KALS...VFR conditions the next 24 hours. Winds will become w-sw
10-15 kts this afternoon, then light and variable again
overnight. A few showers are possible across the San Luis
Valley, but confidence in one hitting the terminal is low.
KCOS and KPUB...MVFR/brief IFR cigs possible through 15z, then
lower clouds break with occasional VFR cigs through midday.
Thunderstorms are expected at both terminals after around 20z,
continuing into the evening, as several CAMs suggest multiple
waves of convection possible. Reduced CIGS and VIS along with
gusty outflow winds will be possible with any storms that move
across the terminals. Storms then shift east with VFR cigs and
light winds overnight.

A deck of mid level cloud cover is streaming through the region
with a few rain showers in tow. Additional showers and
thunderstorms will develop this morning and into the afternoon.
Winds are expected to pick up with shower and storm activity.
Ceilings are expected to degrade into breakpoint territory for
most terminals as this activity passes through. MVFR to VFR
conditions will return this evening and most terminals should
return VFR by the end of this period. Storms could produce some
small hail today too.

Issued at 1018 UTC Friday, August 29, 2025
.AVIATION...KSLC...Light, southeasterly winds will continue through
the morning, transitioning to northwesterly around 17-19z. Isolated
showers and thunderstorms will develop after ~19z over nearby higher
terrain, with a low chance of impacting KSLC directly (20% chance).
If a storm does move over the terminal, the main threats would be
gusty and erratic outflow winds and lightning.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...A large swath of light,
stratiform rainfall continues to move into southern Utah early this
morning, though conditions are likely to remain VFR despite rainfall
lasting through the morning hours. This area of rainfall will
continue northeastward through the early morning, reaching KPUC
around 10z and KU69 as early as 12z. Across areas that did not
experience this rainfall, including areas west of KPVU-KHCR-KEVW and
north of KDTA, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
expected to develop after ~18-19z. These showers may be capable of
producing gusty and erratic outflow winds.

Low cigs and patchy fog will create MVFR or lower conditions
through early afternoon. Cigs will lift in the afternoon and VFR
conditions will return for the afternoon and early evening
hours. Then lower cigs will return in the evening hours with
MVFR or lower conditions returning. Winds will generally be
light at less than 10 kts. There will also be chance for

Low ceilings are generally trending lower across the region
with prevailing MVFR conditions ongoing at KGLD and IFR at KMCK.
The best chance for LIFR conditions is at KMCK closer to
sunrise this morning as patchy fog develops over the terminal
through ~16-18Z. Conditions across the region will improve with
daytime heating though more showers and storms are possible this
afternoon ~22Z through the overnight hours as a cold front moves
south over the Central High Plains. Overall coverage is still in
question, so for now have both terminals in PROB30 groups for
storms. Primary hazard is large hail up to two inches with heavy
rain and wind gusts to 60 mph also possible.

Considerable amount of moisture remains in place. Therefore, cigs
and vis will be IFR through a combination of low cigs and patchy
fg/br and reduced visibility. Some improvement during the day is
expected. Winds will be fairly light and variable through the TAF
pd.

A range from MVFR to IFR cigs are being observed to start the 12Z

improve back to VFR levels. PROB30 group then introduced around
00Z for TSRA conditions where erratic winds will be possible.
Then around 07-09Z through to the end of the TAF period, MVFR and
IFR cigs may return to all TAF sites once again, Overall winds

Multiple cloud layers will persist across much of the area with
increasing thunderstorm probabilities this afternoon and evening,
especially across eastern NM. Fairly widespread low stratus
across eastern NM will bring MVFR and potentially short-lived IFR
cigs to KLVS, KTCC and possibly KROW through this morning. MVFR
conditions are possible in sct/num thunderstorms today as well,
especially along/east of the central mountain chain.
