.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday/...
Issued at 1021 AM MDT Thu Apr 18 2024
A mix of light freezing drizzle/snow may continue thru 18z but
should see this activity end by early aftn with just a slight
chance of rain/snow showers thru this evening. LIFR ceilings will
still be in place thru 18z but should rise to IFR for the aftn
hours hopefully. Soundings show the IFR ceilings will linger
thru this evening and possibly overnight as well. Winds will
be more easterly this aftn and then go more SE by early this
evening.

.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.

A post-storm system environment remains over western and central
Wyoming today with cooler than normal temperatures with boundary
layer moisture and weak instability. Light showers dissipated
quickly this morning with a few areas continuing this afternoon
over the mountains and foothills areas, but not expected at any
TAF sites. General VFR conditions are expected through the
forecast period, but patchy MVFR conditions are expected through
the afternoon. Thicker clouds around some of the foothills
areas will obscure the mountains into Friday morning. Winds are
generally NW-N-NE today though SW-W-NW breezy winds will return
to southwest WY this afternoon and evening.
Conditions will be quite similar on Friday with light showers
over the northern and north-central mountains and VFR/MVFR
conditions in some of the central WY basins. Winds will be more
east-northeast on Friday with high pressure dropping down over
SE Montana.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

VFR conditions are expected this afternoon through the overnight

southwest Nebraska, impacting KIML terminal. Light rain,
possibly light snow could reduce visibilities and bring a brief

to 25 kts from the northwest, then winds begin to diminish by
this evening, becoming light and variable.

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.

Northerly winds remain gusty across the panhandles following the
passage of a cold front this morning. These winds are already
starting to weaken from N to S this afternoon and will continue
to do so till the gusts cease. This front brought low clouds that
are causing MVFR clouds decks across much of the panhandles this
morning. This cloud deck is dissipating from S to N with
conditions becoming VFR once the low clouds dissolve. VFR
conditions should then persist through the overnight and Friday
morning. Late on Friday a weather system looks to bring active
weather back to the panhandles with rain showers and even
thunderstorms. This active weather is likely to impact all the TAF
sites so stay tuned for future forecasts.

A backdoor cold front surging south thru eastern NM this morning
will bring a brief period of strong wind gusts of 30 to 45 kt in
the area between KCAO, KTCC, and KCVN. Winds were strong enough
around KCAO to warrant a Wind Advisory thru 15Z. MVFR low stratus
has developed in the wake of the front over northeast NM but it
will struggle to progress much farther southward today. The rest
of central and western NM will see breezy southwest winds this
afternoon with increasing cirrus from west to east. The backdoor
cold front over eastern NM will shift west to the central mt chain
this evening then push thru gaps into the RGV. Gusts of 20 to 30
kt are likely at KSAF and KABQ. A much larger area of MVFR low
stratus will develop over east-central and northeast NM tonight.
