A boundary is nearly stationary just to west and north of DIA. So
far it hasn`t moved much so winds should continue mainly from the
south this evening. West side of DIA may be more SSW while east
side is SSE. Late tonight winds will decrease by 10z and
eventually go more west by 15z Fri. Winds by early Fri aftn will
become northerly. Finally, there is still a 10% chance of a high
based shower/tstm thru 02z if something develops on the boundary.

.AVIATION....KSLC...Northwesterly winds will continue, likely
decreasing in speed after ~02-03z. Winds may remain northwesterly
overnight around 5kts, though could transition to light and
southeasterly or light and variable after 10-12z. VFR conditions
will continue with mostly clear skies.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...A very weak cold front will
slowly shift southward through the afternoon into central Utah,
likely diminishing heading into the evening hours. Gusty
southwesterly winds will continue through roughly 01-03z ahead of
this front, peaking around 25-35kts across portions of southern
Utah. Behind the front, winds will favor a more northerly direction.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 359 PM MDT Thu May 22 2025
VFR conditions will prevail at all terminals through the period. A
shortwave passage will bring slight chances (20 to 40%) of showers
and isolated thunderstorms across northern WY generally through 03Z,
though storms that have occurred through the afternoon have been
weak, and mostly have been just showers and even virga showers.
Most likely chances will occur at KCOD for thunderstorm impacts,
which could include brief MVFR conditions and gusty and erratic
outflow winds. The gusty outflow winds are also possible at KWRL,
but chances for precipitation or thunderstorms passing over the
terminal are even more unlikely there. There are also slight chances
for showers (10 to 20%) and possibly a thunderstorm (less than 10%
chance of TS) for KRKS and KCPR through 00Z as well, as CAMs and
radar continue to indicate weak convection developing off the Uinta
Mountains and spreading northeastward through the late afternoon and
early evening. Still not enough confidence to include mentions of
these showers in the TAFs.
Winds will be the other notable aviation concern during the period.
Winds will diminish by 02/03Z as diurnal heating is lost and nearly
all sites will see light winds prevail through the rest of the
period. The exception would be the northwest drainage flow at KRIW,
which could continue at 10 to 15ts through much of the night. Winds
are expected to again increase at most terminals by early to mid
afternoon Friday.
At KLND, there continues to be hints at a weak mountain wave. Have
left a TEMPO group and extended it through 04Z to account for this.
At KJAC, most guidance indicates winds will remain
south-southwesterly through the period, and LAMP/MOS guidance has
expectedly backed off on suggestions of switching to northerly flow
overnight, thus have continued to leave prevailing south-
southwesterly flow through the period.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

An upper level disturbance and jet max will push across the area
tonight. This will result in showers and thunderstorms developing
around sunset with storms pushing eastward over the western Nebraska
terminals through 06z tonight.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: Tricky Aviation forecast for the next 18
hours. Although aviation concerns are pretty limited through 00z,
thunderstorms are forecast to develop near KLAR and KCYS between 00z
and 03z and then push eastward into western Nebraska after 03z.
Based on recent high res guidance, confident enough to include VCTS
for the western Nebraska terminals. Brief strong gusty winds, some
moderate to heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning are expected.
Storms should push east of KCDR, KAIA, and KSNY after 07z. Will then
have to worry about low CIGS and IFR conditions developing due to
low stratus at KAIA, KSNY, and KBFF towards 12z early Friday
morning.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through most of the
night. However, around 10-12Z, stratus will start moving in and
will lower ceilings down to low MVFR to potentially IFR
conditions. We are also expecting showers and storms to move
through the area between 12 and 18Z. Once these storms move out,
ceilings will improve. KGLD may have another storm move through
around 0Z tomorrow.

VFR conditions persist through the rest of today at all terminals.
Then during the overnight hours a low level cloud deck is expected
to form across the panhandles including all stations. There is a
very high chance for this deck to cause MVFR conditions with a low
to moderate chance of IFR or worse conditions. Under this deck
there is a moderate chance for light drizzle. This deck is then
expected to clear out during the mid to late morning hours of
Friday. There is then a low chance for thunderstorms in the
panhandles for Friday afternoon and evening. If these storms do
manage to form then there is a low chance that they could turn
severe with strong wind gusts and large hail. Currently it is not
expected for any storm to impact any of the terminals even if they
do manage to form.

VFR conditions will prevail through approximately 05-06Z. A few
showers will continue to try to develop along and east of the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains through 02Z, but will struggle overall
as we`ve already seen this afternoon. After 05-06Z, low clouds
will become a concern across eastern NM. Low clouds will first
develop across northeast NM before expanding west and south
through the early morning hours. MVFR to IFR conditions are
expected. Confidence is moderate to high that low clouds will
affect KTCC, but low to moderate that low clouds will affect KLVS.
A surface low will develop across SE CO Friday and west to
southwest winds will increase by late morning across all of NM.
Low clouds will rapidly diminish during the mid to late morning
hours, then gusty winds will be the rule in the afternoon. Gusts
between 22 and 32kt will be common, with the strongest gusts near
KLVS.
