AVIATION...KSLC
INCREASING COVERAGE OF AREA SHOWERS AND LOWER TO
MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED AROUND THE KSLC TERMINAL TODAY, WITH
ABOUT ABOUT A 30-40% CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE
TERMINAL BETWEEN 17-21Z. TEMPORARY CIG REDUCTION TO 6-7KFT AGL IS
EXPECTED WITH NEARBY SHOWERS. SOUTHERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BE THE
PREVAILING WIND DIRECTION, HOWEVER, OUTFLOWS FROM SHOWERS MAY
GENERATE ERRATIC WIND DIRECTIONS AND GUSTY WINDS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
EXPECT SHOWERS TO INCREASE
ACROSS THE FORECAST ARE THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON
HOURS. AS SUCH, INCREASING COVERAGE OF LOW LEVEL CLOUD COVER IS
ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE REGION, THOUGH VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PERSISTS AT A MAJORITY OF TERMINALS. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE DAY OUTSIDE OF ANY OUTFLOWS PRODUCED
BY SHOWERS.

ISSUED AT 445 AM MDT SUN APR 27 2025
WINDS BEGIN TO INCREASE BETWEEN 16Z AND 19Z IN RESPONSE TO AN
APPROACHING STORM, TIGHTENING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. GUSTS 20
TO 30 KNOTS WILL BE COMMON FOR MOST SITES THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. KJAC MAY SEE A FEW GUSTS NEAR 20 KNOTS DURING THE
AFTERNOON, MAINLY IN RESPONSE TO ANY NEARBY SHOWERS OR STORMS.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON, MAINLY FOR
WESTERN SITES. AT KJAC, PEAK CHANCES (60 TO 70%) FOR THUNDERSTORMS
OCCUR BETWEEN 21Z AND 01Z; PROB30 REMAINS IN THE FORECAST FOR
NOW, GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY WITH THUNDERSTORM PLACEMENT AT THIS
TIME DISTANCE. STORMS LOOK TO DWINDLE AFTER 01Z, WITH RAIN
SHOWERS MORE LIKELY. RAIN MAY BEGIN TO TRANSITION TO SNOW OR A
RAIN/SNOW MIX AROUND 06Z.
OTHER LOCATIONS WHERE SHOWERS/STORMS ARE POSSIBLE ARE KBPI, KCOD,
AND KPNA, WHERE EACH HAVE PROB30 GROUPS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. KCPR MAY
SEE SOME RAIN AFTER 00Z, THOUGH CONFIDENCE REMAINS ONLY ABOUT
20% AT THIS TIME. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
BIGHORN BASIN TOWARD 12Z, BUT WILL BECOME MORE LIKELY INTO THE
NEXT TAF PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ANY STORMS THAT DO MOVE OVER SITES WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE
STRONG TO SEVERE, WITH VRB GUSTY WINDS 30-40+ KNOTS POSSIBLE,
ALONGSIDE HAIL. AN ISOLATED TORNADO RISK ALSO POSSIBLE,
PRIMARILY IMPACTING KBFF/KCDR/KAIA. AFTER STORM ACTIVITY MOVES

FOG AND DRIZZLE WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS,
HOWEVER, LOWER CEILINGS BELOW 1000 FEET AND OVERCAST SKIES WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO ADD TO
AVIATION CONCERNS AS SOUTHERLY GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE BY
MID-MORNING LASTING INTO THE EVENING. THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL
FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON, BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW IN
DEVELOPMENT AND EXACT LOCATIONS, ESPECIALLY FURTHER TO THE SOUTH.
THEREFORE, HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THUNDERSTORM MENTIONS OUT OF KLBF, BUT
DID PUT VCTS INTO KVTN DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THIS WILL LIKELY
NEED ADJUSTMENTS AS CONFIDENCE IN CONVECTION POTENTIAL BECOMES
CLEARER.

AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING, CURRENT SATELLITE SHOWS LOW CLOUDS
CONTINUING AT DHT AND AMA, BUT WE ARE ALREADY NOTICING A CLEARING

LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THOUGH DHT SHOULD CLEAR OUT BEFORE AMA THIS
MORNING. FROM THERE, SKY CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY TURN SKC.
STRONG, SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL IMPACTS ALL SITES TODAY. LOW LEVEL
WIND SHEAR IS ALSO EXPECTED FOR ALL TERMINAL TONIGHT, AS STRONG
LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD.
