.AVIATION /06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday/...
Issued at 1131 PM MDT Thu Aug 21 2025
VFR through Friday afternoon. Winds behind convective outflow this
evening have been generally out of the north or northwest, though
these have weakened quickly since 05z. Drainage winds will at
least attempt to develop at the terminals overnight though speeds
will be fairly light. Another frontal surge is expected to reach
the terminals by about 14-17z Friday morning, with a return to
north-northeast winds. Fairly widespread convection is expected to
develop during the afternoon hours, with impacts to the terminals
possible after about 21z. Scattered showers and thunderstorms may
continue through the evening hours.
Guidance is fairly bullish on the potential for low stratus late
Friday night into Saturday morning as another surge of moist
upslope arrives. Reasonably high potential for MVFR or IFR
ceilings at the end of the TAF period for DEN.

Midlevel clouds are widespread across the area tonight, along
with some pockets of showers. Little, if any, rain is making it
to the ground with these showers, but they are producing gusty
and erratic outflow winds. Aside from this, expect winds to
follow typical terrain driven patterns tonight. Tomorrow
afternoon will some gusty northerly winds for areas along and
north of I-70, along with erratic outflow winds associated with
storms. Chances for heavy rain in addition to the wind and
lightning threat will come up tomorrow, especially for areas
along the Divide. Smoke will from the Derby fire will continue
to be an issue for KEGE and KASE. VFR conditions will prevail,
but periods of MVFR will be possible due to smoke or brief heavy
rain.

Light showers and mid to high level clouds continue to stream
over the area this morning. Gusty and erratic outflow winds will
be possible through the day. Otherwise, winds will be light and
follow typical terrain driven patterns. Smoke from the nearby
Derby fire will affect KEGE and KASE, leading to some periods of
reduced visibility. Showers and thunderstorms will form over the
higher terrain this afternoon, with gusty winds and lightning
the main threats, although brief heavy rain will be possible
over the southern mountains. VFR conditions will prevail,
although brief drops to MVFR will be possible.

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions to persist at KSLC through the
period. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop
after 18z, with a roughly 30% chance to impact the terminal through
around 22z. Any storms that develop will be possible of producing
gusty and erratic winds during this period. Otherwise, expect winds
to remain generally light and diurnally driven.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions to continue for
all regional terminals through the period. Winds remain generally
light and diurnally driven. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are
expected to develop again today, with greatest coverage generally
south of the I-80 corridor. Storms will be capable of producing

Another round of showers and thunderstorms today, but will be
slightly more isolated, and confined to higher elevations. Best
chances for precip at TAF sites remain at KCPR and KRKS, with
lower chances for remaining sites east of the divide.
Another push of northeast winds wraps into central WY this
evening and overnight, bringing a deck of lower cloud cover for
KCPR/KBYG/KLND/KRIW overnight. Cigs should stay 6000 to 8000,
but some tempo cigs lower than this may occur overnight.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.
