Westerly winds will continue until a weak cold front pushes
through around 11-12Z. Winds will turn to the northeast after the
front with potential for brief gusts to 20 knots. Winds will
likely become east to southeast by 18z and then more south to
southeast later in the day at 10 to 20 knots. The concern for the
terminals is in the afternoon when elevated showers and weak
storms may produce gusty winds. The dry airmass will lead to the
potential for gusts up to 40 knots if a storm were to go directly
overhead. Visibilities and ceilings should stay in the VFR
category.

VFR conditions are expected at KALS, KCOS, and KPUB through 24
hours. Some scattered storms will be possible near KCOS and KPUB
this afternoon after about 20Z and lasting into this evening.
Confidence is too low at this time to include precipitation at
either site, but showers will be passing through the vicinity.
At this time, KCOS will see a higher chance of nearby showers
and thunderstorms than KPUB. Nearby showers will lower cloud
ceilings and could send out some gusty outflow. If a shower does
manage to move over a terminal, gusty winds and rain showers
would be the main concerns.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Northwest winds are forecast through this
evening before shifting out of the southeast overnight. A light
northwest wind can be expected once again early tomorrow
afternoon. VFR conditions will prevail.
.Rest of Utah and Southwest Wyoming...VFR conditions are forecast
throughout the period across the region. Isolated rain showers
are forecast for tomorrow afternoon, mainly across any central
Utah terminals. Areas of gusty winds are noted this afternoon
which will decrease during the evening and are forecast to be
light overnight. There is, however, a chance for stronger winds
after midnight at southern Utah terminals as indicated by the RAP
and HRRR model solutions. Gusts around 30 knots are possible if
these solutions come to fruition.

For KGLD & KMCK... VFR conditions are forecast through the
period. LLWS has been observed and will continue through the
night. Around 08-09Z, a wind shift to out of the northwest is
still expected and winds will pick up a bit. Winds will remain
elevated around 15kts with gusts around 27kts until the late
afternoon hours. The last thing of note is that some storms are
possible around the 02-06Z time frame. Currently chances are
30% or less so just have VCTS at KGLD where storms are more
possible (but could still miss the terminal to the south).

Southerly winds continue to stay relatively light at the surface
with no cloud cover expected during the overnight. Winds will look
to shift back to a more northerly direction during the late
morning thanks to a surface low moving through the Panhandles.
Otherwise, VFR conditions should hold at all three terminals for
the period.
