SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1112 UTC FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2025
AVIATION...KSLC
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
DAY UNTIL A TRANSITION TO NORTHWESTERLY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. THE TIMING OF THIS TRANSITION IS STILL VERY
UNCERTAIN...EXPECTED ANYTIME BETWEEN 03-06Z. WINDS WILL TURN BACK TO
LIGHTER AND SOUTHEASTERLY AFTER ~2-4 HOURS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT,
SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP IN THE AREA AFTER 21Z, LIKELY INCREASING IN
COVERAGE AFTER 01Z, WITH A PERIOD OF MODERATE-HEAVY PRECIPITATION
ALONG THE FRONT. ALONG AND FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE, THERE IS A
60% CHANCE OF MVFR CONDITIONS AND A 20% CHANCE OF IFR CONDITIONS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS THIS
MORNING WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA AFTER
17Z AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP JUST AHEAD OF THIS
FRONTAL PASSAGE, WITH A PERIOD OF MODERATE-HEAVY PRECIPITATION
EXPECTED AS THE FRONT CROSSES MAINLY THE NORTHERN AREAS DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING. STILL, ALL BUT EASTERN UTAH WILL SEE HIGH
PRECIPITATION CHANCES PARTICULARLY AFTER 02Z. THIS HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION IS LIKELY TO PRODUCE MVFR TO EVEN IFR CONDITIONS AT
TIMES. AT KEVW IN PARTICULAR, SNOW LEVELS WILL LIKELY BE LOW ENOUGH
TO PRODUCE SNOW INSTEAD OF RAIN, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN HIGHER
CHANCES OF THESE REDUCED CONDITIONS. FINALLY, MOST SITES WILL SEE A
TRANSITION TO NORTHWESTERLY WINDS FOLLOWING THIS COLD FRONT.
