.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday/...
Issued at 1141 PM MDT Thu May 2 2024
VFR conditions continue for the TAF period. Weak rain showers will
stay east of all terminals keeping southeast flow at all sites.
Winds increase between 14-17kts and shift southeasterly by mid
afternoon. Gusts up to 22-28kts could occur. It is possible just
before the front arrives, scattered showers and storms develop
northeast of all terminals. Outflow from these showers could lead
to stronger wind gusts up to 30-35kts and variable wind direction.
A cold front should arrive sometime between 23-01Z thus increasing
wind briefly between 20-24kts. By 03-05Z, winds will decrease but
struggle to turn back into drainage. Expect northeasterly flow
late Friday night through Saturday morning.

Issued at 1102 PM MDT Thu May 2 2024
KCOS and KPUB: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours.
Winds will lessen overnight with relatively clear skies. Winds will
start to increase, with a mostly southerly component, through
tomorrow afternoon in response to a developing lee cyclone. Winds
will quickly shift to become more northerly during late afternoon to
early evening as the lee cyclone treks eastward and pulls a decently
strong cold front southward, with winds then remaining northerly and
gusty through the end of this TAF period. Otherwise, dry conditions
with afternoon clouds are expected.
KALS: VFR conditions are expected over the next 24 hours. Winds will
remain light overnight, with winds quickly becoming gusty tomorrow
morning and remaining gusty through much of the day. Winds will
start to lessen during the evening hours as diurnal mixing lessens.
Otherwise, dry conditions with afternoon clouds are expected.

VFR should hold over the next 24 hours though cigs will be
lowering up north in the afternoon as the next system works
through. KHDN should see a passing shower with an outside chance
of MVFR conditions by mid afternoon but confidence low at this

most areas by late morning as well.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion

.AVIATION...KSLC...Predominantly VFR conditions will continue
tonight into tomorrow. A cold front will bring isolated to scattered
rain showers from roughly 08-13Z, along with ceilings below 6kft AGL
and a brief burst of northerly winds 10-15 kts. VFR conditions could
lower into MVFR range with rain showers, with a 10% chance of
vicinity lightning. Thereafter, expect clearing skies. Generally
north winds are expected throughout the period, especially after the
cold front passage.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...A weak cold front will push
as far south as central Utah overnight, bringing lower ceilings
along with isolated to scattered rain showers from roughly 03-15Z,
especially along and east of I-15. VFR conditions could lower into
MVFR range with rain showers. A few mountain showers may persist
tomorrow north of I-80, with clearing elsewhere. Most locations will
see southwest winds today switch to northerly winds with the front.

A weather system will pass through the Cowboy State tonight into
tomorrow. Snow is overspreading western portions of the state this
evening and this will continue moving eastward tonight into Friday
morning. Prevailing -SN and MVFR/IFR conditions tonight into early
morning for KJAC/KBPI/KPNA. Snow banding appears likely (80%), so
brief reductions to LIFR VIS possible at times, but confidence
remains low (30%) on timing and location of these bands as they move
through. A shorter period of -SN is expected at KRKS from about 10Z-
14Z/Fri. It will be quite breezy at KRKS Friday morning/afternoon
ahead of a weak cold front. A shift in wind is expected from
westerly to northeasterly early Friday evening at KRKS.
The northern edge of the -SN will be very close to KCOD early Friday
morning, so have a TEMPO for MVFR conditions due to -SN and low
clouds. For central terminals (KRIW/KLND/KCPR) -SN will begin later
tonight and persist through Friday morning. Northeasterly upslope
flow will drop CIGS to IFR at KLND/KRIW (possibly KCPR 50%) early
Friday morning, with improvement to VFR conditions Friday afternoon
as snow ends and clouds scatter out. Mountain obscuration will
become widespread tonight through Friday morning, but improvement
will occur Friday afternoon.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

