AVIATION...KSLC
MID TO HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE
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.
