TURNING BACK SW FOR THE MORNING. A FEW MODELS ARE SHOWING ISOLATED
SHOWERS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN ANY
PRECIPITATION MAKING IT TO THE GROUND, SO MENTION OF SHOWERS HAVE

HAVE OCCASIONALLY HIGHER GUSTS IN THE AFTERNOON IF WE SEE SOME

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2305 UTC WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2025
AVIATION...KSLC
A WEATHER SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN FAVORABLE RAIN
CHANCES SETTING IN AFTER AROUND 09Z THU. A LOW BUT NONZERO CHANCE
(~5-10%) OF PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE IS NOTED THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS. AROUND A 30-50% CHANCE OF PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS IS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE PRECIP, BUT PREVAILING MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION.
DESPITE THE SYSTEM, WINDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT (LESS THAN
10 KTS) WITH NEAR TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTIONAL SHIFTS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL BEGIN
OVERNIGHT INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH PRECIPITATION SPREADING ACROSS THE
AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. SNOW LEVELS WILL START AROUND 5000-7000
FT, BUT INCREASE QUICKLY. THAT SAID, VALLEY AREAS WITH LOW LEVEL
THERMAL INVERSIONS AND OTHER WELL SHADED/SHELTERED AREAS WILL SEE A
LOW END CHANCE (~5-15%) OF PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE.
OVERALL, MOST TERMINALS OUTSIDE OF HIGHEST ELEVATIONS WILL SEE RAIN,
WITH PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS.
