.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 433 PM MST Thu Dec 4 2025
Mostly clear skies expected across the state as dry northwest flow
aloft settles in. VFR conditions forecast through approx. 10z for
the forecast area, which includes the three main TAF sites of KCOS,
KPUB and KALS. Starting around 10z there is a chance for fog to
redevelop due to the snowpack, especially for KALS so maintained IFR
to LIFR conditions there through 16z. Maintained TEMPO group for
KCOS and KPUB from 10z to 14z for MVFR vsby due to patchy fog, but
less confidence for those sites. VFR conditions for all area by 19z
tomorrow.

evening and most likely (70% chance) remain southerly through the
forecast period. Increasing moisture will yield gradually lowering
CIGs through the evening, falling to around 6kft around 01Z, and
falling to between 2kft-3kft around 10Z as snow showers approach.
Occasional snow showers then continue through the morning Friday
before gradually mixing with and changing to rain during the
afternoon. Heaviest precipitation expected Friday evening, when
probabilities for IFR approach 20%; LIFR probs 10%.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Moisture will increase from
the NW this evening, with snow developing across northern Utah
valleys from late this evening through the overnight hours, with
periods of snow continuing through the morning before mixing with or
changing to rain Friday afternoon. Exception will be across SW
Wyoming where all snow (>90% chance for all snow) is expected. Two
scenarios emerge for Cache Valley and Wasatch Back, as probabilities
for rain vs. snow are nearly equal by Friday evening. Better than a
50% chance exists for valley terminals to see MVFR flight categories
develop between 04Z-08Z overnight, with ~25% chance for IFR.
Mountain obscuration will develop across the northern and central
mountains.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
More persistent snow is beginning to move into western Wyoming late
this afternoon. This has brought and will continue to bring IFR
conditions at KJAC this evening through most of Friday morning.
Confidence is lower on snow making it farther east, though there
will be occasional MVFR ceilings at KPNA and potentially KBPI
overnight. KRKS will continue to see a west wind through the period
with gusts generally over 20 knots. Conditions are expected to
improve at KJAC after 17Z Friday, though another push of snow is
expected late in the period. Frequent mountain obscurations are
expected through the period.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Snow will have a more difficult time moving east of the Divide. The
primary impact from this system will be strong wind at KCOD. Gusts
will peak over 40 knots through this evening, dropping only slightly
overnight. Otherwise, terminals will remain VFR through most of
tonight. Cloud decks will lower around 12Z Friday, with MVFR
ceilings expected at KCOD, KCPR, and KWRL through the end of the
period. KCPR will have the best chance of light snow after sunrise
Friday and have included a PROB30 group to account for this.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

RWL continues to bounce between a BKN020 and clear skies this
evening with all other sites currently VFR. This will continue
with LAR seeing some light snow yet tonight and winds slowly
calming through the period. As this system winds down expect
dropping ceilings in the front range and NE panhandle through
staying above MVFR thresholds most likely (not guaranteed
however). Winds remaining west to northwest for all sites over
the next 24 hours and some scattered pockets of wind shear
mainly within the first 12 hours of the taf period.

For KGLD & KMCK... VFR conditions are expected through the
period with ceilings generally above 7000ft. Winds are forecast
to start more from the southwest, become more westerly before
06Z, and then shift to be a bit from the northwest during the
day tomorrow. Keep an eye out for brief periods of low level
wind shear tonight as winds around 200-400ft are forecast to be
around 30 kts from the northwest.

Early this evening, a narrow axis of stratus cloud in the 2000
to 3000 foot layer continued over southwest Kansas, including
over LBL, GCK, DDC, and HYS. The ceiling will gradually scatter
out as drier downslope westerly winds impinge on western Kansas
through the night. As a result all terminals will eventually
become VFR tonight which will continue through Friday.

As of early this evening, latest satellite was seeing the current
cloud cover begin to push eastward off the Panhandles with all
terminals now reporting VFR conditions. However, these conditions
may not last as we get into the overnight hours with multiple
CAMS suggesting freezing fog may develop. At this time best
chances are currently present over KDHT and KGUY tonight with
around a 15 to 30% chance of seeing visibility drop below a half
mile through sunrise Friday. As for KAMA, the lack of meaningful
precipitation from yesterdays storms has weaken chances of fog
signficantly, but it still can`t be fully ruled out.

A Center Weather Advisory for High Turb is in place along the
Sangre de Cristo Mts with dry northwest flow over the region.
Otherwise, the main focus tonight will be low probability
freezing fog in areas where snow melted today and sfc winds
decouple before sunrise. Chances are less than 5% areawide
with slightly better hints near KROW, KGUP, and the San Juan
Mts. Northwest winds will perk up again Friday along the east
slopes of the central mt chain with passing mid and high level
cloud cover.
