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 /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 424 AM MDT MON APR 28 2025
A COLD FRONT WILL PROGRESS SOUTHWARD THIS MORNING, WITH
PRECIPITATION BEGINNING TO FILL IN OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST 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 THERE
COULD BE TIMES OF SNOW MIXING WITH THE RAIN. RAIN SHOULD BEGIN
TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER 00Z, WITH VFR CONDITIONS
RETURNING. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE NEAR KCPR, WHERE LIFR/IFR
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 06Z BEFORE RISING TO MVFR.
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.

THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON WILL BE STRONG
WESTERLY WINDS. GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS COULD BE SEEN ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. IN ADDITION, SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN NEBRASKA,
IMPACTING KVTN BY LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING. HAIL,
ERRATIC WINDS, AND VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS DUE TO FALLING RAIN WILL BE
POSSIBLE IN ANY THUNDERSTORM. STORMS MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY 06Z,
BUT CEILINGS WILL REMAIN AT OR BELOW 5000 FEET THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE TAF PERIOD AT BOTH TERMINALS.
