Winds have gone more easterly than anticipated at DEN tonight, we
are expecting a more southerly component to return in the next few
hours. Early tomorrow afternoon (~19Z), southwest winds are
likely with gusts up to 30 mph, then after roughly 21Z some
passing showers are likely over all airports. These are expected
to be high based showers that could produce some gusty and erratic
outflows up to 40 mph.

Showers will linger over eastern Utah over the next 24 hours
with possible ILS conditions and a low probability of MVFR at
KVEL by the afternoon. Winds will increase aloft leading to some
areas of LLWS and mountain wave turbulence. These winds mix
down tomorrow and will bring more widespread 35 to 40 mph winds
with higher gusts possible near showers through the afternoon.
Showers and storms expand in coverage this afternoon and
continue that through late evening.

.AVIATION...KSLC...A disturbance and associated cold front will
sweep across the terminal this afternoon bringing a myriad of
impacts. First, gusty S winds (15-25kts) anticipated this morning
with showers in the vicinity. Line of showers with embedded
thunder expected to move across the terminal between 17Z-20Z,
complete with gusty, erratic outflow winds, lightning and perhaps
small hail. Can`t rule out brief reductions to MVFR (25% chance)
with a 10%, with a chance for brief IFR conditions. In the wake of
this wave, isolated to scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms linger through about 03Z. Wind direction forecast is
highly uncertain after 18Z due to the shower/storm activity, but
confidence increases in the emergence of S winds around 02Z.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Disturbance and associated
cold front will move across Utah and SW Wyoming this afternoon. In
advance of these features, band of showers will continue across
central and NE Utah this morning, with pockets of mountain
obscuration. Clusters of showers and thunderstorms will then move
across central and northern Utah as well as SW Wyoming later this
morning through the afternoon hours. This activity will produce
gusty, erratic outflow winds, brief reductions in CIG/VIS to the IFR
category, lightning and small hail. This activity will gradually
diminish this evening, leaving tranquil conditions overnight.

Prevailing VFR conditions through about the first half of the
period. Two rounds of showers move through the area over the next 24
hours. The first occurs at the start of the period, with most likely
impacts at KRKS through about 15Z. Models have shifted the best
precipitation chances southward, so KRKS could see very little
precipitation. Have kept prevailing rain in the TAF for now, but
confidence is lower. KCPR has about a 10% chance to see a shower.
The next round comes Saturday late afternoon through the evening.
Showers and thunderstorms are possible with this push of moisture.
High-resolution models have a slightly better grasp on starting
times, but struggle with the speed of the system and how long
precipitation chances linger into the evening and early night. Have
attempted to put average start and end times in the TAFs but would
not be surprised to see timings adjust a few hours in either
direction for future issuances.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Low level wind shear will be developing before daybreak as a low
level jet becomes established across central Nebraska.
Otherwise, expect VFR conditions with light winds at the
surface through daybreak. There may be a few sprinkles around
from some mid clouds but probabilities are quite low so will
maintain dry conditions and amend if necessary. Winds will
become gusty as diurnal heating mixes the boundary layer
Saturday morning with gusts to 30kt at KLBF but a bit lower at
KVTN. Expect widely scattered showers and thunderstorms to
develop late in the day and will use VCTS for a couple of hours
toward 00Z before returning to dry VFR conditions by the end of
the valid period.

VFR flying conditions this TAF cycle for all terminals. Current
light and variable winds will begin to increase shortly after
sunrise Saturday morning, reaching the 18-23 kt range with gusts
of 28-33 kts by mid-morning. These winds will continue through
00Z when a gradual weakening trend will occur owing to the loss
of boundary layer mixing. Towards the end of the period, winds
will begin to veer to southwest to westerly as a cold front
approaches southwest KS.

VFR conditions are forecast at all sites throughout the period.
Winds currently out of the south will increase out of the
southwest tomorrow, sustained at 20-25 kts, gusting around 35-40
kts. Some marginal LLWS still can`t be ruled out at KDHT tonight,
but continue to lack confidence for including mentions at this
time.

The jetstream will move over NM Saturday morning, then linger
overhead through the day, with strong winds areawide. Winds will
begin gusting out of the southwest in the morning, then the wind
direction will shift out of the west during the afternoon and
evening as a Pacific cold front crosses from the west. Vigorous
thermals will develop over eastern areas, where high temperatures
will climb as much as 8 degrees above 1991-2020 averages. The
Indios Fire near Gallinas Peak and the Blue 2 Fire in the
northern Sacramento Mountains are expected to billow with well-
developed smoke plumes stretching toward the northeast Saturday
afternoon, then toward the east Saturday evening. The Blue Fire`s
plume will probably expand rapidly during mid to late morning, and
continue into the late night hours near and southwest of the fire;
including over KSRR where an MVFR ceiling is likely late Saturday
night with a risk of visibility reduction as well. You may view
