic wind gusts up to 45 KT.
Gusty east canyon winds are forecast to strengthen again this
evening and continue through early morning Sunday. The east winds
will allow low clouds with MVFR and IFR conditions to become
widespread east of the central mountain chain this evening, where
showers and some thunderstorms may linger until sunrise. The low
clouds are forecast to push as far west as KSAF Sunday morning
with MVFR cigs possible.
