Issued at 1132 AM MDT Fri May 31 2024
Low stratus clouds will give way to stratocumulus clouds after
18Z with ceilings slowly rising in the 2500-5000 foot range. Best
chance for thunderstorms will be to the south and east of DEN
where less cloud cover will allow temperatures to warm and help
destabilize the airmass. Still a chance for a storm near DEN and
will continue with the VCTS beginning at 23Z. Threat for storms
ends in the 04-06Z window. Another round of storms are expected
Saturday, beginning 19-20Z. There's a chance for low clouds
09-15Z, though they are expected to stay to north of the Denver
area.

Mainly VFR conditions expected at COS and PUB over the
next 24 hours, with expected storms developing over
the higher terrain this afternoon and pushing east
across the I-25 Corridor into the far southeast Plains
through the evening. Storms across the I-25 Corridor
could become strong, with potential for hail and gusty
outflow winds, with storms strengthening as the continue
to push east into a more unstable environment across the
southeast plains. Currently will keep VCTS in tafs at both
COS and PUB into the early evening, with decreasing clouds
and generally light diurnal winds into the over night hours.
More storm development is expected Saturday afternoon.
VFR conditions expected at ALS over the next 24 hours.
Can't rule out a high based shower or storm passing
near the terminal this afternoon, with gusty winds
the main threat. Clearing skies through the evening
with mainly light diurnal wind regimes expected
through the period.

Isolated to widely scattered shower and thunderstorm development
will occur through the mid evening hours as moisture and strong
heating combine. The main threat will be gusty outflow winds in
excess of 40 mph but the probability of occurrence at a TAF site
is less than 20 percent...so confidence low and only VCTS used
for now with the limited coverage of storms. Otherwise VFR will
be in control over the next 24 hours.

heating combine. The main threat will be gusty outflow winds in
excess of 40 mph but the probability of occurrence at a TAF site
is less than 20 percent...so confidence low and only VCTS used
for now with the limited coverage of storms. Otherwise VFR will
be in control over the next 24 hours.

.AVIATION...KSLC...A light wind is forecast early this morning
with a slight increase in speeds forecast out of the northwest
after 17z. Look for northwest winds and VFR conditions the
remainder of the day.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will
continue today under the influence of weak high pressure. A very
low chance for afternoon thunderstorms (<10%) will exist across
central Utah, potentially impacting PVU and HCR. Similar to
yesterday, gusty westerly winds are forecast to develop across
southwest Wyoming in the afternoon with gusts around 20 to 25
knots. Otherwise, light winds are forecast across Utah today.

VFR conditions will prevail through the period at all terminals.
Skies will remain mostly clear across the region through the period
as well. West to northwest breezes across southwest terminals (KBPI,
KPNA, and KRKS) as well as KCPR and KRIW terminals will develop
early in the period and persist through 00Z to 03Z this evening,
before diminishing to light drainage flows or even light and
variable to calm winds. Winds remain light (less than 10kts) at
all terminals through the rest of the period. SCT to BKN mid-
level cumulus will develop across the south late in the period
(after 15Z Saturday) as a weak disturbance will bring chances
for showers and isolated thunderstorms by Saturday afternoon
across souther portions of the state.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

VFR conditions are expected for most of the 24 hour period,
however lingering showers and thunderstorms this afternoon
across BBW and ANW terminals could impact visiblity briefly. There
could also be brief MVFR or lower conditions if an isolated
thunderstorm moves over a terminal site this evening, however
any widespread thunderstorm activity is low, so have left the
mention out of the tafs for now. Winds become light this evening
out of the southeast around 5 kts through the remainder of the

Residual cloud cover will continue around DDC and HYS which will
lead to MVFR flight category through 20Z. Overnight storms are
forecast to enter into western Kansas after 00Z and will lead to
VCTS for GCK around 03Z and LBL, HYS, and DDC after 06Z. Most of
the thunderstorm activity should exit the area by 12Z and we
will be left with residual cloud cover through 15Z which will be
mainly in the MVFR flight category.

the mid afternoon hours. Then during the late afternoon a lines
of thunderstorms have a high chance of forming in the western
panhandles. These will move in a E to SE direction and will have a
high chance of impacting all terminals during the late afternoon
through evening. These thunderstorms may degrade conditions to
MVFR with a low chance of becoming IFR or less. The is a moderate
chance that ANY hail will occur and a low chance that severe hail
of 1 in or greater will occur. Winds will be gusty with the
passage of these thunderstorms with a low chance of 50+ kt gusts.
