.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday/...
Issued at 1137 PM MDT Sat Oct 4 2025
VFR conditions through the day Sunday, with increasing chances of
MVFR/IFR cigs by Sunday evening. Winds have settled down over the
past couple of hours and should remain light through most of the
overnight hours. A cold front is expected to turn winds to the
northeast by around 16-18z. Deepening upslope and the arrival of
some moisture will lead to an increase in cloud cover through the
late afternoon hours. Initially this should be a BKN060-080 deck
that lowers quickly from 00-06z Sunday night... with MVFR cigs
possible as early as 02z. There may also be a period of light
rainfall, with better odds at BJC compared to DEN/APA.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1104 PM MDT Sat Oct 4 2025
VFR conditions are expected at all three stations KCOS, KPUB, and
KALS, through the next 24 hours. MVFR ceilings may be possible
towards the very end of the forecast period for KCOS, as upslope may
begin to deepen earlier than currently forecast, leading to lower
cloud decks. At this time though, ceilings are expected to remain
VFR, with easterly winds through much of the period at both KCOS and
KPUB. Winds pick up in strength, with gusts to 25kt possible as
winds become more northeasterly after sunset. At KALS, winds will
remain gusty out of the south-southwest throughout the daytime hours
tomorrow.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Light to moderate rain will continue through
around 23-00z before transitioning to more intermittent showers
through around 03z. After 03z, there is a 20 percent chance of
showers through the night and into Sunday morning. MVFR conditions
and mountain top obscurations are likely to continue through 23-00z,
with brief IFR conditions possible. This evening and overnight, VFR
conditions are expected to prevail, with periodic MVFR conditions
possible in heavier showers. Southerly winds are currently expected
to switch to northwesterly by 22-23z, but there is a 25% chance that
winds will remain southerly.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Periods of light to moderate
rain will continue across northern Utah and southwest Wyoming
through around 00z before transitioning to more isolated to widely
scattered rain showers for the rest of the night. Areas of MVFR
conditions with localized IFR conditions along with mountain top
obscurations will continue in these areas through at least 22-00z.
This evening and overnight, VFR conditions are expected to prevail,
with local MVFR conditions possible in heavier showers. Across
southern Utah, expect scattered cloud cover into the early evening
hours before skies gradually clear out through the night. Otherwise,
winds through this evening will remain generally westerly to
northwesterly areawide, locally variable due to showers, before
winds decrease and trend more diurnal later tonight.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1050 PM MDT Sat Oct 4 2025
Lingering rain showers and embedded thunder over the western
Nebraska Panhandle will push east into central Nebraska by 08z early
this morning as the first upper level trough axis swings northeast
across the region. Quieter conditions expected through most of
Sunday, before showers redevelop over southeast Wyoming later Sunday
as the secondary upper level trough digs south into northern
Colorado.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR conditions will prevail for all western
Nebraska terminals through 15z Sunday. After a brief lull, winds
will increase out of the west before sunrise...and then shift into
the north and northeast through Sunday afternoon. KRWL, KLAR, and
KCYS will see lowering and thickening clouds ahead of the next
trough, with MVFR CIGS likely (>70%) at KRWL in the next few hours,
and later this morning through Sunday afternoon KLAR and KCYS. Any
rainfall will mainly be confined to KLAR and KCYS after 22z Sunday.

A 50 kt LLJ will lead to LLWS across the terminal through the morning
hours. Winds will remain strong today and will be from the SSE to
SSW around 20 kt with gusts around 30 kt. Have inserted PROB30 for
TSRA for both KDDC and KHYS this evening. A front will sag southward
and storms should develop off it. There will be a fropa late this
evening, but this is near the end of the TAF pd. VFR conditions should
prevail.

VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. LLWS upwards
of 40-50 kts is expected at each of the terminals through sunrise.
Winds will remain breezy to gusty for most of this TAF cycle with
gusts upwards of 20-30 kts out of the south. Winds will decrease
after 00z but should remain out of the south. There are low
chances for showers or storms at KAMA/KGUY starting near or
slightly before 00z, but confidence is not high enough to mention
in the TAFs at this time.
