KCOS, KPUB, and KALS: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24
hours. Gusty winds at the start of this TAF period are expected to
lessen as diurnal mixing shuts off for the day, with relatively
light surface winds around and less than 10 knots expected through
the rest of this TAF period. With that said, a period of wind shear
is expected over KCOS and KPUB this evening as surface winds lessen
but winds not too far above ground level remain heightened. Beyond
all of that, high level clouds and dry conditions are expected to
continue.

.AVIATION...Tuesday 18/00Z through Wednesday 19/00Z...For locations
along, west and northwest of the I-17 corridor, areas of -SHRA/SHRA
developing AFT 01Z-03Z this evening, continuing through the period.
Upslope locations and areas where showers are occurring will produce
MVFR/IFR. Winds generally light. For locations generally east of the
I-17 corridor and northeast of the central Mogollon Rim and White
Mountains, expect VFR conditions. Sfc winds S15-25kts for Tuesday
afternoon.
OUTLOOK...Wednesday 19/00Z through Friday 21/00Z...Areas -SHRA/SHRA
as well as -SHSN/SHSN (above 7500 feet) through most of the period.
Upslope locations and areas where showers are occurring will produce
MVFR/IFR. Sfc winds will not impact flight operations.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions prevail at the terminal through
the TAF period. Increasing mid-high level cloud coverage is expected
into Tuesday, though conditions are expected to remain dry overall.
Gusty southerly winds persist through this afternoon, then become
more southeasterly and taper around 23-00z.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions prevail for
most regional terminals, except KEVW where MVFR CIGS linger this
afternoon. These low clouds are expected to scour out overnight,
with mid-high level cloud coverage increasing across the airspace.
Widespread valley rain and mountain snow overspread southwest Utah
late tonight, which is expected to bring mountain obscuration and
potential for MVFR (potentially IFR at times) conditions into
Tuesday for southwest Utah terminals.

Conditions are expected to continue to improve at terminals as the
midlevel low moves farther east into the Great Plains. While there
will be lingering precipitation in the area through around 06Z, the
chance for additional impacts is low and most terminals will prevail
VFR. The exception will be at KJAC, where ceilings will hover
around MVFR through the evening. There is a hint at fog at KJAC,
KBPI, and KPNA tonight, but confidence for this remains low.
Otherwise, broken to overcast VFR ceilings will persist across
the area through Tuesday morning before lifting and/or
scattering out around 18Z. A breezy southwest wind will be
observed at KCPR after 15Z Tuesday, with lighter wind expected
elsewhere.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Areas of showers will continue to bring periods of MVFR to IFR
conditions across the region through this evening, but should be
departing overnight. Sites most likely to see precipitation
include KRWL/KBFF/KCDR/KAIA, while other sites have a chance of
a rare passing shower but too low to include in TAFs. Gusty
winds through the nighttime hours with speeds 15-25 knots and
gusts up to 40 knots expected for all WY terminals as well as
KSNY, but by tomorrow morning all sites should see winds
lessened. CIGs start on the mid to low side, producing some of
the aforementioned MVFR to IFR conditions primarily at
KRWL/KBFF/KCDR/KAIA, with clouds lifting overnight as the system
departs and precipitation exits the area. Into tomorrow
afternoon look for mid to high level clouds with winds 10 knots
or less.

Low stratus/fog will continue to expand across much of central
Nebraska this evening. This should include impacts at VTN where
IFR conditions are likely and LIFR are possible. Much drier air
should wrap in from the southwest at LBF and though MVFR CIGs
appear likely, little to no fog is expected. Conditions will
improve slightly by the afternoon Tuesday but low stratus should
continue to hamper aviation operations through the end of the
valid period.

Batches of lower clouds (3500-5000ft above ground level) are still
lingering across portions of western to northwestern New Mexico
early this evening, but currently cloud bases are high enough to
keep conditions in the VFR category. There is a low probability
(10-30% chance) that scattered areas in western New Mexico will
observe a slight lowering of these ceilings just beneath MVFR
status (ceilings less than 3000 ft) through the early morning
Tuesday, but confidence was not high enough to include this in the
TAFs (especially at KGUP). Otherwise, high, fair weather cirrus
clouds will thicken overnight, gradually lowering with altostratus
(bases around 15,000ft) into the daytime Tuesday. Light to
moderate breezes (generally 5-15 kt) will prevail through Tuesday.