VFR prevails over the next 6-12 hours for the majority of south
east Wyoming and the western Nebraska Panhandle with BKN to OVC
cloud coverage between 8k and 12k feet AGL. Ceilings are likely
to gradually lower overnight, falling to between 3k and 6k feet
AGL for most terminals on Friday morning, first impacting those
areas mainly along and west of the Laramie Range in the morning
before spreading onto the plains during the afternoon. Isolated
to widely scattered rain and/or snow showers should become more
widespread with time, with potential for MVFR/IFR conditions at
some terminals impacted by heavier bands. A broader area of low
stratus may impact KCDR/KAIA during the mid to late morning and
early afternoon, with IFR ceilings possible.

VFR will continue through midday Friday for western and north
central Nebraska terminals, then aviation weather concerns
arise. Clouds thicken and ceilings lower throughout the day as a
storm system approaches the area. Rain showers begin to
overspread northern terminals (VTN) by late morning, then a line
of thunderstorms will likely cross the area late afternoon or
early evening with additional rain showers to follow. A
boundary will separate strong southerly winds gusting 30kts at
southern terminals (LBF) from relatively lighter east/northeast
flow for northern terminals (VTN). Winds should flip to
north/northwesterly behind the storms around sunset.

KGLD...VFR conditions are expected through about 01z. A
southeast wind under 10kts at taf issuance will veer to the
south at similar speeds by 12z. From 13z-00z, southerly winds
gusting up to 40kts are expected. After 01z, sub VFR cigs and
vis are anticipated as showers and thunderstorms move through,
associated with a cold front. Northerly winds gusting up to
40kts or so are expected both due to the strong 3 hour pressure
rises behind the front and from the expected convection. Gusts
could be higher.
KMCK...VFR conditions are expected through about 01z. A light
and variable wind is expected from taf issuance through 13z.
From 14z-00z, southerly winds gusting up to 35kts are expected.
After 01z, winds shift to the north, gusting up to 40kts as a
cold front and strong 3 hour pressure rises move through. Sub
VFR cigs and vis are anticipated due to showers and
thunderstorms moving through.

Winds will gradually veer from the east/northeast at the onset
of this TAF period...to a southeasterly direction by daybreak.
By mid morning, most terminals will be in a south-southeast wind
at around 15 knots sustained, if not a touch stronger. With the
exception of LBL, terminals will be VFR flight category. LBL is
forecast to see MVFR flight category due to BKN-OVC stratus in
the 2000-3000 foot layer. The probabilities of MVFR flight
category farther north are too low (less than 50% chance of
occurrence) to include in this TAF.

IFR and MVFR cigs will continue to spread northwest to cover all
of the TAF sites overnight. These low cigs will dissipate at DHT
and GUY around mid day, but may take until later in the afternoon
to clear at AMA. Showers and thunderstorms will be isolated
through this TAF cycle, so have not mentioned them in this
forecast. East to southeast winds will be common through this
forecast at 10 to 15 knots.

Low level moisture will surge westward to the east slopes of the
central mountain chain for the remainder of tonight resulting in
areas of low clouds with MVFR and localized IFR conditions across
northeast and east central areas. The low clouds will dissipate
from the west on Friday morning clearing most places by mid day,
but likely lingering near the NM border with TX and OK into the
late morning. Friday afternoon, scattered to isolated showers and
thunderstorms are forecast to spread across the eastern plains and
as far west as the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Cells will move
toward the east and northeast at speeds around 20-25 kt. A moist
backdoor front is then forecast to dive south and southwestward
through the eastern plains Friday night causing the chance for
showers and thunderstorms to linger, especially along NM`s eastern
border. Areas of low clouds will probably also return to the
eastern plains late Friday night. The front is forecast to push
through gaps in the central mountain chain with a gusty east wind
in the KSAF and KABQ areas perhaps as early as the predawn hours
Saturday morning, but more likely just after sunrise.
