An approaching system has brought scattered showers and
increasing cloud cover today. This trend will continue through
the overnight, with lowering ceilings and showers filling in
from southwest to northeast. KASE, KEGE, and KRIL will be
flirting with ILS breakpoints by 06z this evening, and will be
below them by 12z. Many terminals will see ceilings and/or
visibility drop below breakpoints. Winds will be light through
the period. VFR conditions will prevail through 12z tomorrow
morning, then MVFR to IFR conditions will become increasingly
common.

Flagstaff Aviation Discussion
Issued at 2344 UTC Thursday, October 9, 2025
.AVIATION...Friday 10/00Z through Saturday 11/00Z...Expect
widespread SHRA developing overnight and continuing through
Friday, with Isold TSRA this evening and again on Friday
afternoon. MVFR and local IFR in showers and thunderstorms. High
terrain locations will see more persistent IFR conditions due to a
combination of low clouds, fog, and rain. Winds will generally be
out of the SE with gusts 15-20 kts.
OUTLOOK...Saturday 11/00Z through Monday 13/00Z...Expect widespread
SHRA/TSRA through Saturday night, decreasing from the NW on
Sunday. Widespread MVFR conditions and areas of IFR due to
continuous periods of SHRA/RA and isolated TSRA. Periods of
IFR/LIFR conditions in FG are also expected over higher elevation
upslope areas, including KFLG/KGCN. Winds will become S-SW at
10-20 kts with gusts near 25 kts on Saturday. Gusty/erratic winds
will also be possible in heavier showers/storms.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion
Issued at 2235 UTC Thursday, October 9, 2025
.AVIATION...KSLC...Overall dry conditions prevail this afternoon,
with increasing mid-high level clouds into this evening. Prevailing
winds remain generally southerly through the TAF period, with
afternoon breezes tapering off around 03z. Chances for showers
arrive as early as 03z Friday, before more widespread rain fills in
after 09z. Increased instability between roughly 09-15z Friday
yields a 30% chance for thunderstorm development during this period.
Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected through
early Friday afternoon before a brief lull.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...A band of heavy rainfall and
isolated thunderstorms moving through southern Utah this afternoon
will continue to move northeastward through this afternoon. Another
round of showers and thunderstorms overspreads a majority of the
airspace overnight, leading to periodic impacts to regional
terminals through the day on Friday. Main threats will be heavy rain
that leads to reductions in VIS/CIGS to MVFR or even IFR at times,
in addition to frequent lightning.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 534 PM MDT Thu Oct 9 2025
VFR flight conditions are forecast this TAF period with increasing
mid to high level clouds from the southwest ahead of the next
weather system. Rain shower chances (30%) begin first at KRKS and
KJAC before becoming more widespread as they move to the northeast.
PROB30 groups are maintained at KRKS and KJAC for these chances.
Most other terminals have a 10% to 20% chance of seeing rain showers
and an isolated thunderstorm after 16Z. There is slightly higher
confidence in a shower or thunderstorm at KCPR beginning around 22Z
Friday and these chances are reflected in a PROB30 groups. MVFR
flight conditions cannot be completely ruled out in a stronger
rain shower or thunderstorm but there is not enough confidence
at this time to include in TAF.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 600 PM MDT Thu Oct 9 2025
Southwest flow aloft will continue tonight and Friday with intervals
of low to midlevel cloudiness. A few light rain showers are expected
early this evening with a higher coverage of showers and embedded
thunder after 17z Friday for the southeast Wyoming terminals.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR conditions will prevail tonight. There
is a minimal to slight chance (5% to 10%) of fog at KAIA, KBFF, and
KSNY once again tonight after 09z. With limited confidence and a
pretty dry boundary layer this afternoon, will keep out of the TAF
for now. Will continue to monitor trends tonight and may amend
later.

VFR conditions are forecast to continue for the first 3-6 hours
of this TAF period for each terminal but watching for another
round of fog/stratus to develop overnight. Thinking is that MCK
will be the first to drop around 04Z due to dewpoint depressions
being smaller as lingering stratus earlier today helped keep
temperatures lower. GLD is then forecast to drop around 06Z;
dense fog looks to be most likely at GLD than MCK as a ridge
axis moves through the area. Any fog/stratus left is forecast to
end around 12-14Z for each terminal. Confidence in fog is around
70% and around 30-40% for dense fog for GLD and around 10-20%
chance for MCK. Winds are forecast to become breezy during the
late morning and through the afternoon with gusts around 25
knots for GLD. Currently not seeing the gust potential for MCK
so will remain with a higher sustained at this time.

A surface cold front will move into southwest Kansas late
tonight/early Saturday morning. As this boundary passes the
winds will shift from south southwest at 10 knots or less to the
north, with the potential for patchy fog. The latest CAMS
guidance suggests this front will pass through the Garden City
and Hays areas between 09Z and 12Z Saturday, then progress
towards Liberal and Dodge City by 15Z where it is expected to
become nearly stationary through early Saturday night. The fog
development near and north of this boundary will reduce
visibility to 3-5miles at times in the Garden City and Hays
areas between 12Z and 15Z. There is also a 20 to 40% chance of
visibilities falling to 2 miles or less, with the highest
confidence for this occurring in the Hays area. Outside of this
early morning fog potential, VFR conditions are anticipated.

VFR conditions prevail and are forecast to persist, although
short-lived MVFR conditions can be expected with the ongoing round
of iso/sct showers and storms through the evening hours. A
secondary round of showers is forecast to develop across northwest
NM overnight, impacting KFMN with MVFR conditions. Lower IFR
probabilities exist at KFMN early Friday morning in rain.
Otherwise, except for some brief gustiness this evening winds will
generally be light.
