South winds early this morning will become light and variable by
14z. By 17Z they will become ENE and then more ELY by 20Z. Sct
tstms will move across between 21z and 01z so have included a
tempo group. Brief gusty winds up to 40 mph with visibility
restrictions from 3-5 miles occur. Naturally if a stronger storm
were to occur then may see higher wind gusts with lower
visibility. Wind speeds and directions will be chaotic as storms
move across afte4r 21z.
After 01z, should see decreasing potential for tstms so will just
mention prob30 but there may be lingering showers thru 05z. Wind
directions may still be erractic early this evening but should
become SSW by 05z.

Southeast winds will increase into the 10-15 kt range this
afternoon at all three terminals with thunderstorms developing
over the mountains starting around 18z, then moving off into
the valleys and adjacent plains after 21-22z. KALS and KCOS will
have the best chance of -TSRA, and will carry a prob30 group
with gusty outflow winds for both sites. Chance for -TSRA at
KPUB continues to look low, so will keep just vcsh in the
forecast for now. Convection then slowly diminishes this
evening, with a cold front switching winds to gusty northerly
at KCOS and KPUB after 02z.

Issued at 520 AM MDT Wed Jul 22 2026
Scattered showers with embedded thunderstorms continue to drift
across portions of the area earl this morning. Light rain is
falling at or near several TAF sites but VFR remains firmly in
place. Lingering convective debris clouds will persist through
sunrise with cigs at or above 120kft agl. Another active day and
overnight is forecast for Wednesday into Thursday. VFR is
prevailing in TAF sites with ILS possible in the PROB30 groups
at some sites. Confidence not high enough for MVFR or below attm
but if a heavy rain shower moves over the airfield this is very
possible over the next 24 to 36 hours.

.AVIATION...Wednesday 22/12Z through Thursday 23/12Z...Look for
mainly isolated -SHRA/-TSRA through 18Z. After 18Z, Another round
of SHRA/TSRA developing. Stronger storms will be capable of
producing hail, wind gusts to 45 kts and brief MVFR and IFR
conditions. Outside of storms, winds light and variable. Activity
diminishing to isolated after 02Z.
OUTLOOK...Thursday 23/12Z through Saturday 25/12Z...Expect
SHRA/TSRA chances through the period, most numerous during the
afternoon/evening hours. Coverage of SHRA/TSRA decreasing a bit
each day and mainly focused over higher terrain. Stronger storms
will produce brief MVFR and IFR conditions, gusty winds to 40 kts
and hail. Outside of storms, surface winds light and variable.

.AVIATION, Issued 1034 PM MDT Tue Jul 21 2026...
KSLC...Monsoonal pattern continues. Outside of precipitation
influences, winds will favor a diurnally normal pattern. Gusty and
erratic outflow winds will be especially possible near
thunderstorms, with more modestly gusty conditions with showers.
There will be around a 20-30% chance of showers/thunderstorms
overnight. Thunderstorm chances then increase late morning through
Wednesday afternoon and evening. VFR conditions favored to persist,
but any heavier cell over the terminal may result in brief periods
of reduced CIGS/VIS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...An active weather pattern will
persist as monsoonal moisture remains. Isolated to scattered shower
and thunderstorms will persist across the area overnight. Area wide
thunderstorm activity then will begin to once again increase in
coverage late morning on through Wed evening. This activity will
bring periods of heavy rainfall, lightning, gusty and erratic
outflow winds, and potentially small hail. Outside of precipitation
and outflow influences, winds at area terminals will favor a
diurnally normal pattern and direction. VFR conditions are also
favored to generally prevail, but any stronger cell directly atop a
terminal will bring potential for periods of reduced CIGS/VIS.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 427 AM MDT Wed Jul 22 2026
Confidence in the TAF details remains low at this time. Deep
moisture and an approaching shortwave will bring more numerous
showers and thunderstorms today. Any shower or storm could have
heavy downpours that bring periods of IFR visibility. Showers
and thunderstorms will be possible at any terminal today, with
the best chance between the hours of 21Z Wednesday and 06Z
Thursday, with most showers and thunderstorms ending west to
east tonight. However, a shower will be possible at just about
any time. The TAFs represent the best estimate of timing of the
showers and storms at this time, but confidence in pinpointing
individual cells remains very low at this time. Wind should
generally remain 12 knots or less except in and around any
shower or thunderstorm where gusts over 35 knots will possible.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 523 AM MDT Wed Jul 22 2026
The main aviation concern today will be scattered showers and
thunderstorms with heavy rain. Storms will likely develop during the
afternoon and evening for southeast Wyoming terminals. Slow moving
storms will drop heavy rain that could reduce visibility down to
MVFR or IFR criteria. Storms will move into the Nebraska panhandle
later in the evening, with heavy rain and reduced visibility still
expected to be the main impact. Strong wind gusts will also be
possible with storms. Low CIGs and patchy fog will be possible
Thursday morning from the increased moisture.

For KGLD & KMCK... VFR conditions are forecast at both sites
through the period. Winds are forecast to remain from the
southeast through the period with speeds around 10 kts
overnight, and then closer to 15-20 kts during the day. There
may be brief periods of low level wind shear around 300-600ft at
KGLD tonight. In regards to storms/showers, KMCK has a 10-15%
chance for showers and storms around 10-14Z as a cluster tries
to push east from near the Front Range. Otherwise, KGLD and KMCK
have another chance closer to the end of the period as another
cluster is forecast to develop near the Front Range and push
east. Severe weather is unlikely, but wind gusts could near
30-50 kts.

VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast cycle. Dry
conditions will prevail but cannot rule out a brief shower or
storm this afternoon, but very little confidence in this affecting
any TAF locations. Winds will shift more out of due south through
the day with sustained winds around 10-15kts and gusts to 20kts.
These will diminish this evening.

A cluster of showers and storms is working its way northward
between KGNT and KAEG this hour. Otherwise, the state remains
split between BKN ceilings over western NM and SKC over eastern
NM. Afternoon thunderstorm activity will favor development over
the high terrain of central and western NM, with storms moving
northward and spreading over nearby lower elevation areas. The
eastern plains look to remain mostly clear of shower and
thunderstorm activity. Localized IFR/MVFR conditions will
accompany any passing thunderstorm. Conditions slowly clear thru
western and central NM this evening. Some low clouds may develop
MVFR conditions over portions of western NM tonight into Thursday
morning.
