Snow and/or gust winds of 25 to 35kts will be impacting TAF
sites East of KCAG to KRIL to KTEX line through sunset.
MVFR/LIFR conditions will be possible at times at these
terminals along with stronger wind shear aloft creating mountain
wave turbulence. Lower clouds and passing snow showers will
linger well into the evening and continue to impact KHDN...KEGE
and KASE with periods of MVFR or lower conditions. Improvement
may come late to these TAF sites though ILS conditions may hang
on with widespread terrain obscuration over the higher
mountains likely to continue well into Sunday morning.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion
Issued at 1035 UTC Saturday, December 6, 2025
.AVIATION...KSLC...Wind direction could be a bit tricky this
morning, with some question as to when winds transition from
southeasterly to northwesterly with gusts to around 20kts. The most
likely timing is by 16z, however this could occur as early as 13z. A
few more isolated rain showers will be possible through 14z, with
CIGs lifting thereafter. VFR conditions will most likely prevail,
with only a 15% chance for MVFR conditions with any heavier shower
before 14z.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...A broad area of precipitation
early this morning, mainly across higher terrain, will gradually
shift southward into central Utah before diminishing by around 19z.
Strong west-northwesterly winds will continue, gradually decreasing
in magnitude heading into the late afternoon and evening hours. The
highest gusts can be expected at KEVW, with gusts up to 40kts
possible through the morning. CIGs will lift statewide, particularly
after 18z if not beforehand.

Issued at 351 AM MST Sat Dec 6 2025
West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
Conditions should gradually improve through the day. Local MVFR
to occasional IFR conditions are still possible through around
18Z, but most TAF sites should be largely VFR most of the time.
The most likely location to see below VFR conditions will be
KJAC. However, occasional to frequent mountain obscurations will
be possible through most of the day, especially in vicinity of
the Tetons. Strong wind will occur at times, especially in
vicinity of KRKS where gusts to 40 knots are possible. Wind
should decrease this afternoon as the storm moves away.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Largely VFR conditions will occur at all terminals. Occasional
MVFR will be possible mainly in vicinity of KCOD, KWRL and KCPR
through around 16Z this morning with possible snow showers with
decreasing chances through the day. There will be occasional to
frequent mountain obscurations though, especially around the
Bighorn Range. Gusty wind will occur at times through around 22Z
for all TAF sites with the exception of KWRL.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 439 AM MST Sat Dec 6 2025
The initial round of light snow is departing the Nebraska
panhandle over the next hour or two, which will be followed by a
wind shift to the northwest and an increase in gusts. Snow
showers will continue in the vicinity of Wyoming terminals
through much of the day today. Confidence is low in the timing
of any VIS/CIG reductions, but we will need to watch for a quick
drop in flight category for much of the day as these move
through. Otherwise, look for gusty winds to overspread the area
today, with frequent gusts of 30 to 40 knots in Wyoming and 20
to 30 knots in Nebraska. An occasional gust up to 50 knots is
possible at WY terminals. Winds will weaken this evening, and
die off in Nebraska. A period of low CIGs may impact CDR and AIA
overnight tonight.

A mix of -SNRA at the KLBF terminal until 15Z. Light snow will
continue mid morning into the afternoon across north central
Nebraska before moving out of the area by early evening. Winds
will increase across all of western and southwest Nebraska
this afternoon out of the west to northwest around 10 to 15 kt
with gust of 25 kts. An arctic front will move into northern
Nebraska tonight, bringing MVFR to IFR ceilings to north central
and central Nebraska. The lower ceilings may also reach KLBF
after 06Z, and may need to be included with the next TAF
issuance.

VFR conditions are forecast however am monitoring some
precipitation moving into the area from the west-northwest. A
light rain/snow mix is currently forecast but a period of
freezing drizzle can`t be completely ruled out for the MCK
terminal. Confidence is only around 20% in it occurring but be
aware of icing potential. Winds are forecast to increase through
the day with the strongest at GLD where gusts around 40 knots
are forecast as winds turn to the northwest through the day.
Winds are then forecast to decrease late this afternoon as the
nocturnal inversion sets in. Starting to see some signal for
stratus or fog towards the end of of this TAF period.
Confidence in direct impacts to the terminal is too low at this
time to include in the TAF but it will be added if confidence
increases.

Southwest winds will increase to 15-17 kts this morning as a
surface trough forms on the high plains. This trough will
gradually move east this afternoon and evening, with winds
becoming west to southwest at 10-13 kts. An upper level
disturbance will approach late this afternoon along with an
associated cold front. Mid level moisture and cold temperatures
at mid levels may result in gusty winds and a sprinkle; but
this will likely stay west of KGCK. Winds will settle down to 10
kts behind the front tonight. VFR conditions will persist.

VFR conditions at all terminals for the next 24 hours. A passing
weather system will bring gusty daytime winds to all terminals and
across the panhandles. Going into tonight the winds at the surface
will most likely cease gusting and become weaker. However in doing
so this will set up LLWS for all terminals during the late evening
and early morning hours of Sunday. Towards the mid morning hours
the LLWS will dissipate as the winds become weaker aloft.

Low clouds in and around the northern high terrain will continue
to erode over the next few hours. LLWS is currently in place in
and around the northern mountains. These gusty winds just off to
the deck will begin mixing down to the sfc around 15Z, creating
gusty W/NW winds today from the central mountain chain eastward. A
dry Pacific front will move across the region this evening
through the overnight hours from northwest to southeast, with
little sensible weather change other than a shift in wind
direction more to the north. LLWS will likely return to the same
areas tonight and may expand more into eastern NM as well.
