AVIATION...KSLC
LIGHT, SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE MORNING, LIKELY TRANSITIONING TO NORTHWESTERLY AROUND ~20-21Z,
WITH A LOW CHANCE OF OCCURRING AS EARLY AS 19Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL WITH CLEAR SKIES. HIGH CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA BY THURSDAY EVENING.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
WINDS WILL REMAIN LARGELY
LIGHT AND TERRAIN-DRIVEN THROUGH THE VALID TAF PERIOD, THE EXCEPTION
BEING AN INCREASE IN WESTERLY WINDS NEAR KSGU THURSDAY EVENING AHEAD
OF SOME RAIN SHOWERS. WHILE MOST LOCATIONS WILL BE DRY WITH CLEAR
SKIES, HIGH-BASED SHOWERS COULD MOVE INTO KSGU AS EARLY AS 23Z AND
KCDC AS EARLY AS 02Z, WITH GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT.

MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS TO START AS STORMS ARE APPROACHING THE TAF
SITES. AFTER 12Z THE CHANCES OF STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH, AND WE'LL
STILL HAVE LOW CIGS DUE TO TO CLOUD COVER, BUT WE SHOULD START TO
IMPROVE THE CIGS AROUND THE 12-18Z TIME PERIOD AS WE START TO GO
MORE SCATTERED IN CLOUD COVER. WITH THE FRONT THROUGH FOR THE MOST
PART, WE'RE LOOKING AT VARIABLE WINDS AROUND 5 TO 10KTS.

EARLY MORNING SHOWER ACTIVITY, MOSTLY IN NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO,
CONTINUES TO DWINDLE WITH MUCH OF IT EXPECTED TO HAVE FULLY
DISSIPATED BY DAWN. A WEAK SURFACE FRONT IS MOVING INTO
NORTHEASTERN AND EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG THROUGH THE POST-DAWN
HOURS. SCATTERED MVFR (30-50% CHANCE OF CEILINGS LESS THAN
3000FT) AND ISOLATED IFR (10-20% CHANCE OF CEILINGS LESS THAN 1000
FT) CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP THROUGH 1800UTC (NOON). NEW
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS (NEAR
KSRR) AND EVENTUALLY TOWARD THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS (NEAR KCQC AND
PERHAPS KSXU), AS WELL AS THE SOUTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS THIS
AFTERNOON. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND
GUSTY DOWNBURST WINDS WITH SOME CELLS TURNING STRONG TO SEVERE,
ESPECIALLY JUST EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN OF NEW MEXICO.
MOST STORMS WILL DIE OFF THROUGH THE EVENING WITH ONLY A FEW
STRAY SHOWERS PERSISTING LATE TONIGHT.
