Main concern the next 24 hours will be gusty winds. Of special note,
the winds will likely keep up after sunset tomorrow and could be
quite gusty through tomorrow night. Overall, expect VFR conditions
at all 3 taf sites, KPUB, KALS and KCOS, the next 24 hours. By mid
to late morning, gusty south to southwest winds are expected, with
gusts to 25 to 35 knots during the afternoon time periods.

Mid and high level clouds will continue to increase overnight
and through the day on Sunday out ahead of an approaching cold
front. Ahead of the front, very strong winds will develop out of
the south and southwest by mid-morning and continue through the
afternoon and evening. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 kts with
gusts of 40 to 50 kts will occur. A few showers may develop
across the higher terrain ahead of the front as well, but the
heaviest and most widespread precipitation will push through
along the front mainly after 00Z Sunday evening. As a result,
reductions in ceilings and visibility are likely Sunday night.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion
Issued at 0950 UTC Sunday, May 5, 2024
.AVIATION...KSLC...Active period as a winter-like storm will be in
place through midweek. Strong, gusty S winds to around 40kt will
continue through about 14Z. Incoming cold front will begin to cause
a wind shift to the SW around 14Z and then to the W-NW by 15Z and
finally NW by 18Z with gradually decreasing speeds. Winds off the
surface, mainly above 2kft, remain S-SW until late afternoon,
possibly resulting in some LLWS. By late morning, shower chances
become increasingly likely ahead of cold front, though strong south
flow may initially yield some downsloping off terrain, abating
precip to an extent. Widespread precip will develop after the
frontal passage by early afternoon with MVFR conditions fairly
likely during times of heavier precip, with periods of IFR possible
(with nearly a 20% chance.) Trailing wave will bring an uptick in
precipitation tonight, with temperatures cold enough to allow snow
to mix in at times.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...An anomalous winter-like
system will be in place across the region through early week,
resulting in active TAF period along with persistent periods of
mountain obscuration, especially across northern Utah. Strong
southerly winds will precede a cold front as it marches eastward
across Utah today, exiting into Colorado this evening. Showers ahead
of the front will aid in mixing, with occasional gusts to 50kts
reaching the surface at times. Precipitation chances become further
elevated through the morning and afternoon as cold frontal boundary
moves through. MVFR conditions likely in heavier precip, with IFR
possible at higher elevation terminals where snow may mix in, with
the best chance of this across SW Wyoming. Strongest winds/gusts
will begin to subside following the frontal passage, with directions
largely trending more west to northwesterly. Periods of rain and
snow showers then persist across northern Utah and SW Wyoming into
Monday morning.

Most sites will be VFR through the night, with slowly lowering
cirrus shield overspreading the region. Exception remains KJAC,
which will see shower activity becoming more numerous through
the night. While most of the night should stay VFR, some brief
lowered cigs are possible with passing showers. Sunday will see
numerous showers at KJAC through the day, with isolated thunder
possible in the afternoon. Shower activity will spread into
KPNA/KBPI early afternoon, and to remaining sites late afternoon
to early evening. Most periods will still remain VFR, but lower
cigs will continue through the night, with tempo MVFR cigs
expected.
Other concern remains gusty winds during the day for all except
KJAC. Still expected 25g40kts for all sites west of the divide,
with gusts approaching 60kts at KRKS during the afternoon. Winds
will relax some after 00Z, but will still remain gusty at all
sites through the overnight hours.

southwest Nebraska later this morning as the moisture spreads
northward into the region. MVFR is expected across far
southwest Nebraska from mid morning to mid afternoon before

into the area as the better moisture arrives. The other story
will be gusty south to southeast winds mid-morning onward.

Ceilings have developed lower than anticipated this morning at
LBL where 800 ft ceilings were reported by the ASOS in light
rain. This will likely be the case for about another 4 hours
before the insolation begins to warm the boundary layer. Farther
north, the ceilings should remain MVFR or better before
widespread scattering out of the stratus takes place by late
morning. Winds turn southeast this morning and increase to
around 15-20 knots with higher gusts in the afternoon.

Widespread low clouds with MVFR and IFR conditions will continue
east of the central mountain chain for the remainder of the night
with gradual improvement around mid morning on Sunday. A
persistent southeast wind will probably draw the low clouds into
Santa Fe, too, but confidence in the precise ceiling height in
Santa Fe is only moderate since models aren`t picking up on the
low clouds moving into that location. Confidence is also waning on
the occurrence of 35 KT winds at KABQ, which continue to be
possible for the next couple hours. Doppler radar depicts 35 KT
east winds just off the deck over KABQ, so will keep the ongoing
Airport Weather Warning for 35 KT winds in effect for the Sunport
until 08Z. Otherwise, south and southwest winds will become
strong on Sunday. The flow aloft will strengthen after sunset, so
surface winds are not expected to die down in the evening like
they normally do.
