MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST FOR THE KSLC  
TERMINAL THROUGH THE PERIOD, BUT A FEW BRIEF SNOW SHOWERS COULD DROP  
VIS TO MVFR OR IFR THROUGH ~02Z. LOWERED CIGS WILL CREATE MOUNTAIN  
OBSCURATION THROUGH ~06Z BEFORE CONDITIONS START TO CLEAR OVERNIGHT.  
THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD WILL BE DRY WITH LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS  
TRANSITIONING TO LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW OVERNIGHT.   
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
 
ISOLATED AND BRIEF SNOW  
SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AIRSPACE WILL CREATE INTERMITTENT  
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH ~02Z. LOWERED CIGS WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE  
TO MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION THROUGH ~06Z. SKIES WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR  
OVERNIGHT WITH DRYING CONDITIONS. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE.

ALBUQUERQUE AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION
 
 
(06Z TAFS)  
ISSUED AT 1042 PM MST MON JAN 13 2025  
A VERY TRICKY OVERNIGHT PERIOD IS IN STORE WITH LOW CONFIDENCE ON  
AREAL COVERAGE OF LOW CIGS AND PATCHY FREEZING FOG. CURRENT RADAR  
TRENDS SHOW LIGHT SNOW PERSISTING SOUTH OF KABQ AHEAD OF AN UPPER  
LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS AREA OF SNOW IS  
DRIFTING NORTHWARD AND MAY IMPACT THE SUNPORT THRU 2AM BEFORE  
DISSIPATING. ELSEWHERE, SATELLITE IMAGERY AND A FEW OBSERVATIONS  
ARE INDICATING PATCHY IFR CIGS/VSBYS DEVELOPING WITHIN CENTRAL  
NM. FORECAST GUIDANCE AND SOUNDING PROFILES STRUGGLE TO DEVELOP  
FREEZING FOG GIVEN THE MUCH DRIER LOW LEVEL AIRMASS EXPECTED TO  
ADVECT INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY FOR IFR  
CIGS/VSBYS ARE LESS THAN 10% BUT DO EXIST IN THE AREA FROM NEAR  
KSAF TO KTCC AND KROW. TERMINAL FORECAST AMENDMENTS ARE LIKELY TO  
OCCUR OVERNIGHT GIVEN THE LOW CONFIDENCE. VFR IS STILL EXPECTED AT  
ALL SITES BY MID TO LATE TUESDAY MORNING AS THE TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS  
EAST OF THE REGION.
