.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday/...
Issued at 557 PM MDT Fri Aug 29 2025
Showers and a low threat of thunderstorms will start this TAF
period. The showers will likely remain in the area through
03Z-04Z, with a gradual decrease thereafter. VRB wind gusts to
~25 kts possible near any of the showers. Ceilings are expected
to remain above MVFR for most of this period, but IMC may be met
as scattered showers and local ceilings down to 5000-6000 feet can
be expected through 15Z. There is a chance (30%) of lower
IFR/MVFR ceilings 11Z-15Z considering a light northwest or
northerly wind push expected.
On Saturday, another round of scattered showers/storms can be
expected, so Prob30 -TSRA with variable winds is a good place to
start. Main threat of thunder would be after 20-21Z.

For KCOS and KPUB..Showers, thunderstorms, and brief reductions to
MVFR visibilities during heavier rain showers are expected to
continue through around 02Z. Light rain showers may linger over both
locations through 06Z or so at the latest. Mid-level cloud cover is
expected to stick around through much of the overnight hours, though
outflow from this evening`s convection may end up driving ceilings
lower than currently forecast. For now, low clouds and fog are not
expected, as winds are forecast to remain northerly. Another round
of showers and thunderstorms will be possible at both stations
tomorrow.
At KALS..VFR conditions for the rest of tonight and into tomorrow
morning, with scattered to broken mid and upper level cloud cover.
Another round of showers and thunderstorms will be possible tomorrow
afternoon, mainly after 20Z.

Widespread showers with a few stronger, embedded storms will
continue to drift across the area through sunset. These showers
and storms have produced heavy rain, reducing visibility and
resulting in brief drops to MVFR conditions. Activity will taper
after sunset, with winds becoming light and terrain driven.
Skies will gradually clear through the night. Another round of
showers and storms is expected tomorrow afternoon, with the main
concerns again being heavy rain and lightning. VFR conditions
will prevail, although again drops to MVFR due to heavy rain
will be possible.

.AVIATION...KSLC...The SLC terminal see VFR conditions through the
evening with some scattered clouds. Northwest winds are expected to
return to the southeast between 03Z and 05Z. There is 30 percent
chance of a thunderstorm impacting the terminal through the early
evening. If this occurs the main threats will be lightning as well
as gusty and erratic winds.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will persist
for the entire airspace through the period. Widely scattered
convection will impact portions of the northern and central airspace
through the early evening, with gusty winds possible with any storms
that develop. Away from storms, winds will be light and diurnally
driven across the area.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 951 PM MDT Fri Aug 29 2025
Prevailing VFR conditions will continue through the TAF period. A
weather system is passing through the area tonight, which has
resulted in more development of rain showers and thunderstorms in
central portions of the area. This area of scattered rain showers
and thunderstorms is located over the southwestern Bighorn Basin
down into the northern Wind River Basin. Impacts are possible (30%)
at KRIW and KWRL as the showers and storms move to the east early
tonight, and at KCPR early Saturday morning.
This area of showers and storms will end late Saturday morning, with
more convective development Saturday afternoon. The best chance for
impacts from convection will be at KCPR Saturday afternoon, which is
denoted by a PROB30, but chances remain too low (<20%) at all other
terminals at this time. Wind will remain below 10 knots, outside of
convective activity, tonight through Saturday morning. Gusty wind
will develop at KBPI, KPNA, and KRKS Saturday afternoon.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Main focus on this TAF period will be shower and storm potential
for each terminal. Strong to potentially severe storms are on
the table with large hail and damaging winds the main concerns.
Very heavy rainfall is also possible with any storm but
confidence is slightly higher in the impacts for MCK which is
what is driving the stronger wording in the PROB30. Some
guidance suggests some low stratus potential so will make
mention of it using SCT for each terminal for now. Off and on
showers do still remain possible about through the day Saturday
but confidence is a little iffy on coverage and potential
impact to terminals so will opt to leave out of the TAF.

An area of rain showers will track southeast through portions of
southwest Kansas into south central Kansas overnight, potentially
affecting the vicinity of all TAF sites through daybreak.
Additionally, low level stratus is forecast to develop within a
light southeasterly upslope flow and increased relative humidity
later this morning, resulting in potential MVFR cigs in vicinity
of all TAF sites initially, then eventually possible IFR cigs
toward daybreak. Areas of fog development will also be possible,
increasing the potential for MVFR vsbys and isolated IFR vsbys
generally after 10-12Z. Light south-southeast winds overnight
will become more variable generally after 13-15Z as a weak
frontal boundary associated with a surface low pushes east
through western Kansas.

Showers and thunderstorms are moving east away from the
terminals. Despite this, some low clouds are lingering around
from the increase moisture due to storms that dumped quite a bit
of rain on KDHT and KAMA. MVFR to IFR CIGs may be possible for
for these two terminals now through 14Z. Otherwise expecting
mainly VFR conditions with chances for more thunder late in the
TAF period, mainly after 00Z Sunday.

Showers and thunderstorms across the lower RGV and eastern NM this
evening will result in localized areas and periods of MVFR to IFR
conditions. Main hazards from these storms will be locally heavy
rainfall, large hail, and wind gusts of up to 60 mph, especially
across eastern NM. Thunderstorms move southeast into West Texas
late this evening. Areas of low clouds could develop around
sunrise tomorrow morning in the wake of this activity, including
KLVS and KTCC. Another round of showers and thunderstorms look to
develop tomorrow afternoon across southern NM and along a backdoor
front across northeast NM. Once again, main hazards will be
locally heavy rainfall and gusty and erratic wind gusts with
localized areas and periods of MVFR to IFR conditions if storms
directly impact a terminal.
