SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION...KSLC
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL INTERMITTENTLY GUST
TO AROUND 20-25KTS THROUGH THE MORNING, BECOMING MORE PERSISTENT
AFTER 18Z. BLOWING DUST HAS REDUCED VIS TO HIGH-END MVFR THIS
MORNING, AND COULD BOUNCE BETWEEN MVFR AND VFR VIS AT TIMES AT
LEAST THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS LOW
WITH HOW THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY UNFOLD. ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS WILL
BEGIN TO DEVELOP AFTER 19Z, WITH CHANCES INCREASING AFTER 03Z.
CIGS ARE LIKELY TO DROP TO AROUND 5000-6000FT AGL AFTER 17Z,
RESULTING IN MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS CAN
BE FOUND IN LOCATIONS DOWNWIND OF HIGHER TERRAIN THIS MORNING, AND
WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD IN MOST AREAS AFTER 18Z. THE HIGHEST
WIND GUSTS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS WESTERN VALLEYS, WITH MANY AREAS
SOUTH OF US-6 AND WEST OF I-15 EXPECTED TO SEE GUSTS IN EXCESS OF
40KTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS
SOUTHWESTERN UT EARLY THIS MORNING, THOUGH MAY HAVE A HARD TIME
REACHING THE 5SM RADIUS AROUND KCDC GIVEN STRONG DOWNSLOPING
WINDS. THESE SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH BY MID-
AFTERNOON AFTER ROUGHLY ~19- 20Z, RESULTING IN MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION AND A LOW CHANCE FOR PERIODIC MVFR VIS.

VFR CONDITIONS CURRENTLY REMAIN FORECAST FOR THIS TAF PERIOD.
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME PATCHY FOG AROUND MCK FROM
13-15Z DUE TO LIGHT WINDS AND LOWERING DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS
THIS MORNING; BUT OVERALL ANTICIPATING ANY REDUCTION IN
VISIBILITY TO RANGE FROM 6-9SM. THERE IS A 10% CHANCE THAT IF
FOG DOES DEVELOP IT COULD FALL TO MVFR AND LESS THAN 5% CHANCE
OF VISIBILITY FALLING TO 1/2SM. BE AWARE OF SOME LIGHT ICING
SHOULD ANY FOG FORM AS TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING. AFTER
THIS WINDS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO REMAIN LIGHT AND VARIABLE
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GLD WHERE A PERIOD OF WNW WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO OCCUR BEFORE BECOMING MORE VARIABLE.
