.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday/...
Issued at 1032 AM MST Fri Dec 5 2025
VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. Winds are
currently light and variable at the terminals, but should attempt
to turn to some sort of easterly direction at DEN/APA later today.
A few westerly gusts could develop at BJC but confidence is fairly
low in that scenario. Other concern for today is a gradual
lowering of ceilings, with a few hours of BKN050-060 possible this
afternoon.
Drainage winds should develop tonight, but should transition to a
stronger west-northwesterly wind by the late morning hours. A few
gusts near 35-40kt are likely by 18z which should continue into
the afternoon hours.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1043 AM MST Fri Dec 5 2025
VFR conditions with high cloudiness will overspread the region
through Saturday at the terminals. KALS will see another round
of fog tonight with IFR to even LIFR conditions possible around
sunrise. Northwest to westerly drainage winds at KCOS and KPUB
should prevent fog formation but could cause some low level wind
shear towards dawn. Confidence is low that this will occur
within 2000 feet, so have not introduced low level wind shear
into the TAFs just yet, but this will be monitored and may
become necessary with the 00z TAF issuance. -KT

.AVIATION...KSLC...A second round of precipitation will move into
the area early this morning, resulting in a period of light-moderate
precipitation between ~14-19z (though intermittent showers may
continue through the afternoon). MVFR conditions will accompany this
round, with a 30% chance for periodic IFR conditions. Snow will
transition to rain in the early afternoon, and will remain rain as a
second round of heavier precipitation moves in Friday night. CIGs
are expected to remain below 5000ft through the TAF period.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Snowfall will continue across N-
UT/SW-WY this morning, resulting in periodic MVFR-IFR conditions.
Showers will become more scattered and showery in nature this
afternoon, with many valley sites transitioning to rain as snow
levels rise above 6000ft. Gusty westerly winds will develop mainly
across higher terrain and over SW-WY, with gusts increasing to
around 30kts at KEVW by Friday evening.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
A winter storm will continue to impact terminals across western
Wyoming. KJAC will begin the period VFR/MVFR before another push of
persistent snow moves in around 22Z. IFR conditions are then
expected to persist at KJAC through around 08Z Saturday before an
improvement to MVFR with lingering snow through the end of the
period. KBPI and KPNA will also see periods of MVFR/IFR tonight.
KRKS should miss out on the worst of the snow but should still see
MVFR impacts. All terminals will see an accompanying gusty wind,
especially at KRKS which will see gusts to 40 knots after 06Z.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Wind will be the primary aviation concern east of the Divide as most
of the snow stays west. The strongest wind will come overnight
tonight through much of the rest of the period, most notable at KCPR
which will see gusts over 30 knots. Some snow will make it east of
the Divide, leading to occasional impacts at or near terminals with
the best chances at KCOD, KCPR, and KWRL after 04Z.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

MVRF in RWL today with snow and ceilings around 2kft. Winds
frequently gusting over 30-40kts in RWL, LAR, and CYS by 06z
onwards and 20-30kts for Nebraska sites after 06z. Wind shear
will be prevalent for all sites at some point in the TAF period
predominately Westerly or NW in direction and 35-50kts in
magnitude. Other than the interior mtn sites of RWL and LAR all
sites staying above MVFR thresholds for visibility and ceiling
but still seeing ceilings drop to 4-6kft for most at some point
in the period.

VFR conditions will continue through the remainder of Friday for
area terminals.
Attention quickly turns to an approaching disturbance bringing
the threat of wintry precipitation to the area tomorrow.
Previous thoughts of more localized coverage are now trending
towards more widespread, though brief, impacts. Have included a
mention at LBF now for a few hours post-sunrise Saturday.
Greater impacts appear likely at VTN with IFR now in the
forecast. Believe a transition from snow to rain may contain
some ice potential, but will withhold this from the forecast for
now until confidence increases. Expect a quick improvement by
late in the period with an end to precipitation but lingering
low clouds.

VFR conditions forecast for the TAFs. Breezy winds will subside
around 22z. Toward 12z LLWS is forecast for KMCK as the low
level jet moves through ahead of a trough. Behind the trough
southerly winds will turn to the southwest then west. There may
be some light snow/rain occur after 12z for KMCK. At this time
confidence for any precipitation occurring is 20%. Confidence is
even lower the precipitation will lower conditions below VFR.

All sites expected to remain at VFR throughout the period. Most
areas will see a persistent northwest wind throughout the
afternoon. Some stronger gusts of 20 to 25 kts may be observed at
KFMN and KAEG, as well as over parts of the central highlands
like KCQC. Winds become more light and variable overnight as the
flow at the surface decouples from the flow aloft. Stronger winds
will remain over the highest elevations and low level wind shear
will develop along the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and parts of the
eastern plains.
