AVIATION...KSLC
SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH AROUND 12Z COULD
ALTER WIND DIRECTION, BUT WINDS WILL PREVAIL FROM THE SOUTHEAST. A
TRANSITION TO LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS IS LIKELY AROUND 16Z. DRY
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE DAY, WITH AROUND A 20% CHANCE
FOR A RAIN SHOWER FROM 21-00Z.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SCATTERED SHOWERS, PARTICULARLY
AROUND HIGHER TERRAIN, WILL LAST MUCH OF THE DAY. VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL FOR MOST LOCATIONS, BUT SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
LOWERING CONDITIONS INTO MVFR OR IFR RANGE. SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH
AROUND 00Z. WINDS WILL PREVAIL FROM THE NORTHWEST WITH RELATIVELY
LIGHT SPEEDS. GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS ARE LIKELY FOR SOUTHWEST WYOMING
AND SOUTHERN UTAH FROM 18-00Z.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1042 PM MDT SUN APR 27 2025
THE MAIN WEATHER FEATURE OF THE PERIOD IS A COLD FRONT MOVING IN
FROM THE NORTH, BRINGING PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. RAIN IS MOST
LIKELY (60% TO 90% CHANCES) FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND EAST OF THE
DIVIDE. KBPI, KPNA, AND KRKS HAVE THE LEAST LIKELY CHANCES, THOUGH
PROB30 GROUPS ARE STILL IN THE RESPECTIVE TAFS. STARTING TIME OF
RAIN IS A BIT UNCERTAIN, AS MODELS VARY IN TIMING. HAVE OPTED FOR A
MORE MIDDLING TIME IN THE TAFS, SO RAIN MAY BEGIN UP TO A COUPLE
HOURS BEFORE INDICATED. PRECIPITATION SHOULD MOSTLY BE RAIN, THOUGH
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE OCCASIONAL SNOW MIX IN. RAIN SHOULD
BEGIN TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE BY LATE MONDAY EVENING, WITH SOME LOW
TO MIDDLE CLOUDS HANGING AROUND LONGER.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 454 PM MDT SUN APR 27 2025
WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS THIS EVENING'S SHOWERS AND
STORMS HAVE DEPARTED THE REGION. CONDITIONS SHOULD BE FAIRLY
CALM THIS EVENING WITH MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS, WITH WINDS FROM
THE WEST TO NORTHWEST PICKING BACK UP LATER THIS MORNING INTO
THE AFTERNOON WITH WIDESPREAD GUSTS 20-40 KNOTS. ANOTHER ROUND
OF SHOWERS AND SOME STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING, WITH ACTIVITY EXPECTED NEAR MOST SITES EXCEPT KSNY
WHERE CHANCES ARE ON THE LOW SIDE AND HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN
THIS ROUND OF TAFS. AS PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY MOVES BACK INTO
THE REGION, EXPECT CIGS TO DESCEND TO MVFR TO POTENTIALLY IFR
STATUS ALONGSIDE LOWERED VISIBILITIES IN HEAVIER RAIN.

VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. STRONG WINDS ALSO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD, AND WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THE DAY TIME. THE LOW LEVEL JET HAS FORMED OVER THE AREA; HOWEVER,
DECOUPLING MAY ONLY OCCUR OVER GUY TONIGHT THAT THEY MAY RECEIVE
LLWS. INSTEAD, STRONG +30KT WIND GUSTS WILL TRANSPIRE OVER AMA AND
DHT UNTIL AROUND 09Z THIS MORNING. WIND SPEEDS WILL DECREASE A BIT
AROUND SUNRISE, BUT THEN DAY TIME HEATING WILL AID IN WIND SPEEDS
INCREASING ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WE WILL FINALLY
SEE SURFACE WINDS DECREASE BELOW 10KTS AT ALL TERMINALS LATE
TONIGHT HEADING INTO THIS TIME TOMORROW.
