.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday/...
Issued at 614 PM MDT Tue May 7 2024
VFR conditions through Wednesday. Any showers that temporarily
lowered CIGs to close to MVFR have evaporated and no further
shower activity is expected at the terminals. That of course
leaves the wind. There is still some uncertainty about when the
strong west winds will weaken this evening. Confidence in
increasing that after 01Z, west wind gusts over 20 kts are
unlikely, though may occur at BJC through 02Z. The other useful
devleopment is that winds are more WNW than W this evening. After
01 or 02Z, winds should be 15 kts or less at the terminals, and
mostly out of the west. Winds should back to SW at around 10 kts
after 08-09Z.
On Wedneday, winds will be much weaker than the previous 2 days,
and should also be more out of the WNW and even north, both of which
are good news for DEN. For now, winds should increase by 15Z, but
gusts should remain under 25 kts (other than BJC), and weak
anitcycloning of the NW flow may actually result in north winds
around 10 kts at DEN and APA by 20Z. BJC will probably stay out of
280 or 290 and may gust 25-30 kts through the middle of the
afternoon before the pressure gradient relaxes across Colorado,
reducing winds for everyone.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 553 PM MDT Tue May 7 2024
A frontal boundary draped across the region, along with a strong
jet stream is producing mountain snow, gusty winds, and
scattered showers across much of the high country here on the
West Slope. These conditions are expected to persist into
midnight, when the frontal boundary sags southward, along with
the jet. Light orographic snow showers will continue over the
Divide during the overnight hours, but impacts will be much more
minimal absent the front`s presence. Terminals will continue to
see strong winds and intermittent ILS ceiling conditions under
shower activity this evening. A few strong outflows will impact
airfields in proximity to thunderstorms and showers with a few
gusts reaching the 40-50 mph mark. Conditions improve by
daybreak and most terminals will close out this TAF period under
VFR conditions.

A frontal boundary draped across the region, along with a strong
jet stream is producing mountain snow, gusty winds, and
scattered showers across much of the high country here on the
West Slope. These conditions are expected to persist into
midnight, when the frontal boundary sags southward, along with
the jet. Light orographic snow showers will continue over the
Divide during the overnight hours, but impacts will be much more
minimal absent the front`s presence. Terminals will continue to
see strong winds and intermittent ILS ceiling conditions under
shower activity this evening. A few strong outflows will impact
airfields in proximity to thunderstorms and showers with a few
gusts reaching the 40-50 mph mark. Conditions improve by
daybreak and most terminals will close out this TAF period under
VFR conditions.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion
Issued at 2140 UTC Tuesday, May 7, 2024
.AVIATION...KSLC...Scattered rain showers will continue through
roughly 01z, with gusty and erratic winds and lowered CIGs to 4000
ft AGL possible near these showers. There is also a 25% chance
for thunder over KSLC, as well as graupel. Gusty west-
northwesterly winds as high as 40kts will continue until roughly
01-02z. Overnight (~04-12z), a band of lake-effect showers is
possible, mainly to the west of KSLC. However, there is still a
30% chance that this band directly impacts the terminal, bringing
a transition to snow and low (15%) chance for IFR conditions.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Scattered showers will
continue mainly north of KDTA through roughly 03z. These showers
will be capable of producing gusty and erratic outflow winds and
MVFR-IFR conditions (especially at sites above ~6000ft ASL that
will receive snow). Lake-effect showers are possible over the
western Salt Lake Valley overnight, potentially impacting KU42.
Gusty northwesterly winds will likely decrease after sunset across
all but far southern UT (south of KMLF). A weak front pushing
through southern UT later this evening will produce a transition
to gusty northerly to northeasterly winds overnight. KSGU may
waver between gusty northeasterly winds and light westerly winds
overnight (40% chance of the lighter winds). There is also a 30%
chance that KENV could see gusts exceeding 25kts overnight.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals.
Occasionally MVFR snow takes a brief lull in the vicinity of KJAC
this evening with VFR returning for a short spell. Snow showers
return in northerly flow aloft as a shortwave spins south across the
state late tonight and Wednesday. MVFR conditions prevail at KJAC
after 08Z with occasional IFR possible until 13Z/Wednesday. Snow
lingers into the afternoon, but should be on the decrease. Other
than scattered brief MVFR snow showers early this evening, the
remaining terminals are VFR through 00Z/Thursday. KPNA could see
some light snow late in the period. Breezy westerly wind persists
overnight with an increase in speeds around 15Z-16Z/Wednesday.
Mountain tops frequently obscured above 10K feet MSL through the
period.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals.
Gusty west-northwest surface wind of 25-40kts continues until around
sunset, but 15-25kt winds continue for many locales through Tuesday
evening. Shortwave energy within a broad trough pinwheels south
across the region late tonight and Wednesday. VFR conditions
gradually give way to lowering ceilings and a better chance of rain
and snow showers over the Bighorn Basin after 08Z/Wednesday. MVFR or
low-end VFR to develop at KCOD and KWRL between 12Z-15Z/Wednesday,
while other terminals remain VFR through 16Z/Wednesday. Favorable
northerly surface and mid-level flow leads to increasing
precipitation chance and lowering ceiling across the central
terminals after 18Z/Wednesday. Some MVFR possible, mainly at KCPR
and KLND, Wednesday afternoon. Mountain tops obscured after
09Z/Wednesday.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for

The main closed upper level low over North Dakota will slowly
shift south into the northern Nebraska during the next 24hrs.
This will result in more gusty winds tonight across all TAF
sites. These winds will shift more to the northwest early late
Wednesday morning into Wednesday afternoon along with a weak
frontal boundary. This frontal boundary will bring some
afternoon cloud cover around 4-6kft and a few light rain
showers.

Mostly quiet aviation conditions are expected over the next day.
Stronger winds present this afternoon will begin to lessen during
the evening. Any isolated showers across northern Nebraska will also
dissipate after sunset. Another round of afternoon showers are
possible again on Wednesday, but confidence remains too low to put
it in the prevailing forecast at this time.
