This afternoon`s snow showers have tapered off, but another
round of snow will begin between 06z and 12z this morning. The
only locations currently not likely to see any snow are KVEL,
KCNY, and KDRO. Ceilings at KASE, KEGE, and KRIL will remain
below ILS breakpoints, and other terminals will likely drop
below breakpoints at times as well. KHDN, KASE, KGUC, and KTEX
will see the greatest impacts from this system, as both low
ceilings, snow showers reducing visibility, and strong winds
with gusts up to 25 knots will impact these terminals for
prolonged periods. At these locations, IFR will prevail. Other
locations will see VFR to MVFR conditions, with occasional drops
to IFR possible. Winds will be westerly, with gusts up to 25
knots expected mainly after 12z. LLWS will be a concern at most
terminals.

only locations currently not likely to see any snow are KVEL,
KCNY, and KDRO. Ceilings at KASE, KEGE, and KRIL will remain
below ILS breakpoints, and other terminals will likely drop
below breakpoints at times as well. KHDN, KASE, KGUC, and KTEX
will see the greatest impacts from this system, as both low
ceilings, snow showers reducing visibility, and strong winds
with gusts up to 25 knots will impact these terminals for
prolonged periods. At these locations, IFR will prevail. Other
locations will see VFR to MVFR conditions, with occasional drops
to IFR possible. Winds will be westerly, with gusts up to 25
knots expected mainly after 12z. LLWS will be a concern at most
terminals.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion
Issued at 2311 UTC Friday, December 5, 2025
.AVIATION...KSLC...Brief VFR conditions will transition to MVFR with
intermittent IFR conditions this evening and overnight for the KSLC
terminal. CIGs will lower this evening <3k feet as moisture
increases and rain moves into the terminal with snow levels
remaining 1-2k feet AGL. Expect mountain obscuration to persist.
Conditions begin drying early Saturday morning. Winds will remain
light and primarily out of the south.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...The northern airspace will
remain primarily in MVFR/IFR conditions as moisture pushes in this
afternoon/evening with valley rain and mountain snow along with
mountain obscuration. Snow levels will gradually rise from 5k feet
to 7k feet through the evening. Winds will be light and variable
across most terminals with stronger winds developing overnight
across the far northeastern airspace. Southern airspace will remain
dry with VFR conditions prevailing.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
A winter storm will continue to impact terminals across western
Wyoming. At KJAC, improvements have been noted, however, there are
chances for IFR conditions to be periodic through around 08Z before
more persistent improvement. MVFR with lingering snow looks to
continue into the afternoon, possibly lingering through the end of
the period (30% chance), but the more likely case is for VFR
conditions to return by mid Saturday afternoon. KBPI and KPNA will
also continue to see periods of MVFR/IFR through around 13Z Saturday.
KRKS is expected to continue to see a period of snow and blowing
snow tonight which could lead to a stretch of MVFR to IFR
visibilities through sunrise. All terminals will see an accompanying
gusty wind, especially at KRKS which will see gusts to 40 knots.
Wind will gradually decrease through Saturday afternoon.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Some snow will make it east of the Divide, leading to occasional
impacts at or near terminals with the best chances at KCOD, KCPR,
and KWRL (20 to 30%). Wind will be the primary aviation concern east
of the Divide as most of the snow stays to the west. As the trough
moves through, winds will increase late morning, with northwest
winds gusting 20 to 30 kts through most of the afternoon. This will
be most notable at KRIW which will see gusts over 40 knots during
the afternoon. Winds decrease Saturday late afternoon towards
sunset.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1040 PM MST Fri Dec 5 2025
A strong jet stream and potent Pacific upper level disturbance will
push southeast over the area for the rest of tonight and into
Saturday. Very windy conditions are expected for the southeast
Wyoming terminals with breezy conditions across western Nebraska.
Periods of light to moderate snow are expected at most terminals
until 18z Saturday.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: Main concern over the next 6 to 9 hours will
be coverage and intensity of snow bands moving southeast across the
area through Saturday morning. High res guidance showing some pretty
intense bands of snow, even though they won`t last long, impacting
areas near KRWL, KLAR, and KCYS. However, westerly downslope winds
will be increasing each hour, which may limit impacts for area
terminals. Tricky forecast for snow, but decided to add some mention
of snow and MVFR conditions...and include potential timing windows
for all terminals, including western Nebraska. LIFR VIS in locally
heavy snow bands possible, but confidence is less than 10%.
Very windy conditions will begin shortly for KLAR...and eventually
KCYS by 12z. Expect gusts of 40 to 50 knots for all southeast
Wyoming terminals through 21z Saturday, and gusts of 25 to 35 knots
for the western Nebraska terminals. Some LLWS expected before the
onset of the strongest winds early this morning.
