.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday/...
Issued at 524 PM MDT Wed Apr 24 2024
VFR conditions should prevail through the TAF period. A broad
Denver cyclone has been observed again this afternoon with the
main boundary/wind shift located between BJC and DEN. Current
expectation is for this to remain fairly steady-state through the
next couple of hours, and then gradually weaken later this evening
as drainage flow establishes.
Next forecast challenge comes early Thursday as models hint at
some potential for a brief period of fog or very low stratus
tomorrow at DEN. BUFKIT profiles would favor fog, but the
majority of guidance keeps this just north/northeast of the field
in southern Weld county.
Finally, there`s still some uncertainty in the winds and overall
convective/shower potential Thursday afternoon, with DEN
reasonably close to the dryline. Will need to re-evaluate with
tonight/tomorrow AM hi-res guidance to get a better feel, but a
broad period of VCTS/VCSH is likely. Eventually may see some lower
cigs develop after 00z as well.

Expect mostly VFR conditions across the region through the TAF
period. The exception will be MVFR ceilings possible with
showers after 18Z over the mountain TAF sites. Ceilings below
ILS breakpoints are possible at KASE, KEGE and KRIL after 21Z.
Gusty west to southwest winds will drop off to light terrain
driven winds over the next few hours. Look for isolated showers
developing over the higher terrain of eastern Utah after about
10Z, spreading into Western Colorado after 18Z. Showers will
become scattered to widespread through the afternoon with a
isolated to scattered thunderstorms over the mountains.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Northwest winds will prevail through around
04Z when winds transition to southeast. Light southeast winds will
prevail overnight, but there is a low chance that outflow winds
from showers to the northwest could switch winds to northwest for
several hours any time from roughly 06-09Z. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are likely from 18Z into the evening.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Isolated showers in
southwest Wyoming and northwest Utah will diminish into the
evening. Outflow winds from showers in northwest Utah could
enhance northwest flow through roughly 09Z throughout northern
Utah. Gusty southwest winds will diminish into the evening
throughout southern Utah. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
likely for southwest Wyoming and most of Utah from 18Z into the
evening.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
Terminals remain VFR through the forecast period, although ceilings
will lower steadily through the day Thursday. Convection across
mainly southwest Wyoming wanes between 01Z-03Z/Thursday. Impacts
would be brief and generally related to gusty and erratic outflow
wind. Shortwave and associated moisture reaches KJAC 12Z-
16Z/Thursday with -SHRA beginning by 18Z. It does appear VFR will
prevail at KJAC as ceilings drop to around BKN040-050. Cold front
pushes across the southwest terminals Thursday mid-afternoon with
scattered showers and gusty northwest wind to follow. Mountain tops
occasionally obscured after 09Z/Thursday.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
VFR to prevail at all terminals through the forecast period.
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over central and
southern Wyoming persist until around 02Z/Thursday, although
isolated showers linger through 06Z/Thursday east of KRIW to KCPR.
Gusty outflow wind around 30kts would be the primary hazard with
convection. Surface cold front pushes through KCOD and KWRL Thursday
morning, surging into the central terminals by mid-afternoon.
Favorable dynamics for widespread showers appear to come together
just beyond this forecast period. Northerly wind shift and VCSH are
the main concerns at this range. Mountain tops occasionally obscured
after 21Z/Thursday.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 540 PM MDT Wed Apr 24 2024
The main aviation concerns with this package are ongoing shower
and thunderstorm activity, followed by low CIGs/fog tonight into
Thursday morning for some High Plains terminals, and then the
next round of showers and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to move across the
area this evening, though activity is beginning to show signs of
weakening. KSNY and KLAR will see thunderstorms close by in the
next hour. After that, thunder is expected to become more
isolated but can`t be ruled out through the end of activity
around 06z. The most likely impact of this activity is gusty
and/or erratic winds. Gusty SSE winds over the High Plains will
continue through the evening, before waning after midnight.
Increased low-level moisture will lead to a deck of low clouds
creeping in from the south. This is expected to produce a period
of MVFR to LIFR conditions at KCYS, KSNY, KBFF, and KAIA. The
KCYS terminal may be right on the edge of the cloud deck, but
also has the potential to see dense fog if inside the fog area.
This should manifest as low CIGs for Nebraska terminals, though
some fog is still possible at KSNY. This should break up between
15z and 18z Thursday. Then, the next round of showers and
thunderstorms will begin to develop after about 21z Thursday
with lightning, brief downpours, gusty winds, and hail possible.

Breezy conditions will continue into the evening hours. The main
concern, especially for the first portion of this TAF period
will be stratus and patchy fog as moisture advects into the
area. Currently, thinking stratus will be the main aviation
concern as fog may be patchy in coverage as wind may lead into
the "dissolving" of fog so will utilize VCFG for this. IFR to
LIFR appears to be likely at each terminal. Some nocturnal
convection may impact KMCK tonight around 06Z so will use VCTS
until confidence increases in terminal being affected. Thursday
afternoon may see some storms, perhaps severe during the
afternoon hours with all hazards on the table. Exact timing due
to initation issues exists currently so remain aware for
updates.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 700 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024
Aviation weather conditions will deteriorate this evening with
widespread IFR/LIFR conditions developing particularly in the
09-15Z time frame...later up north toward HYS and earlier down
south toward LBL terminal as the warm front lifts north. The
forecast at HYS terminal is particularly challenging in that a
large cluster of thunderstorms will develop overnight near or
just east of HYS, which will likely spread an outflow boundary
south across HYS some time in the 09-13Z time frame. This
thunderstorm outflow boundary will likely result in an easterly
wind (if not slightly northeasterly) and may reach as far as DDC
mid-morning, however we will keep winds at DDC out of the
south-southeast Thursday morning. HYS will likely remain in the
low stratus and IFR/LIFR flight category much of the day
Thursday.

Issued at 647 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024
For the 00Z TAFs, expect the return of MVFR to IFR cigs along with
some BR to the terminal sites this evening and tonight. Conditions
should improve from west to east Thursday morning. South to
southwest winds will also increase and become gusty around mid to
late Thursday morning, then persist throughout the afternoon hours.
In addition, it appears the main threat for thunderstorms during
this forecast cycle may remain east of the terminal sites at this
time.

Issued at 537 PM MDT Wed Apr 24 2024
A dry slot approaching from the west will force the high cloud
deck currently over the region eastward into TX. Winds aloft will
strengthen with this dry slot and lead to greater coverage of
mountain waves and turbulence overnight. A weak surface boundary
draped over far eastern NM late today will allow IFR low cigs to
redevelop along the TX/NM border overnight. Confidence on any low
cigs at KTCC is low so there is no mention in the 00Z TAF, but
satellite and obs will be monitored for updates. The main impact
to aviation will occur Thursday with widespread strong winds and
BLDU. Wind gusts of 35 to 50 kt will be common with the strongest
gusts focused over eastern NM. BLDU may lead to IFR cigs/vsbys
around KROW and KCVS aft 19Z. An Airport Weather Warning for
strong winds is very likely at KABQ Thursday afternoon.
