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.

EVENING AS A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES. WINDS WILL STAY GUSTY FROM THE
SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST, WITH GUSTS AROUND 25 OR 30 KNOTS PREVAILING MUCH
OF THE TAF PERIOD. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WILL TRACK
SOUTH TO NORTH FROM AROUND 15Z THROUGH WHEN A COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH, MOST LIKELY BETWEEN 00-03Z, AND BE CAPABLE OF ENHANCING
WINDS AND ALTERING DIRECTIONS. THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING A
TRANSITION TO NORTHWEST FLOW AND SNOW CAPABLE OF MVFR OR IFR
CONDITIONS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS, WITH
GUSTS FROM 25-35 KNOTS FOR SOUTHWEST WYOMING AND UTAH WILL PREVAIL
MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD. ANY LOCATION THAT WOULD DECOUPLE WITH LIGHT
SURFACE WINDS WOULD HAVE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR, WITH GUSTY SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS IN PLACE. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED VALLEY RAIN SHOWERS
MUCH OF THE DAY COULD BRING GUSTY, ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS. A COLD
FRONT WILL TRACK FROM WEST TO EAST, PUSHING INTO WESTERN UTAH AROUND
21Z AND THE URBAN CORRIDOR FROM 00-03Z. THE FRONT WILL BRING A
TRANSITION TO SNOW WITH MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS.

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.
