Gusty south winds remain south of DIA and radar really hasn`t
shown much of a northward push to the boundary the past hour.
Latest HRRR has delayed the gusty south winds until 21Z as weak
circulations develop along the boundary. As far as tstms,
soundings show a decent cap in place, however, there could be
enough forcing along the boundary to generate an isold storm
between 21z and 00Z. For tonight, should see gusty south winds
which may turn light west by 10z or 11z. Threat of stratus/fog
late tonight should be much lower than this morning. Winds will
become gusty from the SSW by 15Z on Sun.

At KPUB and KCOS, fog has lifted as of 17z, and based on
satellite images, stratus should lift/burn off toward 19z. Did
add a PROB30 group for tsra to KPUB for a few hrs late
afternoon/evening, as several CAMs develop convection near the
terminal 22z-23z. Weak se wind overnight will likely lead to a
return of IFR stratus and fog at both sites after 06z, then VFR
conditions come back by midday Sunday as drier air moves into
the area.
At KALS, VFR the next 24 hrs with a period of gusty (g25-30 kts)
this afternoon and early evening.

.AVIATION...KSLC...South winds are expected to prevail over the KSLC
terminal through the morning and afternoon hours alongside VFR
conditions. Wind gusts are expected to increase as the sun rises
over the valley (~14-15Z) and will persist through roughly sunset.
Around 02Z, a swap to westerly flow is anticipated before return to
southerly flow around 04Z.
.Rest of Utah and Southwest Wyoming...Gusty southerly winds (20-25+
knots) are expected across much of the region today with skies
clearing across the northern area. Middle and high level cloud cover
is expected to build back into the region during the afternoon.
Winds are generally expected to begin increasing in speeds as the
sun rises and will continue to gust through sun down. Areas on the
north end of terrain features may see variable flow directions and
gust spread through the day and into the overnight hours.

All terminals to be VFR through the forecast period. Cumulus are
already developing over the western mountains as of late Saturday
morning. These clouds will lead to isolated showers that push
northeast onto the lower elevations after 20Z/Saturday. KCOD
would have the best chance at a stray shower until 00Z/Sunday,
but confidence is not high. Otherwise, mid and high cloud cover
increases over the west Sunday morning as a closed low
approaches from the west. Southwest surface wind 10-20kts across
the southwest terminals and KCPR will diminish around sunset
Saturday evening. The pressure gradient tightens Sunday morning
ahead of the upper low. This allows for southerly surface wind
to increase to 12-25kts during the 15Z-18Z/Sunday timeframe at
these same terminals.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZLC and ZDV for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Skies are slowly clearing from West to East. However,
KCDR/KAIA/KSNY may not clear to VFR conditions as a Denver
cyclone looks to keep cloudy conditions as a warm front keeps
the lower atmosphere saturated. There is another nocturnal
inversion expected tonight that will mainly only apply to the
Wyoming terminals where dense fog may develop. For our Nebraska
terminals there will be a low level jet forming tonight that
will keep winds gusty and present a low level wind shear concern
for tonight around 06z. I didnt put fog in the Nebraska TAFs as
the winds seemed a little strong for fog development with the
weak inversion but there`s still a chance for fog to develop.
Tomorrow afternoon there`s a chance for thunderstorms to develop
also mainly in the Nebraska Panhandle but KCYS also has a
chance just as a heads up for planning purposes. Timing is a
little spotty but anything after 20z may be fair game for
storms.

tonight into overnight as patchy fog and drizzle may develop and
drop visibilities. Isolated showers and thunderstorms may be
possible this afternoon into the evening. Winds will remain

Both terminals (KGLD/KMCK) will continue to see ceilings range
from OVC002-006 through the forecast period. Fog and the
chances for showers will bring about MVFR/IFR visibility around
1-4sm through the forecast as well. Winds for KGLD, southeast
around 15-30kts. Winds for KMCK, southeast around 15-25kts.

Poor flying weather will prevail through this TAF cycle, with
widespread IFR/LIFR stratus, and somewhat reduced visibility in
BR/FG. Any rain shower coverage is forecast to remain near 30%,
and opted to keep any rain out of this set of TAFs. Visibility
will fall to 1-2 sm at times, especially 06-15z Sun. Southeast
winds will prevail through the period. After 18z Sun, strong
south winds are expected, gusting 35-40 kts, with the strongest
winds expected at GCK. Stratus ceilings will gradually erode
from west to east through Sunday.

Conditions have improved to VFR at KAMA, while KDHT and KGUY
continue to have persistent or at least intermittent MVFR to IFR
ceilings. There is a very low chance for any additional showers or
storms to impact any TAF sites during the 18z period, so mentions
have been left out for now. Low ceilings should return to all
sites later this afternoon-evening into the overnight hours,
clearing tomorrow morning. Winds will stay out of the south-
southeast at 10-20 kts, picking up out of the southwest at KDHT
tomorrow morning-afternoon.

VFR conditions prevail and are forecast to persist west of the
central mountain chain, but MVFR and even IFR conditions prevail
and are forecast to persist across eastern NM. Moisture across
eastern NM will fuel another round of storms this
afternoon/evening, with impacts likely at KTCC and much less
likely at KROW. Some improvement is forecast this afternoon across
eastern NM, but deterioration is likely this evening and
overnight. Kept KROW VFR, but there are low probabilities for IFR
conditions to develop overnight. Otherwise, gusty southerly winds
are forecast today across central and western NM and an Airport
Weather Warning may be required at KABQ for gusts to 35kts.
