VFR conditions are expected over KALS, KCOS, and KPUB throughout
the forecast period. There will be thunderstorms in the vicinity
of KCOS and KPUB during the afternoon, with the best chance for
KCOS to have a thunderstorm develop overhead, potentially
lowering visibility and cloud heights with LIFR conditions
(PROB30 group included in TAF). There is less of that chance
for KPUB. As weak storms do develop over the I-25 corridor gusty
outflow winds are expected to impact bot KCOS and KPUB. The
exact intensity and direction are uncertain at this point, but
our latest thoughts are in the TAF. KALS will have gusty west-
southwesterly winds develop that will weaken at sunset.

Gusty winds of 20 to 25 kts (and localized stronger winds near
thunderstorms) are expected to pick up over the next couple
hours and persist through the afternoon. While most of the
region should remain dry, brief showers and thunderstorms are
possible over KASE, KEGE, KRIL, KGUC, and KHDN today. VFR
conditions will persist nonetheless.

Salt Lake City Aviation Discussion
Issued at 1009 UTC Saturday, August 2, 2025
.AVIATION...KSLC...Generally light southeasterly winds continue this
morning before winds pick up out of the northwest between 17-18z.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across far
northwest Utah this afternoon. While storms are unlikely to move
over the KSLC terminal, outflow winds originating from these cells
are expected to produce a period of gusty northwesterly winds to 30
kts at the terminal between 00-03z.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Winds remain generally light
and terrain driven this morning, with typical breezes developing
this afternoon. Some stronger gusts to 20-25 kts are possible this
afternoon for southern Utah terminals. Showers and thunderstorms are
expected to develop across far northwest Utah this afternoon, which
will be capable of producing gusty and erratic outflow winds at all
northern Utah and southwest Wyoming terminals through the evening
hours. Otherwise, dry conditions prevail across the remainder of the
airspace.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1123 AM MDT Sat Aug 2 2025
The first in a series of shortwaves has been tracking across
southwest Wyoming Saturday morning. Another approaches from the west
later Saturday afternoon, with a final circulation set to trek
eastward across the forecast area tonight. Enough mid-level moisture
exists to generate scattered convection between mainly 20Z/Saturday
and 02Z/Sunday as the second shortwave crosses the region during
peak heating. PROB30 groups are the general rule and have tried
to narrow these to the most likely three- to four-hour periods
at each terminal Saturday afternoon. Moisture is mainly
confined above 500mb as noted on the KRIW and KSLC morning
soundings, therefore gusty outflow wind 30-40kts will be the
primary aviation hazard. The last shortwave is likely to keep a
few lingering light showers through the evening and perhaps into
the early morning hours Sunday across the far north and
southwest. Drier air arrives behind this final disturbance
leading to a quiet Sunday morning.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1151 AM MDT Sat Aug 2 2025
VFR conditions expected to prevail over the next 24 hours.
Another round of thunderstorms possible once again locally
impacting both winds and visibilities as well as bringing MVFR
or lower conditions for a brief period, with strong to severe
activity primarily impacting Southern and Central Panhandle
terminals this afternoon (KSNY, KBFF, KAIA) though all sites
could see thunderstorms nearby. Cloud decks should be generally
mid height, between 5-15k feet, but locally lower decks with
storms also possible. Predominant winds 10-20 knots with some
gusts to 30 knots possible, lessening overnight into tomorrow
morning.

Ceilings will lift above MVFR thresholds this afternoon across
western and north central Nebraska. Scattered thunderstorms are
expected to develop across the western Nebraska Panhandle and
eastern Wyoming late this afternoon. These will move eastward
this evening into western Nebraska. Variable and gusty winds can
be expected in and near any thunderstorm. MVFR ceilings are
expected to develop again tonight, generally along and east of a
line from ANW to BBW.

MVFR ceilings and minor reductions in smoke may persist into the
early afternoon at both KGLD and KMCK before clearing. VFR will
prevail through the afternoon and early evening before storms
move in from the west. If directly impacted by a thunderstorm,
either terminal could see brief gusty winds and reductions in
visibility in rain. A brief period of low clouds will be
possible around sunrise Sunday morning.

Southeast winds will be at 10 to 15 knots over the next 24
hours. Tonight an area of thunderstorms will cross southwest
Kansas. A few of the stronger storms will be capable of
producing locally strong gusty winds, hail and locally heavy
rainfall. Garden City and Liberal has the highest chance for
these storms between 03z and 06z Sunday followed by Hays and
Dodge City between 05z and 08z Sunday. Outside of these storms,
VFR conditions are expected today and tonight, with ceilings
occasionally as low as 5000ft AGL. After 12z Sunday HREF has a
50% chance for ceilings to be 3000ft AGL, especially in the Hays
and Dodge City area.

VFR currently ongoing this hour with another round of
thunderstorms expected to begin developing over the high terrain
b/w 18Z to 20Z. Isolated to scattered coverage of thunderstorms is
expected to roll off to the east of the respective mountain chains
over surrounding lower elevations 20Z thru 03Z. A few PROB30s are
included for KABQ and KSAF for mostly dry more shower activity
that could produce gusty outflow winds. PROB30s at KLVS and KTCC
have a slightly better chance for producing rainfall at these
terminals alongside gusty outflow winds and some lightning
strikes. Conditions calm and clear tonight into Sunday morning.
Stronger scattered storms potentially becoming severe will favor
areas from KRTN to KCAO, perhaps as far south as KTCC this
afternoon and early evening.
