AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1143 AM MDT WED MAR 12 2025
VFR TO PREVAIL THROUGH TONIGHT AND THURSDAY UNDER A FEW HIGH

BUT SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN 15 KNOTS AND LESS THAN 10
KNOTS MOST OF THE TIME. CURRENTLY RADAR SHOWS SOUTHEAST WINDS JUST
EAST OF DEN. THE RADAR ALSO SHOWS A WEAK PUSH OF WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS JUST WEST OF DEN. WILL GO WITH WEST-NORTHWEST
WINDS FOR DEN FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT WE COULD END UP WITH
SOUTHEAST WINDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF DEN AND WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS
ON THE WEST SIDE DEN. AT LEAST WIND SPEEDS SHOULD BE LESS THAN 10
KNOTS IF IT PLAYS OUT THIS WAY.

AVIATION...KSLC
MID-HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS CONTINUE TO BUILD IN WITH
GENERALLY SOUTHERLY FLOW PERSISTING THROUGH THE PERIOD. GUSTS AROUND
20KTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN OBSERVED AND ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO
AROUND 30KTS LATER TODAY, LIKELY PERSISTING THROUGH THE PERIOD. WIND
SHEAR IS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING IF WE ARE TO DECOUPLE, THOUGH IT
APPEARS MORE LIKELY THAT WINDS WILL CONTINUE MIXING TO THE SURFACE
WITH STRONG GUSTS PERSISTING.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SOUTHERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST ACROSS ALL SITES THROUGH THE PERIOD, INCREASING IN MAGNITUDE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH GUSTS INCREASING AS WELL. ADDITIONALLY, MID-
HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SYSTEM.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1115 AM MDT WED MAR 12 2025
A WEAKENING WEATHER SYSTEM IS EXITING INTO TX THIS HOUR WITH
REMNANT MVFR/IFR CEILINGS LINGERING ACROSS THE WESTERN AND
NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN, INCLUDING AT KGUP. AMDS MAY BE NEEDED AT
KGUP UNTIL THE BKN CEILINGS COMPLETELY CLEAR OUT OVER THE NEXT 1
TO 3 HOURS. BREEZY TO WINDY WESTERLY TO NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE
ALREADY MIXING INTO AREAS ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NM.
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AT KROW ARE ALREADY BRINGING BLOWING DUST,
DROPPING THE VISIBILITY TO MVFR AT THE TERMINAL. A TEMPO GROUP IS
MAINTAINED THERE AS REDUCING VISIBILITY FROM BLOWING DUST IS
EXPECTED TO WORSEN THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL TAPER OFF THIS
EVENING PAST SUNSET, PICKUP BACK UP OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST NEAR THE
END OF THE TAF PERIOD FROM 15Z TO 18Z.
