Issued at 442 AM MST Sat Dec 6 2025
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

.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.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
Snow chances continue through the afternoon, especially at KJAC,
where MVFR to IFR conditions should prevail. There may be occasional
periods of VFR if lighter snow moves over. Snow at KJAC should come
to an end around 04z this evening, though very light snow could
persist overnight. A better indication of snow comes Sunday morning,
around 16z or 17z.
Elsewhere, there will be snow showers around, but chances will
generally be 20 to 30 percent, so have largely left mention out of
the TAFs after the first few hours. Any snow shower that does impact
a terminal should be of short duration.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
VFR conditions prevail through the period. A stray snow shower could
briefly impact a terminal, but chances remain less than 30 percent
for most sites. The exception may be at KCOD or KWRL, where chances
are closer to 30 or 40 percent, so have included PROB30 groups for
heavier snow shower chances. These chances should end by 00z or
shortly after. Otherwise, west wind will be the main hazard through
the period, though lessens some overnight.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Snow showers are possible across southeast Wyoming for much of this
TAF period, as a result, CIG/VIS reductions are likely for terminals
primarily west of I-25 if a snow shower passes overhead or in the
VC. Winds will be the main threat to aviation operations, with
westerly gusts 30 to 40 knots, possibly up to 50 knots, across
Wyoming terminals and 20 to 30 knots in the Nebraska panhandle. The
wind threat will ease after 03Z Sunday across all terminals while
lower CIGs may impact KCDR and KAIA tonight into tomorrow
morning.

Snow continues to exit north central Nebraska this afternoon,
with precipitation ending for all terminals by late afternoon.
Low stratus will then overspread the area from north to south
tonight, leading to widespread IFR/locally LIFR CIGs for
terminals near and north of I-80. Stratus then begins to exit to
the east tomorrow afternoon, with some improvement by the end of
the valid period.
Winds remain gusty from the northwest into this evening, with
gusts of 20 to 30kts expected west of HWY 83. Winds then become
light from the north overnight, at 5 to 10kts.

VFR to MVFR conditions forecast for the TAFs. Breezy winds will
continue until 23z or so then become light. Around 9z low clouds
may move over KMCK, lasting until 16z or so. Some model data is
suggesting ceilings may fall to 500 ft or so. Confidence is not
high enough at this point to place a mention of that in the TAF.
Meanwhile KGLD may also have lower visibility toward 12z. Fog
should develop near or west of the site. This may persist until
16z or so. Some model data is suggesting visibility may fall to
IFR conditions, or that the fog will not form and there will
instead be MVFR or IFR ceilings for KGLD. With most model data
indicating fog occurring near KGLD, decided to trend the
forecast that direction at this time.

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.
