WIDESPREAD MIDLEVEL CEILINGS CAN BE FOUND ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA AND THIS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND INTO
TOMORROW. IN FACT, CLOUDS WILL LOWER AS A FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH MOVE THROUGH SO MVFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR FROM TIME TO
TIME WITH SOME IFR LIKELY AS WELL FOR ALL TAF SITES. SHOWERS
AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH. CONDITIONS WILL START IMPROVING IN THE AFTERNOON
BUT THEN WE CAN EXPECT GUSTY WINDS TO MATERIALIZE.

AVIATION...KSLC
ISOLATED SHOWER CHANCES ARE MAINTAINED THROUGH
AROUND 10Z. ONGOING FLOW HAS BEEN SUPPORTING SOUTHERLY WINDS, BUT
SHOWERS AND EASTERLY WINDS DRAINING OUT OF CANYONS MAY RESULT IN
SOME VARIABILITY BEFORE MORE LIKELY SETTLING NORTHERLY AFTER 10Z OR
SO. SHOWER CHANCES DIMINISH THEREAFTER WITH GRADUAL CLEARING AND
MAINTAINED NORTHERLY WINDS INTO THE DAY. WINDS THEN EXPECTED TO
SHIFT BACK SE BY ~03-05Z THU.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH DAWN OR SO, ESPECIALLY AT NORTHERN TERMINALS.
IN ADDITION, NORTHERN TERMINALS NEAR TERRAIN MAY SEE SOME EASTERLY
TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS TRY TO SNEAK IN. WIND DIRECTIONS MAY BE A BIT
VARIABLE FOR A BIT GIVEN THE DIFFERENT INFLUENCES, BUT SHOULD BEGIN
TO SETTLE OUT NORTHERLY BY MID MORNING. TERMINALS WILL THEN SEE A
CLEARING TREND THROUGH THE DAY, WITH WINDS FAVORED TO REMAIN
NORTHERLY. WINDS THEN BEGIN TO FOLLOW A MORE DIURNALLY NORMAL TREND
INTO THE EVENING, EXCEPTING SGU WHICH MAY SEE A PERIOD OF DOWN-
CANYON WINDS DEVELOP NEAR SUNSET.

AS OF LATE TONIGHT, LATEST RADAR HAS BEEN SEEING SHOWERS PUSH INTO
THE PANHANDLES FORM THE NORTH AND WEST. HOWEVER, THESE STORMS
HAVE STRUGGLED TO PRODUCE MUCH GIVEN THE VERY STRONG DRY AIR
PRESENT IN THE LOWER-LEVELS. BECAUSE OF THIS CONFIDENCE IN ACTUAL
IMPACTS TO THE TERMINALS IS ON THE LOWER END WITH KGUY THE ONLY
TERMINAL WITH FULL SHOWERS MENTION IN THE CURRENT PACKAGE.
REGARDLESS LATEST CAMS DO SEE US GETTING A LITTLE BREAK DURING THE
OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, THIS
BREAK IS EXPECTED TO COME WITH A DROP IN CIGS TO MVFR FOR KAMA AND
IFR LEVELS FOR KDHT AND KGUY. THESE CIGS DO LOOK TO HOLD FOR MOST
OF WEDNESDAY, ALBEIT WITH KAMA POSSIBLY GETTING A SLIGHT BREAK
DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS.
