.AVIATION...KSLC...Light, southeasterly winds will continue through
the morning, becoming light and variable at times. Winds will likely
transition to northwesterly around 17-18z. There is a low chance of
showers developing after 20z, mainly across higher terrain. VFR
conditions will prevail, with a very low chance of MVFR VIS if a
rogue heavier shower makes it over the terminal.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Nocturnal showers across
northern Utah and southwest Wyoming will continue to diminish
through the overnight hours with largely light and terrain-driven
winds outside of any showers. Isolated showers and thunderstorms may
develop again Friday afternoon, likely limited to higher terrain
(and the UT-NV border after 22z). MVFR VIS will be possible with any
heavier shower or thunderstorm.

Shower and thunderstorm chances this afternoon and evening across a
majority of the area. Chances range from about 20% to 80%, with
PROB30 and prevailing rain shower/storm groups in the TAFs. Rain
chances will be on a decreasing trend between after 00z. ANy shower
or storm could bring brief category drops to MVFR due to heavy rain
and lower clouds/ceilings.
Fog is again possible around KLND and KRIW tonight. Currently low
confidence due to guidance having little consensus. Will have to
reevaluate for the next TAF issuance.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Fog and low stratus are the primary aviation concerns this
morning, with many terminals seeing IFR ceilings overnight. KAIA
is expected to see low clouds and fog move in within the next
hour, while KSNY is expected oscillate between SCT005 and
BKN005. Clouds begin to clear out late morning for much of the
area. Once low clouds clear out, scattered showers and storms
will be the primary aviation concern with gusty and erratic
winds possible around any thunderstorms that develop.

A stratus deck remains across southwest Nebraska this afternoon,
bringing widespread MVFR conditions. North of the stratus deck, VFR
conditions prevail and are expected to prevail throughout the
effective TAF period. The stratus across southwest Nebraska is
expected to lessen this afternoon, bringing a window of VFR
conditions. However, lower ceilings return this evening, bringing a
quick drop back to MVFR then to IFR and LIFR conditions overnight.
Abundant moisture and light winds may allow for the redevelopment of
fog overnight, lasting into the morning hours. Upon fog lifting,
MVFR conditions are expected to persist through the morning.
Additionally, showers and thunderstorms may develop across western
Nebraska this evening, though confidence in showers at KLBF and KVTN
is low at this time.

Stratus is forecast to hold on for the majority of this TAF
period resulting in flight category reductions. Some breaks and
lifting of the ceilings is forecast for KGLD late this afternoon
but should return quickly as the sun sets. Watching for fog
again overnight with the most likely for KMCK; KGLD could see
some but slightly stronger winds may make it be more transient
in nature. Winds are forecast to veer and become more easterly
through the day and finally more southerly by the end of the
period. If clouds can break some this afternoon some sporadic
gusts around 20 knots are possible at each terminal.

BUFR soundings and ensemble ceiling probabilities suggest a
brief clearing trend this afternoon. However, scattered to
broken low clouds (500-2000 ft AGL) are still possible through
early evening. After 00Z Friday ceilings are expected to lower
to 500 ft or less as light east to southeast winds continue
across southwest Kansas, with ensemble chances for these low
ceilings exceeding 60%. Areas of fog are also possible from 02Z
through at least 15Z Friday with visibilities ranging from 1 to
3 miles at times.

Currently there is a low level cloud deck in the northern
panhandles that is impact KGUY with MVFr conditions. This cloud
deck is expected to lift and scatter during the afternoon hours
leading to VFR conditions. KAMA and KDHT remain in VFR conditions
for the afternoon hours. This will shift come this evening when a
weather system pushes across the panhandles. Initially this
system bring rain showers and thunderstorms to the NW panhandles
with a very low chance of impacting KDHT and KGUY. If this occurs
then these rain showers and thunderstorms will most likely lead to
a reduction in conditions of MVFR to IFR mainly from rain
restricting visibility. As of now the chances of this occurring
are too low to be reflected in the TAFs Even if that doesn`t come
to pass this weather system will bring an overnight low level
cloud deck that will lead to degrading conditions of MVFR and IFR
at all terminals that will then persist into the morning hours of
Saturday. There is a low to moderate chance that either drizzle or
mist will occur underneath this low level cloud deck. This could
further add to the reductions in the conditions. Conditions will
be slow to improve for Saturday morning and even if they do
improve remaining mainly MVFR due to the low cloud deck.

VFR conditions prevail and are forecast to persist, with a couple
of exceptions. Short-lived MVFR conditions are possible with
iso/sct showers and storms across eastern NM today, but
probabilities are too low to include in TAFs. A backdoor front
will bring areas of low stratus overnight that will likely impact
both KLVS and KTCC with MVFR cigs. The backdoor front will create
a gusty east canyon wind at KABQ overnight, but with gusts well
below Airport Weather Warning criteria.
