generally drop off to light terrain driven winds by about 02Z,
the exception being KHDN where gusty northwest winds will hang

.AVIATION....KSLC...Winds are likely to remain out of the west to
northwest through the overnight hours, but may become light and
variable at times, especially around 03-05z and after 10-11z. VFR
conditions will prevail with scattered mid-level clouds clearing
this evening.
.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Most sites will remain dry,
the exception being areas near the UT-ID border (including
KLGU/KBMC) which are likely to see continued showers through
roughly 00-01z. Chances for thunder/lightning and/or outflow winds
are fairly low, around a 20% chance. Westerly winds across much
of the area will lighten up after 02-03z, becoming terrain-driven
overnight. Northern Utah (roughly KPVU and north) may see stronger
northerly winds around 8-12kts this evening and overnight. VFR
conditions will prevail.

A weak weather system will continue to slide east across northern
Wyoming tonight into Wednesday morning. This will keep isolated rain
showers in the area, mainly around KCOD, KJAC, and KWRL. Conditions
may briefly drop to MVFR early Wednesday morning at KCOD as -RA
impacts the terminal at times. With a high likelihood of -RA for a
short period of time a TEMPO to MVFR has been added at KCOD from 11-
14Z Wednesday. A TEMPO to MVFR has also been added at KJAC from 08-
10Z Wednesday as lingering rain showers pass through.
It will remain VFR at all other terminals through the TAF period,
with much less convective activity Wednesday afternoon. There is a
low chance (10-15%) of a stray rain shower or thunderstorm at KCOD
Wednesday afternoon, which is too low for a PROB30 at this time.
Most terminals will have a breezy west/northwest wind develop either
Wednesday morning or Wednesday afternoon. Wind speeds will average
10-15 knots, with gusts of 20-30 knots. Occasional mountain
obscuration to continue around KJAC and KCOD tonight, with
improvement Wednesday morning.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

Still under the influence of the storm system located across the
northern plains over the next 24 hours. This storm is forecast to
retrograde westward into the western Dakotas on Wednesday before
weakening Wednesday night.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR conditions will prevail tonight and
early Wednesday for all terminals. Can't rule out another shower or
quick rumble of thunder for the western Nebraska terminals this
evening, but VIS should remain above 5 miles with CIGS above 5k feet
agl. This activity will linger until 04z and then dissipate. Windy
conditions this evening will diminish overnight, with another period
of gusty winds after 14z Wednesday.

VFR conditions will prevail for the next 24 hours as strong
northwesterly winds will diminish fairly quickly as the sun
sets, becoming light and variable overnight. A few weak
