Will have minor instability today and expect nothing more than
isolated mainly mountain showers and thunderstorms this
afternoon. Will get a strengthening low pressure system to the
south and northerly flow aloft sets up Tuesday with a back door
cold front moving through. After extremely warm highs in the 70s
lower elevations today and 60s mountains will see significant

Some impacts will be a likely Lake Wind Advisory for American

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 941 PM MDT Sun May 3 2026

VFR conditions will continue throughout tonight and most of Monday.
Very little cloud cover will be found tonight, but it will begin to
increase on Monday. Shower and thunderstorm chances will increase
Monday afternoon into the evening as we get more influence with
general troughing over the area as a low moves to our south. Given
that we have a low, but widespread chance of showers and
thunderstorms at all TAF sites except BYI tomorrow, have added more
PROB30 or VCSH with this issuance. Max wind gusts with a storm look
to be around 30 kts.
