.AVIATION...Wednesday 24/18Z through Thursday 25/18Z...VFR
conditions will prevail through much of the TAF period, outside of
MVFR conditions near KPAN due to FU/HZ. Similarly, isolated
-SHRA/TSRA looks to increase west to east after 15Z, which could
cause brief lower ceilings and visibilities. Look for S-SW winds
10-20 kts, gusting up to 35 kts this afternoon, becoming 10 kts
or less overnight.
OUTLOOK...Thursday 25/18Z through Saturday 27/18Z...Isolated
SHRA/TSRA will continue through 00Z Thursday, with SW winds 15-25
kts gusting up 40 kts. More showers look to return by 18Z friday
and increase NW to SE through the end of the TAF period. Gusty SW
winds expected Friday afternoon too.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions are expected to prevail through
the valid TAF period. Winds will remain out of the south through
much of the day, switching to a north flow around 00Z/6PM. There is
a 30-40% chance that winds remain out of the south through the day.
Rest of Utah and Southwest Wyoming...VFR conditions are expected to
prevail across Utah and southwest Wyoming through the TAF period.
Mid-level cloud cover will be limited to northern Utah and southwest
Wyoming late this morning and afternoon, with increasing potential
for showers across this same area through the late evening and
overnight hours. Winds across much of the area will be out of a
southwesterly direction, with peak gusts approaching 20 kts in
northern Utah/ southwest Wyoming, and 30 kts in southern Utah.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 1130 AM MDT Wed Apr 24 2024
VFR conditions through the period with mainly light winds until a
weak shortwave passes through the area, increasing winds and
precipitation chances. As convection begins to develop through the
afternoon, high clouds will continue moving into the region. The
convection is expected to remain mostly high-based, with gusty and
erratic winds being the primary concern. While overall chances
for a shower or thunderstorm are low, the best chances are at
KPNA, KBPI, and KRKS this afternoon, and potentially KLND later
this afternoon into evening. Precipitation chances taper off
between 00Z and 03Z.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

VFR conditions prevail through at least 06Z/Thursday. Convection is
beginning over the higher terrain and tracking east-northeast at
midday, a trend that will continue through the afternoon. Scattered
showers and a few thunderstorms appear most likely at KLAR and KCYS
during the mid-afternoon before reaching the Nebraska Panhandle
between 23Z-01Z. There could be brief MVFR with the strongest cells,
but otherwise VFR prevails. Return flow on the backside of surface
high pressure in the Plains keeps gusty southerly surface winds of
15-30kts across the Panhandle terminals through much of Wednesday
evening. These speeds decrease around 06Z/Thursday and low-level
moisture begins to creep north. A deck of IFR/MVFR low clouds and
fog reach KSNY around 08Z/Thursday and KAIA around 11Z. Have hinted
at the brief potential for lower clouds at KBFF, but KCDR appears to
avoid this deck. Clouds retreat toward the end of the period with
VFR conditions returning.

Both KGLD and KMCK will see VFR and windy conditions prevail
until around midnight. Winds will slowly let up then stratus
and fog will begin moving in. Model guidance is still a little
murky regarding how long the stratus will linger and how dense
the fog will be, however impacts to flight categories are
expected. Isolated to scattered showers or thunderstorms are
possible to form tonight, mainly between 3-12Z. Strong storms
are possible tomorrow afternoon into the overnight hours.

Cloud ceilings over the next 24 hours will vary across southwest
Kansas. VFR flight categories should be across the area through
at least 00Z. Lower clouds and possibly some thunderstorms will
develop after 06Z with the highest probability of storms for DDC
and HYS. Expect cloud ceilings to fall to IFR to LIFR between
06-14Z. After 14Z drier air will move in from the southwest and
should erode the clouds for GCK and LBL to VFR flight category
and around 17Z for DDC. HYS should stay in IFR to LIFR flight
category through 18Z. Winds will also start to increase after
14Z as we will see winds at 15-25 kts sustained with gusts
approaching 30 kts.

IFR to MVFR ceilings are being observed currently at all TAF
sites. Ceilings will improve some at KAMA this afternoon but
return to MVFR tonight. KDHT will improve this afternoon to VFR
and remain VFR through this forecast period. KGUY may briefly
return to VFR this evening but drop into MVFR soon afterward. IFR
ceilings are possible at KGUY tonight, but confidence is too low
to include at this time.
