stratus development at the terminals, and with expected passing
clouds overnight, will not include at this time.
Another weak front will move across the plains early Wednesday
morning, with increasing low level moisture within developing
upslope flow, combined with monsoonal moisture within modest
westerly flow aloft, bring good chances of showers and storms
at all 3 taf sites Wednesday afternoon and evening. Will keep
prob30 aft 20Z at all 3 taf sites for now. Storms at the
terminals will bring MVFR and brief IFR conditions in heavy
rain and gusty outflow winds.

.AVIATION...KSLC...Gusty southeasterly winds will continue through
the afternoon before a delayed shift to the northwest, likely
around 01-02z, then back to diurnal southeasterlies between
04-05z. There is a 40 percent chance that the initial shift to NW
will not occur at all. VFR conditions will prevail.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Conditions remain similar to
yesterday across much of the area, with breezy southwesterly
winds continuing into early evening and elevated smoke producing
hazy skies across much of central/eastern Utah. MVFR-IFR VIS/CIGs
will once again be possible in close proximity to local wildfires.
Any isolated showers/thunderstorms along the high terrain east of
the Wasatch and into SW Wyoming should be put to bed between
01-02z. These storms remain capable of producing gusty and erratic
outflow winds up to 40kts.

A few showers skirt northwest Wyoming overnight as shortwave energy
spins west of the forecast area. These showers could produce brief
sprinkles in the vicinity of KCOD overnight. Otherwise, all
terminals to be dry through 20Z/Wednesday. Despite rainfall early
Tuesday evening at KCPR moistening the boundary layer, the signal
for low clouds overnight is lacking and have kept KCPR VFR. Moisture
remains in place Wednesday afternoon, which again allows convection
to ignite by mid-afternoon. The strongest convection will be along
an east of the Continental Divide where moisture and instability is
more plentiful. Showers and storms fire over the Wind River and
Absaroka Ranges around 20Z-21Z/Wednesday before moving east, not
reaching KCPR until after 00Z/Thursday. To the southwest, expect
TSRA to be more hit-and-miss, while high-based showers producing
gusty outflow wind will be the primary hazard. Temperature-dew point
spreads favor 40kt gusts in the vicinity of KRKS. KCPR and KRKS to
see easterly surface wind for a good portion of the forecast period.
Nocturnal northerly wind 10-15kts to impact KJAC overnight and again
Wednesday evening.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Although a low amplitude ridge aloft will exist across the
region, moist upslope flow and monsoonal moisture will help
produce scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, mainly
during the afternoon and evening hours.
Wyoming TAFS...For Rawlins, scattered clouds near 10000 feet
will occur.
For Laramie, scattered to broken clouds from 3500 to 8000 feet
will occur, with fog from 10Z to 14Z, reducing visibilities to
3 miles and ceilings to 1500 feet.
For Cheyenne, ceilings will range from 200 to 1500 feet until
19Z, with occasional thunderstorms and fog until 08Z, reducing
visibilities to 3 miles, then ceilings will range from 3500 to
5000 feet after 19Z.
Nebraska TAFS...For Chadron and Alliance, ceilings will range
from 2500 to 8000 feet, with fog from 11Z to 15Z, reducing
visibilities to 3 miles and ceilings to 900 feet.
For Scottsbluff and Sidney, ceilings will range from 2500 to
6000 feet, with occasional thunderstorms at Scottsbluff until
08Z, producing wind gusts to 35 knots, visibilities to 4 miles
and ceilings to 1800 feet, and fog at Sidney from 09Z to 15Z,
reducing visibilities to 3 miles and ceilings to 1500 feet.

Rain showers are expected to persist across portions of western and
north central Nebraska through the early morning hours. Along
with the rain showers, ceilings are expected to lower to MVFR
conditions across most of the region, eventually becoming IFR.
With the recent rainfall and light surface winds, fog is likely
to develop prior to sunrise, lasting though mid morning.
Conditions will gradually recover to MVFR and VFR across the
region in the afternoon into the evening.

Convection has noticeably weakened and decreased in coverage
the past few hours (per radar/observational trends since 02Z).
Aside from a lingering potential for convection at either
terminal late this evening, VFR conditions will otherwise
prevail through the TAF period. Low forecast confidence with
regard to wind speed/direction. Aside from gusty and erratic
winds in vicinity of decaying convection and/or convective
remnants late this evening and Wednesday morning.. winds should,
on the whole, tend to be light/variable.

Widely scattered thunderstorms (<20%) will accompany a trough
of low pressure at the surface as it crosses southwest Kansas
overnight. BUFR soundings indicate ceilings at or above 9000
feet AGL overnight. As this boundary passes the southerly winds
at 10 to 15 knots will shift to the north northwest at 10 to 15
knots. A brief period of higher wind speeds is possible
immediately following this boundary passage. This initial
boundary passage will be followed by a cold front crossing
southwest Kansas after 12Z Wednesday. As this cold front passes
during the day the north winds will become more northeast but
remain in the 10 to 15 knot range. Ceilings of 6000 to 10000
feet AGL are possible this afternoon following the cold frontal
passage and as scattered late day storms develop. Chances for
convection are possible after 21Z today with better chances
occurring after 00Z Thursday, mainly in the Liberal, Dodge City,
and Garden City areas.

Generally VFR conditions for the next 24 hours at all terminals.
The exception will be during the passage of a rain shower or
thunderstorm which can drop conditions to MVFR. There is a low
chance for these to occur this evening at KDHT. There is then a
higher chance for these to impact all terminals for Wednesday
afternoon through the overnight. Any of the rain showers and
thunderstorms will be capable of producing strong downburst winds.

Shower and thunderstorm activity will remain focused across the
southwest mountains and eastern NM this evening tapering off
mostly before midnight. Brief visibility reductions from heavy
rain and gusty and erratic wind gusts of up to 40kts is possible
from any shower and thunderstorm. Light winds and lingering mid
level clouds across central and eastern NM overnight. A new crop
of showers and thunderstorms look to develop across the higher
terrain midday Wednesday, eventually filling into lower elevations
across central and eastern NM during the mid afternoon and early
evening hours. PROB 30s and TEMPOs have been been included at all
TAF sites for this activity, outside of KFMN. Gusty winds will be
the bigger threat at KGUP from shower and storm activity due to
the drier low levels.
