.AVIATION...KSLC...Light and somewhat variable winds expected around
sunrise, with winds gradually becoming more northwesterly late
morning into the afternoon hours. After ~06Z/midnight, guidance
becomes split on if northerly component is maintained or if
southerly drainage flow can develop. With winds becoming light,
would anticipate some amount of variability returning. Skies
expected to remain VFR through the period, with some increasing mid
to high clouds late Thursday into the overnight.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Fairly quiet TAF period
expected at area terminals. Majority of terminals will see wind
magnitudes largely remain fairly light, with directions generally
diurnally normal to a bit variable times. Conditions anticipated to
remain VFR with dry weather and a general mix of mid to high level
clouds.

Expansive MVFR and IFR ceilings are impacting area terminals as
a quick passing frontal boundary leads to widespread rain and
even snow. Coverage will continue to focus along a southwest to
northeast oriented line which will generally split the gap
between VTN and LBF. For now, have limited mention at VTN as
passing showers are likely the only impact will occur prior to
the period starting. Will cover with vicinity mention
thereafter. For LBF, will maintain a short window of -SHRA prior
to dawn Thursday. Can`t completely rule out a snowflake mixing
in but not expecting this to be prevailing for the better part
of an hour to warrant inclusion. Ceilings will improve towards
the afternoon Thursday with afternoon cumulus possible at VTN
but only VFR conditions expected.

MVFR conditions anticipated overnight at both terminals with
ceilings around 1500-3000 ft. Conditions improve again towards
VFR in the morning, beginning around 14Z. A cold front moving
through the area has shifted winds out of the north-northeast,
with gusts approx. 30-40 knots continuing overnight. By
afternoon, the northerly winds will be around 10-15 knots
sustained before becoming light and veering towards the east
during the evening. Continued low confidence in showers
impacting the MCK terminal overnight.

Primarily MVFR cigs in vicinity of all TAF sites are expected to
improve generally after 16-18Z as prevailing low level stratus
behind an advancing cold front begins to lift/scatter out. North
winds around 30 to 45kt through mid-morning are expected to
gradually subside this afternoon while becoming more northeasterly
as a strong cold front pushes farther south into north Texas.
Light easterly winds are forecast this evening as surface high
pressure spreads southeast out of the Northern High Plains into
the Central Plains.

(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1230 AM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024
As of midnight, latest observations to our north were showing the
expected cold frontal passage moving much faster than most model
were anticipating with latest estimates expecting the front at
KGUY within the hour. This front is expected to bring breezy to
gusty northerly winds capable of gust near 35 to 40 mph for at
least a majority of the overnight time frame. Secondary, is that
this front is also creating a low stratus deck behind its passage
that can create a delayed low cloud deck for all terminals. Based
off the observations from the north this deck could drop site
down IFR levels till the late morning. Have adjusted TAFs for a
rough timing of the conditions but a 1 hour window of uncertainly
on either side is present with this timing.

Fast zonal flow over NM will continue to generate turbulence
across the airspace the next 24 hrs. At the surface, a backdoor
cold front surging south into eastern NM overnight will bring
a period of northerly wind gusts of 25 to 35 kt from KRTN to KCAO
and KTCC before sunrise. These winds will become easterly thru
Thursday afternoon and remain gusty across the plains. A small
area of MVFR to lcl IFR cigs may develop over far northeast NM
early this morning in the wake of the front. Central and western
NM will continue to see breezy southwest winds thru Thursday with
thicker cirrus invading from the west. The surface boundary draped
over eastern NM will then make a push to the west Thursday evening
with potential for gap winds developing in the Rio Grande Valley
by late evening. A larger area of MVFR low cigs is also expected
to develop across the plains aft 06Z Thursday night.
