SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2224 UTC WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 2025
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.

THURSDAY MORNING WITH A RAIN SNOW MIX DEVELOPING THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AS TEMPERATURES WARM. CONDITIONS WILL DROP TO IFR THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS AT KJAC, WITH IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR IN THE AFTERNOON AS
IT TRANSITIONS TO MORE OF A MIX. CONFIDENCE IS LOWER IN PREVAILING
PRECIPITATION AT KBPI/KPNA THURSDAY MORNING, SO HAVE PROB30 GROUPS
AS SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS PASS THROUGH THE UPPER GREEN RIVER BASIN.
MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION MOVES IN THURSDAY AFTERNOON AT
KBPI/KPNA, WHICH WILL BE A RAIN SNOW MIX AND RESULT IN MVFR
CONDITIONS UNTIL CHANGING OVER TO SNOW THURSDAY EVENING. BY THURSDAY
EVENING CIGS WILL DROP TO IFR AND MAY EVEN DROP TO LIFR AT TIMES AT
KBPI/KPNA AS LIGHT SNOW CONTINUES TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA.
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY AT KRKS UNTIL LATE THURSDAY
EVENING AS THE PRECIPITATION (SNOW) PUSHES UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
WIND WILL BE SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST UNTIL A COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. TERMINALS WILL AVERAGE ABOUT 10 KNOTS
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. STRONGER WIND (15G25KT) WILL OCCUR AT KRKS
LATE THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. BEHIND THE FRONT
WIND WILL SHIFT NORTHWESTERLY THURSDAY EVENING/NIGHT AT KBPI/KPNA.

BEFORE A WEATHER SYSTEM BRINGS SNOW TO TERMINALS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY MORNING. THE ONLY TERMINAL AFFECTED BY SNOW DURING THE TAF
PERIOD IS KCOD LATE THURSDAY EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL INITIALLY DROP
TO MVFR AS SNOW AND LOW CLOUDS BEGIN TO MOVE IN, BUT WILL QUICKLY
DROP TO IFR JUST BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD THURSDAY NIGHT. ISOLATED
LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS MAY IMPACT KRIW/KLND LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO
THURSDAY EVENING, WITH A RUMBLE OF THUNDER POSSIBLE (15%).
CONFIDENCE REMAINS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE EVEN A PROB30 GROUP IN
THE TAF AT THIS TIME FOR LIGHT RAIN AT THESE TERMINALS.
WIND WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST BY 08Z AT KCPR AND REMAIN
STRONG THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ALL OTHER TERMINALS WILL HAVE
WIND INCREASE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND BE QUITE BREEZY, WITH GUSTS OF
