AVIATION...KSLC
A 20-30% CHANCE OF SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS IS NOTED THROUGH AROUND SUNRISE FRIDAY, BRINGING POTENTIAL
FOR PERIODS OF REDUCED CIGS/VIS. OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES THROUGH THE DAY. GIVEN
SOUTHERLY DRAINAGE FLOW AND A NORTHERLY GRADIENT, WINDS MAY BE A BIT
VARIABLE AT TIMES OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. THEREAFTER, WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO FOLLOW A MORE TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTION PATTERN.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A
DEPARTING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT, THOUGH A LOW
CHANCE (~20-30%) OF SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS IS NOTED AT
TERMINALS DOWNWIND OF THE GREAT SALT LAKE AND UTAH LAKE. THESE
SHOWERS WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF REDUCED CIGS/VIS, THOUGH
OTHERWISE EXPECT GRADUAL CLEARING INTO FRIDAY MORNING WITH MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES AND A RETURN TO VFR CONDS AT AREA TERMINALS THROUGH THE
DAY. NORTHERLY WINDS WILL TEND TO BE FAVORED AT MOST AREA TERMINALS
BEHIND THE FRONT, WITH GUSTY NE DOWN-TERRAIN WINDS PARTICULARLY AT

WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
THE AREA IS NOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT
THURSDAY'S PRECIPITATION. LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED TO COME TO AN END
THIS MORNING, WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AT TERMINALS.
HOWEVER, SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS UNSTABLE
NORTHWEST FLOW SETS IN BEHIND THE TROUGH AXIS. KJAC WILL HAVE THE
BEST CHANCE OF DIRECT TERMINAL IMPACTS, AND AN MVFR PRO30 GROUP IS
INCLUDED THERE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. KBPI, KPNA, AND KRKS WILL HAVE
LESSER CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION IMPACTS THOUGH WILL SEE AN INCREASED
WIND WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
THE AREA IS NOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT
THURSDAY'S PRECIPITATION. KCPR WILL HOLD ON TO PREVAILING MVFR TO
IFR IMPACTS THROUGH MID-MORNING AS SNOW CONTINUES. KLND WILL ALSO
HAVE A CHANCE FOR SNOW AND IFR IMPACTS THIS MORNING THOUGH WILL KEEP
THIS AS A TEMPO GROUP. SNOW SHOWERS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON AS UNSTABLE NORTHWEST FLOW SETS IN BEHIND THE TROUGH
AXIS. ALL TERMINALS WILL HAVE A CHANCE AT SEEING AT LEAST BRIEF MVFR
IMPACTS THIS AFTERNOON, THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS GENERALLY LOW ON TIMING
AND EXACT PLACEMENT OF THIS ACTIVITY. SHOWERS WILL MOSTLY END BY
LATE EVENING, WITH CLEARING SKIES EXPECTED TOWARD 12Z SATURDAY.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 554 AM MDT FRI APR 17 2026
WIDESPREAD SNOW IS EXPECTED AT MOST, IF NOT ALL TERMINALS TODAY.
SNOW WILL BECOME MORE STEADY ACROSS THE AREA LATER THIS MORNING,
CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY AS WELL AS LOW CIGS. BLUSTERY CONDITIONS
WITH GUSTS OVER 25 KTS ARE ALSO EXPECTED WHICH COULD LEAD TO
AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. OVERALL, MVFR AND IFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO IMPROVE
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS PRECIPITATION MOVES OUT, RAISING CIGS
AND IMPROVING VISIBILITY. VFR CONDITIONS LIKELY BY THE EVENING.

(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 519 AM CDT FRI APR 17 2026
THIS MORNING A LOW LEVEL CLOUD DECK OF MVFR CONDITIONS HAS BUILT
OVER KAMA. THIS WILL LAST UNTIL THE MID MORNING HOURS WHEN THE
WINDS PICK UP. AFTER THIS VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL TERMINALS FOR THE
REST OF THE PERIOD. THIS MORNING THE WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE
WILL BE FAR STRONGER LEADING TO SPEED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT ALL
TERMINALS. THIS WILL PERSIST UNTIL THE WINDS BECOME GUSTY DURING
THE LATER MORNING HOURS. THEN ROBUST SOUTHWEST WIND WILL BLOW AT
ALL TERMINALS UNTIL THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT DURING THE
AFTERNOON TO EVENING. THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT WILL BRING A SHARP
SHIFT TO NORTHERLY WINDS AND CAUSE THE WINDS TO INCREASE IN
STRENGTH. THESE STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GUST ALL
THROUGH THE NIGHT, ALTHOUGH THEY WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. FINALLY THE WINDS WILL BECOME WEAK TOWARDS THE
MID MORNING HOURS OF SATURDAY.

SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY WINDS WILL PICKUP QUICKLY THIS MORNING,
TURNING NORTHWESTERLY THRU THE DAY AS A COLD FRONT ADVANCES WEST
TO EAST ACROSS THE STATE. WIDESPREAD GUSTS OF 25 TO 30KTS CAN BE
EXPECTED WITH PEAK GUSTS OF 30 TO 40KTS FOCUSED IN AREAS ALONG AND
EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. LOCALIZED BLOWING DUST
RESULTING IN LOWER VISIBILITY IS ALSO POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND
WILL FAVOR THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. AN AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING
FOR WIND GUSTS OF 35KTS OR STRONGER MAY BECOME NECESSARY AT KABQ,
WHICH WOULD ALSO FAVOR THE FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS
TURN NORTHERLY TONIGHT, STAYING STRONGEST THE LONGEST ALONG THE TX
STATE LINE IN FAR EASTERN NM WHILE TAPERING OFF OVER CENTRAL AND
WESTERN NM.
