.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday/...
Issued at 1046 AM MST Sat Dec 6 2025
Challenging forecast for the next six hours or so, until 00Z
Sunday. Northwest low level flow has produced an anti-cyclone with
north to northeast winds moving into DEN. This should decrease
the downslope component some and scattered showers will be
possible this afternoon. Expect winds to stay a northerly
direction (NW, N, or NE) through 00Z Sunday. Outflow from the
showers could produce gusts to around 30 knots. Expect the showers
to be mostly rain. A stronger shower could briefly produce snow
or graupel. Ceilings could fall to 5000-6000 feet under the
stronger showers. Winds are expected to become weaker after 00Z
Sunday and settle a southerly direction by 06Z.

Snow showers will continue along the high terrain, ending from
south to north late this afternoon through the evening. Chances
of snow at KTEX, KGUC, and KRIL drop before 00Z, but increased
chances persist at KASE, KEGE, and KHDN through the evening
hours. MVFR to LIFR conditions, and drops below ILS
breakpoints, are possible at these sites as the winter weather
brings lower ceilings and visibility. Gusty winds and wind
shear aloft will may impact some sites as well. Conditions
should improve tonight, but terrain obscuration could prevail
through the overnight hours.

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.

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.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1017 AM MST Sat Dec 6 2025
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.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1143 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025
TAFs continue with VFR conditions through the 18Z period. Breezy,
westerly winds are expected though the afternoon today. After a
cold front passes through this evening, winds will become light
and northerly. Low level wind shear looks less likely at all sites
tonight; therefore, mentions have been removed. Wind speeds in the
first 2,000 ft will increase marginally, but it shouldn`t be
enough to create low level speed shear in the area tonight.
