.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday/...
Issued at 710 PM MDT Fri Oct 3 2025
VFR through Saturday. Southwest winds will increase Saturday
morning, with gusts to 25 knots at KDEN/KAPA after 14z and gusts
to 35 knots possible after 18z. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected after 21z, and there`s some uncertainty
on wind direction after that time due to possible shower outflow
and a weak frontal boundary. The TAFs cover this with a PROB30
group for variable winds gusting up to 40 knots, but it`s possible
there could be a longer lived period of northerly winds after 21z.
For KBJC lots of uncertainty about the winds Saturday as there may
be an eddy sheltering that area from the southwest winds. KBJC is
more likely to have northwest or northerly winds late in the day.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 557 PM MDT Fri Oct 3 2025
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are moving to
the northeast across the region. Look for these storms to
increase in coverage through the overnight becoming widespread
across the higher terrain in the region by 12Z. Gusty south to
southwest winds will increase through the evening and overnight
hours generally gusting 20-30 kts, but with convective activity,
expect gusts over 45 kts possible near passing storms. Most TAF
sites will see Low-Level Wind Shear from about 03Z through about
17Z. Mountain TAF sites will see periods below ILS breakpoints
mostly due to low ceilings with these storms. These showers and
thunderstorms will diminish southwest to northeast after 15Z
moving out of the region to the northeast by about 00Z Sunday.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 557 PM MDT Fri Oct 3 2025
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are moving to
the northeast across the region. Look for these storms to
increase in coverage through the overnight becoming widespread
across the higher terrain in the region by 12Z. Gusty south to
southwest winds will increase through the evening and overnight
hours generally gusting 20-30 kts, but with convective activity,
expect gusts over 45 kts possible near passing storms. Most TAF
sites will see Low-Level Wind Shear from about 03Z through about
17Z. Mountain TAF sites will see periods below ILS breakpoints
mostly due to low ceilings with these storms. These showers and
thunderstorms will diminish southwest to northeast after 15Z
moving out of the region to the northeast by about 00Z Sunday.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Predominantly southerly winds are expected
through this evening ahead of a cold front passage overnight, with
gusty southwesterly winds through around 02z before winds lighten
up thereafter. Spotty showers developing across northern Utah
this afternoon and evening may bring brief periods of erratic
winds. There is a 30% chance for thunderstorms between 02-05z this
evening. A band of heavy precipitation accompanies the cold front
passage overnight, with potential to yield MVFR VIS and a 30%
chance for thunderstorms. Expect a transition to northwesterly
winds behind the front, roughly after 10z Saturday.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Across the northern portion
of the airspace, showers and thunderstorms are expected this
afternoon and evening ahead of a cold front passage overnight.
These storms are expected to bring erratic winds to area
terminals, in addition to the potential for lightning and brief
heavy rainfall. A heavy band of precipitation accompanies the cold
front as it passes through northern Utah and southwest Wyoming
early to mid Saturday morning, yielding VIS/CIG reductions to
MVFR. Winds remain gusty out of the south-southwest for most
terminals through this evening, becoming northwesterly after the
frontal passage early Saturday.
The southern portion of the airspace remains generally dry through
the period, with gusty southwesterly winds through this evening.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 430 PM MDT Fri Oct 3 2025
An active TAF period is expected as a longwave trough approaches.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms across western Wyoming will
continue through the afternoon, with some of this activity spreading
east of the Divide as well as it moves northeastward. KCPR and KRKS
will see a gusty southwest wind through the afternoon, decreasing by
sunset. Precipitation chances continue mainly across western and
northern Wyoming overnight. Ceilings lower for most terminals
tonight through Saturday morning as the associated low begins moving
into Wyoming. Rain and mountain snow will then become more
widespread, with KJAC seeing MVFR conditions by 15Z. Near MVFR to
MVFR ceilings will then be seen for several terminals through
Saturday afternoon. Frequent mountain obscurations are expected
through the period.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence forecasts.

Issued at 530 PM MDT Fri Oct 3 2025
Overall VFR conditions expected tonight into early morning. KRWL
and KLAR could see a brief overnight shower around 06z. For
tomorrow, intermittent rain is expected as early as 13z for the
Southeast Wyoming terminals and after 17z for the Nebraska
Panhandle terminals. These intermittent showers are expected to
last through the evening with some embedded thunderstorms
possible. Visibility may drop below 6sm under rain showers and
under 3sm if thunderstorms develop. Ceilings look to drop
between 5,000 to 7,000ft during the time of the showers.

VFR expected to prevail at both KGLD and KMCK through the TAF
period. Surface winds will remain breezy to windy through the
period from the south to southwest. Nocturnal low level jet will
result in low level wind shear this evening through Saturday
morning. Some blowing dust is possible Saturday afternoon, but
confidence is low that visibility will be lowered enough to
impact operations.

Winds early this evening will subside a bit, but remain breezy
throughout the night. Out of the southerly direction, expected
sustained winds of 15-20 knots, with gusts 25-30 knots into
tomorrow morning. A potent low-level jet will also develop
tonight, increasing the LLWS. TAFs are reflective of this. Into
Saturday afternoon, southerly winds become strong, sustained
20-25 knots with gusts as high as 35-40 knots at times.

Gusty showers with isolated lightning strikes will continue to
impact KGUP and KFMN through mid this evening. Strengthening south
southwest winds aloft will result in LLWS across most TAF sites
across northern and central NM overnight. A pacific front will
move across the area during the midday and afternoon hours of
Saturday. Daytime mixing will allow stronger winds aloft to mix
down resulting in wind gusts of 25 to 40 kts across much of the
area. The strongest wind gusts will be across west central NM,
including KGUP and far northeast NM including KRTN and KCAO. Some
gusty showers possible across northern NM and the middle RGV,
including KSAF, KABQ, KAEG, and KLVS as the front passes through.
These gusty showers will result in locally stronger wind gusts.
