.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1136 AM MDT Thu May 23 2024
Today`s cold front is nosing into the northwest corner of the
forecast area. High clouds ahead of the boundary are quickly
filling in ahead, covering areas generally north of the I-70
corridor. Expect gusty southwest winds along and ahead of said
front, with max gusts exceeding 30 kts over most TAF sites
this afternoon. Precipitation looks weak with this one, so most
TAF sites can expect gusty outflow winds from decaying storms
near by and/or virga overhead rather than lowered CIGS/VIS.
Chance for thunderstorms favors the high country along and,
generally, north of CNY- MTJ- and GUC through late evening
hours. However, storms are expected to weaken by sunset and the
frontal boundary will quickly drift east of the Divide
overnight. Mostly clear skies and VFR conditions are forecast
for Friday.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1136 AM MDT Thu May 23 2024
Today`s cold front is nosing into the northwest corner of the
forecast area. High clouds ahead of the boundary are quickly
filling in ahead, covering areas generally north of the I-70
corridor. Expect gusty southwest winds along and ahead of said
front, with max gusts exceeding 30 kts over most TAF sites
this afternoon. Precipitation looks weak with this one, so most
TAF sites can expect gusty outflow winds from decaying storms
near by and/or virga overhead rather than lowered CIGS/VIS.
Chance for thunderstorms favors the high country along and,
generally, north of CNY- MTJ- and GUC through late evening
hours. However, storms are expected to weaken by sunset and the
frontal boundary will quickly drift east of the Divide
overnight. Mostly clear skies and VFR conditions are forecast
for Friday.

.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.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1145 AM MDT Thu May 23 2024
The last wave of the upper low pressure system will push through
today. Showers will mostly be confined to the north (KJAC, KCOD,
KWRL terminals), though there is a chance (20%) that KPNA, KRIW, and
KCPR terminals could see some brief rain showers this afternoon and
evening with best chances (50%) at KRIW. MVFR conditions are
expected with the showers at the aforementioned terminals. KJAC will
see IFR conditions with snow showers through the first few hours of
the period, with conditions improving to MVFR and prevailing as such
through the rest of the afternoon. All terminals should see
prevailing VFR conditions and cloud cover beginning to scatter out
by 06Z tonight.
Winds will be gusty through much of the afternoon at most terminals
this afternoon. A northerly push will continue to move through the
Bighorn Basin and impact KRIW and eventually KCPR terminals around
00Z-02Z. This northerly push will be associated with a cold front
and accompanying rain showers. Winds will decrease overnight (by
06Z) and increases in winds Friday morning will be limited to the
favored locations (KPNA and KCPR).
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Intermittent MVFR/IFR conditions may impact the KRWL and KLAR
terminals as an area of light snow showers moves across the
area associated the frontal boundary. Areas ahead of this
frontal boundary will see mainly VFR conditions, but post FROPA
winds will become gusty and bring wind gusts between 40-45 knots to
all terminals by the late afternoon through the overnight
hours.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail across all of western and
north central Nebraska through Friday. The exception would be
late this afternoon and evening when a line of thunderstorms
will develop and move southeast across the area. Brief MVFR/IFR
will accompany the line. Strong winds will be likely with the
storms as well. Otherwise gusty south winds expected this
afternoon with winds switching to the northwest tonight and
remaining gusty into Friday morning.

Moisture return has been a bit stronger than anticipated which
is leading to MVFR ceilings at KMCK currently which is currently
forecasted to last for the next few hours. KGLD is forecast to
remain at VFR conditions as a dry line is approaching from the
west. Will continue to focus on thunderstorm potential this
afternoon with the main focus being along the dryline which is
anticipated to lie to the east of the KGLD terminal. KMCK has
the relative better potential for storms, perhaps severe. A
concern I do have with any storms that do form will be the
duration of them as the better forcing remains to the west and
north; this is reasoning for introducing a tempo group instead
of a FM group. A cold front moves through late this evening with
a sudden shift to the NW with winds; strong winds are forecast
in the 40-45 knots range; although a rogues 50+ knot gust cant
be completely ruled out. LLWS will be present as well with a
strong LLJ followed by the cold front.

A slow to erode axis of low level stratus drifting slowly eastward
through southwest Kansas will result in MVFR cigs with isolated IFR
cigs primarily in vicinity of KDDC, and later possibly KHYS, through
mid/late afternoon with widespread VFR conditions farther west.
Isolated thunderstorms may be possible along and ahead of a dryline
advancing through southwest Kansas later this afternoon, potentially
affecting areas mainly east of KDDC. Additionally, a second round
of thunderstorms are expected to develop along and ahead of a cold
front pushing southeast across central Kansas tonight, potentially
affecting the vicinity of KHYS generally after 05-07Z. Otherwise,
expect widespread VFR conditions to continue through early Friday.
Southerly winds 15 to 30kt through early/mid-evening due to a
strengthening lee side trough of low pressure in eastern Colorado,
are expected to turn northerly around 25 to 35kt with gusts up to
45kt initially behind a cold front pushing southeast through western
Kansas generally after 04-06Z, then gradually subsiding through late
Friday morning as the front dives farther south through the Texas
Panhandle and Oklahoma.

VFR conditions are expected to hold under these gusty
southwesterly winds. Expect these winds to last through the late
evening hours with potential for gust to reach near the 35 kt
mark. Low chance of severe thunderstorms does exist in the far
eastern portion of the Panhandles, but at this time no impacts are
expected to the terminals. Otherwise, look for a cold frontal
passage to move through late tonight and create a northerly wind
shift at all terminals by sunrise Friday.

VFR prevails with increasing southwesterly winds most areas this
afternoon. Peak gusts of 25 to 35 kts will focus through the
highlands with later onset time of breezy to windy conditions in
more protected valley locations like KABQ or KROW. Winds taper
off this evening with a return to southwesterly winds by the end
of the TAF period at 18Z Friday. There will also be isolated LLWS
concerns along and just east of the ridgeline along the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains. This will include the KAXX terminal, and perhaps
KLVS and KRTN.
