.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday/...
Issued at 535 PM MDT Mon May 6 2024
Not an overly complicated forecast through Tuesday but
operationally there will continue to be impacts via strong west
winds much of the day Tuesday. First, VFR conditions will prevail
through Tuesday. Winds out of 280/290 should finally weaken
through 01 to 02Z at DEN and APA, with winds coming down to 10-15
kts out of the SW after 02Z. From there, they should remain
around 10-15 kts until 15Z. Winds out of 280 increase across the
terminals 20G30KT after 15Z, and should remain that way all the
way until weakening around 03Z Wednesday. There is a low chance
(25%) that winds are 5-7 kt less than we have in the TAFS during
the afternoon, but for the most part the CAMs all have sustained
west winds 20 kts or higher from 15Z Tue - 03Z Wed.
There is an additional thing to mention regarding BJC. There are
several ingredients in place for a short-lived mountain wave to
develop after 03Z. This would keep the winds up at BJC through
about 08Z. For now, have just kept the 28020G30KT going until 08Z
because of the strong chance of a mountain wave keeping the winds
elevated. CAMs actually keep the stronger west winds in the lower
foothills during this time and away from BJC, but we can`t ignore
the favorable ingredients. If the ingredients come together we`d
likely see gusts 40-50 kts late tonight. But after 08 or 09Z those
ingredients weaken significantly, so we are pretty confident
there will be a lull at BJC from 08-15Z tomorrow with winds 10 kts
or less.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 239 PM MDT Mon May 6 2024
VFR conditions are expected to prevail for all TAF sites (KALS,
KCOS, and KPUB) throughout the forecast period. Winds will be
synoptically influenced throughout the entire duration of the
forecast. They will be very strong and gusty through the evening
out of the west to northwest direction at all terminals. These
winds will decouple and weaken going into the late evening
hours, but then return to being very strong and gusty shortly
after sunrise tomorrow morning, towards the end of the forecast
period. There could also be some areas of BLDU at KALS after 17Z
and KPUB after 16Z, which may temporarily reduce VIS down to
IFR criteria. Winds will further increase towards the end of the
forecast period. -Stewey

Gusty winds of 25 to 35 mph continue at this hour but will start
to decrease over the next few hours. Ceilings will persist for
KASE, KEGE, and KGUC but should remain VFR though they will
likely hover around ILS breakpoints from time to time. Another
system rolls through by the early morning hours and snow will
again spread over much of northern Colorado with terrain
obscuration likely through the day. This system will also bring
another round of gusty winds reaching between 40 to 50 mph,
maybe higher at times.

.AVIATION...Tuesday 07/00Z through Wednesday 08/00Z...Expect VFR
conditions through the TAF period. Winds will decrease this
evening, then become quite strong on Tuesday with west winds
gusting 30-40kts. The strongest winds north and east of a KGCN-
KFLG-KSOW line.
OUTLOOK...Wednesday 08/00Z through Friday 10/00Z...VFR conditions
should persist through the outlook period, with seasonal afternoon
winds gusting 15-25kts. There is a risk for MVFR CIGS/VIS conditions
due to smoke from nearby burns.

Issued at 2127 UTC Monday, May 6, 2024
.AVIATION...KSLC...Broken to overcast ceilings in VFR range will
prevail through the evening. West winds will prevail, but
intermittent southeast winds could occur through roughly 01Z when
winds transition to southeast. Scattered rain showers will push in
by around 06Z, dropping ceilings into MVFR range. Winds will
transition to northwest around then, but directions could change
from 06-16Z, largely depending on location of showers. Drier
conditions with gusty northwest winds are likely around 16Z. Gusty
winds will continue through the day, with scattered showers from
19Z into the evening.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Isolated valley rain
showers snow showers in southwest Wyoming will last through the
evening. VFR conditions will prevail, but ceilings and visibility
in MVFR range or lower are likely with snow showers. Scattered
showers will push in by around 06Z and last through much of the
morning. MVFR ceilings are likely for most locations, with MVFR or
lower ceilings and visibility in southwest Wyoming with snow
showers. Drier conditions are likely later in the morning with
gusty west to northwest winds. Winds will stay gusty through the
day with scattered showers by around 19Z. Dry conditions will last
through the day in southern Utah with gusty west to northwest
winds.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 940 PM MDT Mon May 6 2024
West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals
A deepening low pressure system will continue to spin over the
Northern Plains through the TAF period. On the backside of this low
strong northwest flow will persist. Tonight, wind will be relatively
light (sustained 10-15 knots gusting 20-25 knots) compared to Monday
afternoon. Wind will increase by mid-morning across all terminals.
The strongest wind will occur at KRKS where gusts as high as 45
knots will occur Tuesday afternoon.
Tonight should remain dry as the low shifts to the north and east
through the overnight hours. Then, this low will retrograde back
toward WY Tuesday afternoon. Some breaks in cloud cover is expected
Tuesday morning/afternoon, which will give way to convective
showers. The best chance of snow/rain will be at KJAC with
prevailing MVFR conditions by 12Z. Conditions may drop to IFR
briefly if a stronger shower directly impacts the terminal. For now
have PROB30 for snow showers at KPNA/KBPI. Mountain obscuration
continues for the next 24 hours.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals
A deepening low pressure system will continue to spin over the
Northern Plains through the TAF period. On the backside of this low
strong northwest flow will persist. Tonight wind will be relatively
light for KCOD/KWRL/KLND terminals. At KCPR/KRIW wind will remain
strong through the overnight hours into tomorrow. Wind will increase
by mid-morning across all terminals. The strongest wind will occur
at KRIW where gusts as high as 45 knots will occur Tuesday afternoon.
Tonight should remain dry as the low shifts to the north and east
through the overnight hours. Then, this low will retrograde back
toward WY Tuesday afternoon. Some breaks in cloud cover is expected
Tuesday morning/afternoon, which will give way to convective
showers. The best chance of rain/snow will be at KCPR Tuesday
evening. Conditions may drop to MVFR if a shower directly impacts a
terminal, but the chance is too low (20%) at this time for
prevailing rain. Mountain obscuration continues for the next 24
hours.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 537 PM MDT Mon May 6 2024
Primary aviation concern through the TAF period remains strong,
gusty winds. The strongest winds are expected at southeast Wyoming
terminals, with gusts over 50 kts possible at times. Western
Nebraska terminals could see winds occasionally gust over 40 kts.
Some brief MVFR conditions will also be possible this evening due to
low CIGs from rain showers. Cannot rule out visibility drops in snow
showers for terminals west of the Laramie Range. Strong, gusty winds
will continue into the day Tuesday.
