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.

WATCHING SOME STRATUS DEVELOP ON SATELLITE JUST NORTHEAST OF THE
GLD TERMINAL. A LACK OF OBSERVATIONS CURRENTLY IN THE AREA OF
THAT FEATURE CASTS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON WHAT CEILINGS MAY BE,
ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO HAVE SEEN SOME MVFR CEILINGS SO HAVE
OPTED TO GO THAT ROUTE UNTIL/IF THE STRATUS MAKES IT HERE. AT
THIS TIME NO FLIGHT CATEGORY DEGRADATION IS CURRENTLY FORECAST
FOR MCK. 10-15% CHANCE OF SOME HIT AND MISS SHOWERS FOR EACH
TERMINAL STARTING AS EARLY AS 17Z AND LASTING THROUGH THE
EVENING BUT THE HIT AND MISS NATURE OF THESE AND THE LOWER
CHANCES FOR IMPACTS FOR EACH TERMINAL WILL PRECLUDE ANY MENTION
IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME. MAY AGAIN HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON A
10-20% CHANCE FOR MORE STRATUS AND POSSIBLY FOG TOWARDS THE END
OF THE PERIOD BUT CONFIDENCE IS TO LOW TO INCLUDE AT THIS TIME.
AS FOR WINDS, NEWEST DATA SUGGESTS SOME WIND GUSTS AROUND 20
KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING AND THEN AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AS
WINDS THEN VEER BACK TO THE EAST AND EVENTUALLY AGAIN TO THE
SOUTH BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FOR ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE

FEW HOURS OF THE PERIOD. AFTERWARDS, MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE
EXPECTED; SHIFTING WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD AND
ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY EXCEED 5 KTS, WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE VARIABLE
DUE TO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS SW KANSAS.

EARLY MORNING SHOWER ACTIVITY IN EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WILL
SLOWLY DWINDLE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. A WEAK SURFACE FRONT HAS
ALSO MOVED INTO NORTHEASTERN AND EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WHICH
WILL KEEP LOW STRATUS CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG THROUGH THE POST-DAWN

IFR (CEILINGS LESS THAN 1000 FT) CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THE LATE MORNING. 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.
