VFR is expected for the TAF period. Northerly winds will relax
this evening and will turn toward drainage around midnight. WNW
winds will likely develop tomorrow but may not be as persistent as
the TAFs would indicate. There will likely be some periods where
winds at DEN and APA will be light and variable in-between the
moderate westerly winds. In addition, there may be weak showers in
the afternoon that could create sporadic wind gusts. Winds will
then go back toward drainage Thursday night.

Some patches of midlevel clouds have developed over the last few
hours over central portions of western Colorado, but have
remained above breakpoints. These clouds should lift over the
next few hours. Midlevel clouds will linger over the northern
and central mountains, with showers and storms developing this
afternoon. These storms could lead to brief periods of reduced
visibility and lower ceilings below breakpoints. Additionally,
westerly winds will gust 20-30 knots this afternoon. VFR
conditions will prevail, but brief drops to MVFR/IFR conditions
will be possible in showers this afternoon.

.AVIATION...KSLC...There is a 20% chance of showers at least in
the vicinity of the SLC terminal during the morning hours. Shower
chances are expected to increase to 40-50% (along with a 20%
chance of thunderstorms) during the afternoon, particularly after
19 or 20z. These showers will bring brief periods of CIGS of 6kft
or lower and erratic winds. Otherwise, expect south winds this
morning, with a potentially earlier than normal wind shift to the
northwest. Some guidance suggest this wind shift could happen as
early as 15 or 16z, but 17-18z or later seems more likely.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Isolated rain showers (snow
above around 7kft) are expected to continue this morning, mainly
across northern Utah and southwest Wyoming. Showers will increase
to scattered coverage (with isolated thunderstorms) this afternoon
across all areas except southwest Utah which should remain mostly
dry. Some of the stronger showers could bring brief MVFR
conditions, gusty and erratic winds, and mountain obscurations.
Otherwise, most areas are likely to see near-westerly prevailing
winds.

VFR conditions expected with near MVFR conditions at COD/JAC
through the overnight hours with nearby rain showers into the
morning hours before sunrise. Otherwise, winds has diminished
with broken to overcast ceilings from near the 3kft up to 8kft
east of the Divide. Winds will increase at the usual suspects
up to 18-25kts remaining a light breeze around 10kts for
WRL/JAC/LND. Thunderstorm activity increases once again in the
afternoon Thursday starting at RKS after 18Z, then
JAC/BPI/PNA/CPR after 19Z, and COD/WRL/LND/RIW after 20Z. More
sporadic in nature than previous days, confidence is lower as
well (40-50% west of the Divide, 30-40% east of the Divide).
This should last through peak heating of the afternoon towards
sunset around 00-02Z respectively. Winds diminish and skies
improve with ceilings lifting to the mid levels and scatter out
overnight and into Friday morning.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

All terminals to be VFR through the forecast period. The primary
aviation hazard Thursday will be gusty west to northwest surface
wind. A tight pressure gradient around a mid-level low in central
South Dakota allows for 20-35kt wind speeds from 15Z/Thursday until
02Z/Friday. Mid-level moisture remains in northwest flow aloft to
generate widespread mid-level cloud decks through the afternoon
and into the evening hours Thursday. Instability is minimal
Thursday afternoon, but the presence of a mid-level thermal
trough will enable sporadic, light showers to develop after
19Z-20Z. However, terminals generally remain dry through the
forecast period. Surface west-northwest wind diminishes after
02Z/Friday, but 12-22kt speeds should linger east of the Laramie
Range through the night.
