AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 523 AM MDT TUE APR 7 2026
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WHILE A
STRATUS DECK EAST OF THE TERMINALS IS EVIDENT VIA GOES NIGHTTIME
MICROPHYSICS IMAGERY, THE EDGE OF THAT STRATUS DECK HAS BEEN QUITE
SLOW TO ADVECT BACK TO THE WEST, AND HAS GENERALLY SETTLED ALONG A
LINE FROM KFMM TO KLIC. THERE'S STILL AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF AN HOUR
OR TWO OF SOME LOWER CLOUDS TRYING TO PUSH TOWARDS DEN, BUT NOT
ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE PREVIOUS TEMPO.
MEANWHILE, THE REST OF THE DAY SHOULD FEATURE GENERALLY LIGHT
WINDS WITH AN EAST/SOUTHEAST COMPONENT MOST OF THE DAY. THERE
COULD STILL BE A FEW GUSTY SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS,
WITH DCAPE VALUES NEAR 1000 J/KG SUGGESTING GUST POTENTIAL OF
AROUND 25-30KT. MOST CAMS FAVOR THE SOUTHERN/SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF
THE METRO... WHERE WE'VE MAINTAINED THE PROB30 AT APA/DEN FOR SOME
GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS SHOULD QUICKLY TURN TOWARDS DRAINAGE
THIS EVENING, THEN SLOWLY TURN CLOCKWISE OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR WITH VARIABLE MID AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDINESS INCREASING INTO THE AFTERNOON AS -SHRA DEVELOPS OVER
THE MOUNTAINS AND SPREADS INTO THE ADJACENT PLAINS. ODDS
OF -TSRA ARE GREATEST AT KALS WHERE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE
THE PRIMARY STORM RISKS IN THE AFTERNOON. KCOS AND KPUB HAVE
LOWER ODDS FOR -SHRA TO IMPACT THE TERMINALS, THOUGH WINDS WILL
LIKELY BECOME ERRATIC AS SHOWERS MOVE OFF THE MOUNTAINS. HAVE
MAINTAINED PROB30 FOR -SHRA AT BOTH KCOS AND KPUB FOR NOW.
OTHERWISE WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT WITH CLEARING SKIES AFTER 00Z.

AVIATION...KSLC
THE SOUTHERLY WIND SHIFT LOOKS TO BE DELAYED
SOMEWHAT, LIKELY OCCURRING BETWEEN 06-08Z AS OF NOW. OTHERWISE, VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST WITHIN THE KSLC AIRSPACE THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD WITH DIURNAL WIND SHIFTS EXPECTED, ALBEIT GUSTY IN THE
AFTERNOON.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
KSGU IS CURRENTLY
EXPERIENCING ELEVATED WINDS AND GUSTS, LIKELY SUBSIDING BY 08Z. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS ALL OF OUR TAF SITES. DIURNAL WIND
SHIFTS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR, AND GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL
SITES WITH THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF GUSTS >20KTS AT KEVW. THERE IS
A LOW CONFIDENCE SCENARIO OF GUSTY SHOWERS IMPACTING KLGU TOMORROW
AFTERNOON, ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT

THE MAIN WEATHER ELEMENT FOR TODAY IS WIND. WINDS BEGIN TO INCREASE
BETWEEN 15Z AND 18Z THIS MORNING, WITH WIDESPREAD GUSTS 25 TO 35
KNOTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT, SOME INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS OCCUR ACROSS THE REGION, WITH
SOME LOW RAIN SHOWER CHANCES (20 TO 30 PERCENT) FOR KCOD, KJAC, AND
KWRL. ANY SHOWER HAS THE CHANCE (15 PERCENT) TO BECOME A
THUNDERSTORM. THE FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE IN FROM THE NORTH TOWARDS THE
END OF THE PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR

LOW, MVFR CEILINGS HAVE DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT AT KCYS AND KSNY.
THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR THESE CEILINGS TO DROP INTO THE IFR
CATEGORY, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW. INCLUDED TEMPO GROUPS FOR THE
MOST FAVORED TIME TO SEE IFR CONDITIONS AT THESE TERMINALS, PLUS
KBFF WHICH MAY SEE LOWERING CEILINGS OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO.
CEILINGS LIFT BY MID-MORNING, WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTY CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED AT ALL
TERMINALS, WITH KRWL LIKELY SEEING THE HIGHEST GUSTS. HIGHLY
ISOLATED SHOWERS LOOK TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON IN AND AROUND
MOST TERMINALS EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. GUSTY, ERRATIC WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY SHOWER THAT DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON.

FOR KGLD & KMCK... MVFR CEILINGS AROUND 1000-1500FT ARE FORECAST
THROUGH 16Z-18Z THIS MORNING. ON TOP OF THE LOW CEILINGS, ICING
IS A HAZARD THROUGH ABOUT 16Z AS WELL. A FEW SHOWERS ARE ALSO
TRYING TO DEVELOP AROUND THE TERMINALS. ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE
CLEAR BY 20Z, WITH EITHER CLEAR SKIES OR CLOUDS ABOVE 10000FT.
WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE AROUND 10-15 KTS THROUGH MOST OF THE
DAY WHILE SLOWLY SHIFTING TO OUT OF THE SOUTH. FINALLY, BE ALERT
FOR SOME LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR TONIGHT AFTER 01Z. THE CHANCE IS
HIGHER AT KMCK, BUT WINDS AROUND 200-400FT COULD REACH 45 KTS.
