Outflow from some convection in the area is affecting wind
directions at this time. By 08Z, models point to fairly normal
and weak drainage wind patterns for the rest of tonight. An upper
trough will push across the forecast area by mid day Monday, then
west-northwesterly winds up to 30 knot are expected at DIA for a
few hours. There will be no ceiling issues tonight or Monday.

towards morning. Conditions will remain VFR with some mid/high

VFR/ILS conditions are dominating the TAF late this evening with
MVFR/IFR conditions present over KTEX due to passing moderate
snow showers. Clouds and precipitation will continue to make for
a difficult TAF forecast for many areas overnight and well into
Monday afternoon. So a mix of VFR with low probability/tempo
MVFR conditions are forecast for the bulk of the western
Colorado TAF sites east of KGJT. Widespread terrain obscuration
can be expected through the next 24 hours as well.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions are expected throughout the day at
the SLC terminal, though cigs should remain at or below 6000 feet
AGL through much of the morning. Southerly winds are anticipated
throughout the day with a 20 percent chance of a late wind shift to
the northwest.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Valley rain and mountain snow
focused primarily over northern Utah and southwest Wyoming this
morning is expected to taper off by the early afternoon. VFR
conditions will prevail for much of the airspace, with MVFR/IFR cigs
for northern Utah locations above 7000 feet this morning in snow.
VFR conditions are expected to become widespread by early afternoon.

IFR to MVFR conditions at BPI/PNA/RKS/RIW/LND to start the
period with light rain and/or snow mix at these locations as
depicted on radar. This will trend through the morning hours
through about 16-19Z respectively as the precipitation shifts
eastwardly throughout the day. With it, improving sky conditions
to VFR after the 17-21Z timeframe west to east. Mid level
ceilings persist overnight before starting to scatter out with
high pressure come Tuesday morning into the next TAF cycle.
Otherwise, expect windy conditions for all locations, highest at
CPR up to 25kts and RKS up to 30-35kts. These will diminish
towards sunset becoming less than 10kts after 22-01Z with
radiational cooling through the overnight hours.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

A front is sweeping across the area this evening. KLAR and KRWL
can expect a few more hours of rain and snow showers in the
area, followed by a lull, but winds will remain strong
especially at KRWL. For the High Plains, expect the front to
bring scattered rain showers and a wind shift through Monday
morning. These terminals should remain mostly VFR, but a brief
to to MVFR can`t be ruled out overnight.
Heading into Monday, look for gusty winds at all terminals. Wind
gusts of 30 to 40 knots are expected for Wyoming terminals, with
gusts of 20 to 30 knots in Nebraska. Snow showers will move back
into KRWL around dawn, bringing MVFR to IFR conditions back.
Further east, shower activity will be more spotty with brief
period of MVFR possible, but we may see a steadier push of
rainfall Monday afternoon or evening bringing MVFR conditions.

Low stratus is expected to overspread central and northern
Nebraska this afternoon, with widespread MVFR CIGs expected.
Additional low stratus then expands into the Sandhills tonight,
with CIGs lowering to low end MVFR/IFR for terminals north of
I-80. Scattered rain showers are also possible this afternoon
and evening, with brief MVFR visibilities possible.
A frontal boundary stalls near Highway 83 today, with west-
northwest winds (Gusts of 25 to 30 kts possible across far
southwest Nebraska) west of Highway 83 and southeast winds (10
to 15kts) to the east.

VFR conditions are forecast to prevail at both KGLD and KMCK.
Stratus east of KMCK this morning should remain east of the
airport, but any clouds that do manage to float over the airport
will be around 2,000 feet AGL, or lower. Winds will generally
remain weak until the cold front passes later this morning, then
expect gusts to climb to around 20-25 kts before calming near
sunset. There is a low potential for stratus and fog tomorrow
morning, mainly for KMCK, but confidence in it impacting flight
categories is less than 15%.

Breezy conditions are expected this afternoon as models continue
to see the Pacific front push across the Panhandles late this
morning. At KAMA, westerly to southwesterly surface wind gusts can
peak around 35 to 37kt with KDHT and KGUY possibly seeing 25kt
gusts as well. These winds should begin to quiet by sunset, with
the exit of the front. Otherwise, expected VFR conditions to hold
for the package.

A Pacific storm system has lifted north of the Four Corners area,
carrying associated showers into north central New Mexico and
Colorado. This activity will temporarily drop ceilings and
visibility down to the MVFR category (ceilings less than 3000 ft
and visibility less than 5 miles) with gust winds accompanying.
Mountain peaks in these areas will also be obscured in lower
clouds and rain/snow through 17/0900UTC when showers will start
to exit and fall apart. Winds aloft will intensify overnight with
winds at 10,000ft above sea level reaching 40-50 kt. This will
produce mountain wave activity along and just east of the Sangre
de Cristos with turbulence extending to the eastern plains and
down to just a couple thousand feet above the surface (low level
wind shear). Stronger winds will mix down to the surface through
the mid to late morning hours Monday with gusts peaking at 30-40
kt near KLVS, KCQC, KSXU, and KTCC.
