VFR through the TAF period, with no significant changes from the
previous 06z TAF discussion.
Drainage flow will slowly turn to more of a westerly component
this morning into the early afternoon, with speeds also increasing
this afternoon. General thought is that winds should settle in
some sort of WSW at DEN, then shift a second time later this
afternoon to more of a WNW with some stronger gusts. Still think
there`s potential for a few 25kt gusts during the late afternoon.
A cold front is expected to arrive later this evening with a turn
to a more northerly wind direction, with speeds weakening
overnight. No ceiling/visibility concerns.

A cold front will move through the region today bringing the
chance for showers and a few storms along the CO/WY border and
the Continental Divide. Do not anticipate any showers affecting
TAF sites. VFR conditions will remain in place though some mid
to high level clouds will be present. Of more concern, will be
gusty surface winds of 25 to 35 mph, and occasionally a bit
higher at times starting around 18Z and persisting through 03Z.

.AVIATION...KSLC...In the wake of departing system, terminal will
see continued NW winds through the day Thursday, with some gusts
up to 25 kts or so possible during the afternoon. Expect winds to
gradually relax approaching sunset, with a switch back to lighter
SE winds between ~03-05Z early Friday. Otherwise, expect coverage
of VFR cloud cover to generally decrease through the day.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Most active portion of
system will continue to depart the region. Behind the front, a
continued north to northwest wind direction will generally be
favored at most terminals. Many terminals will also see some
modest gusts, generally in the 20-30 kt range during the day
Thursday. Otherwise, expect generally lessening cloud cover at
northern terminals, with clear to mostly clear skies persisting at
southern terminals.

Issued at 528 AM MDT Thu May 23 2024
The latest storm system has moved over northwestern portions of
WY this morning. Precipitation extends from MT southward into
the Bighorn and Wind River Basins. This rain is largely
inconsequential for KCOD, KWRL, KRIW/KLND with conditions
remaining VFR. This rain will largely end and become more
focused over northwestern portions through 14Z, as the low
continues its eastward trek. Rain and snow will spread southward
through the morning and early afternoon, as the storm makes its
way toward the Black Hills through the day. Snow will remain
likely at KJAC, with KCOD and KWRL are expected to remain as
rain (although a mix of snow is not out of the question).
IFR/MVFR conditions are expected with the heaviest precipitation
between 18Z and 00Z. Mountain obscurations will be common
through 06Z.
Wind gusts of 30 to 40 kt will be widespread today, as the
gradient tightens as a result of the storm. These winds will
increase across the area through 15Z, before decreasing after
00Z. Precipitation will also quickly end across the area, from
west to east, from 00Z to 06Z.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

A trough aloft and its associated cold front will move across
the terminals during the daytime on Thursday.
Scattered to broken clouds from 10000 to 15000 feet will occur.
Winds will gust to 22 knots at Chadron and Alliance until 15Z,
then winds will gust to 42 knots at all terminals after 15Z.

Little change in reasoning as guidance remains consistent in
depicting VFR conditions at TAF sites through at least the
first part of the TAF period, but expect significant impacts to
aircraft operations gusty surface winds, potentially severe
thunderstorms late today/tonight, and low level wind shear for
an hour or two after issuance.
Significant low level wind shear will be present at issuance across
central and western Nebraska but expect it will wane over the
next 1 to 2 hours as the low level jet dissipates. Once diurnal
heating mixes the boundary layer this morning, surface winds
will become gusty with winds to 30kt or so expected into the
afternoon.
Guidance continues to advertise potential for 2 separate
triggers for convection, first with a dryline and then with a
cold front. Any storms with the dryline will have potential to
be discrete, individual cells with very large hail and strong
gusty winds. As the cold front overtakes the dryline and becomes
the dominant driver of convection, storms are expected to
develop into a linear complex that may produce very strong winds
and large hail as it moves from central into eastern Nebraska.
Storm initiation may occur west of Highway 83, though confidence
in exact timing and locations is not high. Will use 2 separate
periods for VCTS at KLBF and KVTN to indicate periods of best
potential for thunderstorms with the dryline followed by
thunderstorms along/ahead of the approaching cold front. All
convection with a return to VFR looks like a good bet by the end
of the valid period as convection pushes off to the east and
southeast. However winds behind the front tonight will become
quite gusty but confidence in amount of mixing is not high. Will
indicate northwesterly gusts near 30kt for KLBF and near 35kt
for KVTN thorugh the latter portion of the valid period with the
understanding that there is potential for gusts to overperform
behind the front.

For KGLD... VFR conditions are forecast through the period. The
main concern will be the potential for thunderstorms. While not
currently in the TAFs, there is a chance (25%) for
thunderstorms around 20-22Z as storms could develop along the
dryline. There is also another smaller chance (10%) this evening
around 02-05Z as the cold front moves through. The cold front
will also cause problems with a abrupt shift in winds to out of
the north/northwest and strengthen them. Winds gusts near the
surface will likely be 40 kts or less, but could reach 50-55kts.
LLWS will also become an issue with wind speed a few hundred
feet above the surface increasing to near 50 kts.
For KMCK... VFR conditions are forecast through the period,
though there will be chances for storms. There will be two
chances for storms around 23Z and 03Z. Currently have left them
off the TAF as confidence isn`t high enough, but chances are
around 20-40%. These storms would also likely be severe with
large hail or very strong wind gusts possible. Otherwise, the
other concern is the passage of the front which is forecast to
bring an abrupt change in winds to out of the north/northwest
and increase their speeds. LLWS is also possible with winds a
few hundred feet above the surface increasing to around 50 kts
or higher.

VFR flying conditions this TAF cycle for all terminals.
Southerly winds will increase into the 16-20 kt range with
gusts of 26-30 kts through the morning, and continue through
sunset. Around then, winds will briefly weaken to aoa 12 kts
before a cold front moves through southwest KS flipping winds
to northerly and increasing into the 15-18 kt range gusting to
25-28 kts.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 520 AM CDT Thu May 23 2024
Some low clouds this morning (leading into this 12Z TAF period)
have brought IFR conditions to KAMA and MVFR conditions to KDTH.
The south winds that have brought in these clouds will soon shift
to the southwest (by 14Z to 15Z) and drier air will be
transported in from the west, forming and pushing a dryline to
the OK state line. This will leave all terminals in VFR conditions
with breezy southwest winds around 15 to 25 kts with gust between
20 and 30 kts.
