.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 242 PM MDT Thu Apr 18 2024
Active pattern with low ceilings, periodic drizzle or light rain,
with eventually snow returning to the TAF sites at the every end of
the forecast period Friday evening.
Latest radar imagery depicting continued drizzle and light rain
across all of the terminals, with observational data indicating any
snow remaining confined to the higher terrain. While coverage of the
drizzle or light rain should decrease this evening, still think it
will be occasionally observed for much of the night. Some guidance
showing a possibility for a small window of snow very late tonight
into early Friday morning, but think there is a very low chance of
this occurring at this time. Vis under this precip should be 6 miles
or more but by late evening, will see vis begin to fall, with vis 3-
5sm appearing likely under additional BR development later tonight
into Friday morning. The improvement to higher end MVFR ceilings
this afternoon should be the last of any improvement, as a slow
downward trend is likely once again tonight into Friday morning.
While can`t completely rule out a return to IFR ceilings, think a
more likely solution at this point is MVFR ceilings in the 1kft to
2kft range. A general light easterly wind component looks to remain
in place into this evening, however, more variable winds are
possible later tonight before shifting to the north Friday morning.
Drizzle or rain chances look low Friday morning at this point, but
if lower ceilings are in place than currently forecast, would not be
surprised to see continued development. A slow improving trend with
ceilings and vis is likely through early to mid afternoon Friday, as
northerly winds steadily increase. Rain will return to the terminals
by mid to late afternoon and will assist with lowering ceilings
during that time, with this trend continuing into the evening as
snow becomes more likely.

the boundary, southern Utah will maintain southwesterly winds
while north of the boundary expect mainly northerly component
winds to dominate. On Friday, a few isolated/scattered showers
will develop along the frontal boundary over central Utah, with
dry conditions north/south.

Cool moist northwest flow continues this evening and overnight after
yesterday`s storm system moved off to the southeast. Conditions are
generally VFR with localized MVFR due to lower ceilings. Some light
showers continue also over the mountains and foothills, but have
very little impact or accumulation. Winds are fairly light for the
rest of the day with some gusts 10-15 kts. There is a small chance
of showers again at KCPR overnight due to the moist NNE flow, so
have added VCSH to that TAF. Conditions Friday will be similar to
Thursday, with NE winds east of the divide, and NE winds pushing
into SW WY. Cool northwest flow will aide boundary layer CU
development for localized MVFR conditions again at times. Light
showers should remain confined to the higher terrain of the
Absarokas, Wind Rivers, and Bighorns Friday afternoon.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Another weather disturbance will slide north from CO overnight.
We will see MVFR and IFR CIGs overnight for KLAR and KCYS
through Friday morning, with low end VFR for the remaining
terminals through the forecast period. Included a brief timeline
of MVFR for KSNY on Friday morning, but confidence is low to
medium on this happening. Wind gusts for KCDR and KAIA of 20-25
knots this evening should dissipate by 2z. KCDR will see
elevated winds pick back up Friday afternoon to 20-25 knots. All
other remaining terminals will see wind of 12 knots or less
through the forecast period.

Winds will become light as surface high pressure builds across
the high plains tonight. Surface low pressure will develop over
the southern Rockies Friday, with surface high pressure over
the northern Rockies. This will result in east to southeast
winds over southwest Kansas. VFR conditions will persist with
any cloud AOA 080.

A moist backdoor front that banked up along the east slopes of the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains today, and still extends southward
from LVS to the Lincoln and Chaves County border, will surge
westward with sunset through gaps in the central mountain chain
producing a gusty east canyon wind in the central valley tonight
into early Friday morning from Santa Fe southward, including
Carrizozo. With low level convergence under an upper level trough
approaching from the west the potential exists for gusts to 35
knots at KABQ, but at this time models generally agree on winds
staying lighter than that. Moist easterly upslope flow on the
eastern plains is forecast to produce areas of MVFR and IFR
conditions in low clouds tonight mainly over northeast and east
central areas. There is a chance that low clouds will produce MVFR
conditions as far south and west as KROW from early to late
morning on Friday, but the chance was too low to include in the
00Z TAF. RH progs suggest a better chance that low clouds will
work their way through gaps in the central mountain chain over
KSAF toward sunrise on Friday. The low clouds should burn off
across central and east by early afternoon on Friday, but the low
level moisture will stay in place with another round of low
clouds likely along the east slopes of the central mountain chain
Friday night. The aforementioned upper trough will then work with
this moisture to produce showers and thunderstorms across the
eastern plains Friday night into Saturday.
