.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday/...
Issued at 1152 AM MDT Fri Jul 4 2025
VFR conditions expected throughout the TAF period. The main impact
today will be wind gusts from isolated thunderstorms. If a storm
were to go over a terminal, gusts could reach 35 knots. The most
likely time for a storm to impact the terminals is 19-22Z.
Drainage will return for the latter part of the evening but a weak
boundary will move across the terminals shifting winds to the
north or northwest overnight. Isolated storms are again possible
Saturday afternoon with winds being the primary impacts.

afternoon and move across the terminal. Reduced CIGS and VIS
along with gusty outflow are expected with any thunderstorms
that move across the terminal, mainly in the 19-21z time period.
Otherwise, VFR conditions are forecast at the terminal.
KPUB...VFR conditions through the next 24 hours. An outflow
boundary from storms to the north will likely produce
northeasterly wind gusts near 20-25 kts late this afternoon
(23-01z period). Mozley

Afternoon convection is beginning across the region. The
coverage of today`s showers and thunderstorms is not expected to
be as widespread as it was yesterday. As a result, confidence in
TAF site impacts is lower. However, isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms are expected through the evening,
primarily north of I-70. Main threats are gusty wind, lightning,
and small hail. Otherwise, winds are expected to be light and
VFR conditions will prevail.

Issued at 1017 UTC Friday, July 4, 2025
.AVIATION...KSLC...East-southeast to southeast winds will continue
at the terminal through 14Z, thereafter becoming southerly and
more gusty. Isolated thunderstorms will develop in the vicinity of
the terminal as early as 19Z and may periodically impact the
terminal through about 02Z. Any thunderstorms will be capable of
wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and hail up to 1 inch. Temporary
periods of IFR conditions near thunderstorms will be possible.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Afternoon convection will
develop and impact terminals across northern Utah, mainly near and
north of a line from KENV to KU14. Strong winds in excess of 58
mph and hail up to 1 inch will be the main threats, along with
lightning and brief heavy rain. Thunderstorms will develop after
18Z and clear Utah by 02Z. Temporary periods of IFR conditions
near thunderstorms will be possible.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1118 AM MDT Fri Jul 4 2025
Shower and thunderstorms are starting to develop along most
higher elevation mountain ranges currently, and these are
expected to move quickly to the northeast through the afternoon.
Confidence in showers and thunderstorms remains high for today,
so have added TSRA to all TAF sites for some time this
afternoon, trying to focus tempo groups on the best period for
thunder. Any thunderstorms that do form may be accompanied by
brief gusty winds, so have also added some variable gusts into
TEMPO groups. Calmer conditions expected overnight tonight for
all sites. Another round of thunderstorms is expected tomorrow,
but these would be limited more east of the Divide after 18Z/05.

Main aviation concern will be strong to severe thunderstorms in
southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska panhandle this afternoon and
evening. Storms could contain damaging winds and hail. Heavy rain
could also be possible leading to reduced visibility at times. Low
CIGs could also be possible in storms. Storms will dissipate later
tonight, leading to calmer conditions.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1214 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025
Showers and thunderstorms are tracking across western Nebraska this
morning and early afternoon, tracking east across the region. These
showers are bringing MVFR ceilings across most of western and north
central Nebraska, with fluctuations to VFR in breaks in the showers.
This activity is expected to continue throughout the day and into
the evening hours, as a low pressure system tracks out of the
region. This will also bring some gusty winds this afternoon, and
potentially into this evening with thunderstorm activity. Will be
monitoring the potential redevelopment of showers and thunderstorms
overnight, which may bring additional impacts to local terminals.
For now, confidence is low in overnight storm timing and location,
so have omitted from TAFs for the time being.

As of 1725Z, ceilings associated with pervasive stratus have
slowly lifted to 2200-3500 feet AGL (MVFR-VFR). Expect this
trend to continue, with further improvement to VFR this
afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms could potentially affect
either terminal this afternoon, though.. McCook appears
relatively more likely to be affected. South winds at 10-15
knots may become light and variable this evening and overnight.
Winds will shift to the N and increase to 10-15 knots within a
few hours after sunrise Saturday morning.

MVFR ceilings are expected to become VFR this afternoon around
the GCK and LBL terminals with continued cloudiness across the
other sites. A line of thunderstorms are expected to move
through the area this evening allowing for periodic IFR
conditions around the GCK, DDC, and HYS terminals. Winds will
generally be breezy and from a southerly direction today and
may become gusty around thunderstorms tonight. Winds then become
light and variable tomorrow morning.

VFR conditions are expected to persist through 06Z, with chances
for low clouds to move into the southern TX Panhandle impacting
CIGs for KAMA. MVFR to IFR CIGS are possible for KAMA especially
going into the 10Z to 12Z hours Saturday if not sooner. There is
a potential for some patchy fog to develop and lower VIS as well.
KGUY does have a slight chance to be impacted by showers and
thunder this evening between 00Z and 03Z Saturday. Otherwise
expect southerly winds generally less than 10 kts. Any current
winds above 10 kts at this time should come down a bit as the
period progresses.
