VFR conditions are expected at KALS, KCOS, and KPUB through 24
hours, with gusty winds this afternoon to around 25 knots. Mid level
clouds will increase at all three sites through the afternoon and
into the overnight hours. There also exists a lower-end chance for a
few showers and thunderstorms near KCOS this afternoon, but
confidence is still too low to include in the TAF at this time.

Expect VFR conditions with increasing clouds ahead of the next
system through the next 24 hours. Look for isolated to scattered
showers to move in from the northwest overnight becoming
scattered along and north of the I-70 corridor after about 15Z.
Included vicinity showers from KCNY and KASE northward late in
the TAF period with showers becoming predominant at KVEL after
16Z. Conditions will remain above ILS breakpoints through the
TAF period.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion
Issued at 0909 UTC Friday, May 24, 2024
.AVIATION...KSLC...Increasing mid and high VFR clouds will be
common this morning along with southerly winds. Models suggest a
brief wind shift to the SW between 19Z-20Z before shifting to the
more typical NW between 20Z and 21Z. Yesterday`s cold front will
move back north this afternoon, and showers associated with it are
expected to develop towards 00Z, with occasional showers persisting
through Saturday. Model consensus suggests these showers will force
an earlier than usual wind shift to the S, with gusty S winds
continuing through much of the night Friday night. Better than a 90%
chance for VFR conditions through 09Z Saturday morning, but lower
CIG trends emerge after 09Z Saturday morning with showers. Chances
for MVFR approach 40% after 12Z Saturday.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Increasing mid and high VFR
clouds will be common this morning as yesterday`s cold front moves
back north this afternoon, and showers associated with it are
expected to develop towards 00Z, with occasional showers persisting
through Saturday. Most shower activity will be across central and NE
Utah, but isolated showers possible as far north as near the Idaho
border and as far south as the southern mountains. Gusty S-SW winds
will develop south of the warm front across southern Utah this
afternoon. After midnight tonight, pockets of MVFR CIGs and mountain
obscuration become more common across central and NE Utah associated
with showers.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1134 AM MDT Fri May 24 2024
Relatively quiet weather expected through the first 18 hours of the
forecast period. Westerly winds gusting 20 to 25kts will be possible
at most terminals through the afternoon, diminishing by sunset.
Otherwise, VFR conditions prevail at all terminals with only FEW to
SCT mid- and high-clouds through the evening hours. Cloud cover
begins to increase overnight, especially west of the Divide as the
next shortwave pushes into the region. Models indicate two separate
waves of moisture with this system. The first, looks to impact KRKS
overnight, between 09Z and 14Z Saturday. Have kept VFR for now, but
occasional MVFR conditions are certainly possible (30% chance)
during heavier showers. There is also a 20% chance of showers
reaching KLND, KRIW, and KCPR with this wave, but have left any
shower mentions out of the TAF due to low confidence. With the
second wave, hi- res models are struggling to resolve exact
timing, but for now, no impacts are expected before the end of
the TAF period.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

VFR expected to prevail at both KGLD and KMCK through the TAF
period. Surface winds will diminish at both terminals by early

again late tonight and especially Saturday morning as the

VFR conditions will prevail in vicinity of all TAF sites through
early Saturday. Gusty north winds are expected to gradually subside
through late afternoon while becoming more northeasterly as surface
high pressure drifts eastward through southern Nebraska and northern
Kansas. Southeasterly winds 10 to 20kt are then forecast to develop
generally after 06-08Z tonight as the surface high pushes farther
off to the east.

An upper level trough approaching from the west will strengthen
southwest winds today. Smoke from several wildfires will increase
in coverage as a result with localized impacts to cigs/vsbys in
the vicinity of these fires. Surface winds will taper off this
evening but strengthen aloft as a strong speed max moves in from
the west. This will lead to areas of LLWS but confidence is low at
any particular terminal. Southwest to west winds will be strong
Saturday with gusts of 35 to 45 kt common, along with areas of
smoke and blowing dust expected.
