ISSUED AT 0818 UTC SUNDAY, JULY 26, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1140 PM MDT SAT JUL 25 2026
A SOUTHERLY BOUNDARY IS APPROACHING AT 06Z, BUT THEN WINDS WILL
TURN MORE SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT 09Z-12Z. A QUICKER THAN NORMAL TURN
TO W-NW-N EXPECTED SUNDAY WITH NORTHERLY WINDS PREVAILING 17Z-00Z.
HOWEVER, ISOLATED HIGH BASED CONVECTION WILL LIKELY THROW SOME VRB
WINDS AT THE AIRPORTS ANYTIME 21/22Z-06Z TOMORROW EVENING. WE'VE
INCLUDED A PROB30 FOR THIS POTENTIAL.
RECORD HEAT WILL LEAD TO ABNORMALLY HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE (9,000
FEET OR MORE) DURING THE PEAK HEATING HOURS SUNDAY.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1055 PM MDT SAT JUL 25 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT THE TERMINALS OVERNIGHT WITH
GENERALLY LIGHT DIURNALLY DRIVEN WINDS. KPUB AND KCOS WILL SEE
MORE NORTHEAST TO EASTERLY WINDS IN THE AFTERNOON AROUND 10-15
KTS BEHIND A DIFFUSE BOUNDARY WHICH MAY BE THE FOCUS FOR
AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WILL CARRY VCSH FOR
NOW AT BOTH TERMINALS UNTIL BETTER CONFIDENCE IS GAINED ON -TSRA
POTENTIAL. THIS WOULD BE MOST LIKELY TO BEGIN AFTER 22Z FOR KCOS
AND AFTER 00 OR 01Z AT KPUB. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE BUT WILL TRY TO TIME THE WIND SHIFTS IN PREVAILING
GROUPS FOR NOW. KALS WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR -TSRA AND
HAVE INCLUDED THAT IN A PROB30 GROUP FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
THESE. -KT

AVIATION
KSLC...OUTFLOWS FROM THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH NORTHERN UTAH
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING ENHANCED NORTHWESTERLY WINDS LATE THIS
EVENING AND DELAY THE SOUTHERLY WIND SHIFT UNTIL 06-07Z. GENERALLY
LIGHT DIURNAL WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY. EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
STRONG AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE NEAR THESE
SHOWERS, WITH OUTFLOWS ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH IMPACTING TERMINALS
ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN THIRD OF UTAH WITH GUSTY AND ERRATIC
WINDS THROUGH 06-08Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY PREVAIL, THOUGH
A HEAVIER SHOWER COULD PRODUCE A TEMPORARY VIS REDUCTION ACROSS
FAR NORTHERN UTAH THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. FOR SUNDAY, SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
UTAH WHILE NORTHERN UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING WILL TREND DRIER.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1000 PM MDT SAT JUL 25 2026
ENOUGH MID-LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS OVERNIGHT TO ALLOW FOR
CONTINUED ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER THE NORTHWEST-QUADRANT OF THE
STATE INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP OVER
THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS AFTER 18Z, QUICKLY BECOMING WIDESPREAD BY
20Z/21Z AND PUSHING EAST INTO THE CENTRAL BASINS. PROB30 GROUPS
HAVE BEEN ADDED TO KBPI/KPNA AND KRIW/KLND AND KWRL AS A
RESULT, WITH KJAC AND KCOD STILL UNDER THREAT FROM THESE
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. GUSTY OUTFLOW WIND 35-45KT
WILL AGAIN BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD. CONFIDENCE REMAINS TOO LOW TO
INCLUDE A PROB30 GROUP AT KRKS AT THIS TIME, BUT COULD BE ADDED
IN A FUTURE FORECAST.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ENDING/MOVING EAST OUT OF THE
FORECAST AREA AFTER 00Z MONDAY THROUGH SUNSET. MODEL TRENDS ARE
DEPICTING SCATTERED SHOWERS MOVING NORTHWARD OVER SOUTHERN
PORTIONS AFTER 03Z MONDAY.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC
FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0919 UTC SUNDAY, JULY 26, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1122 PM MDT SAT JUL 25 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO SUNDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
REDEVELOP AFTER ABOUT 20Z SUNDAY AND HAVE THE BEST CHANCES ON
IMPACTING KLAR AND KCYS. HENCE THE PROB30 GROUPS FOR THOSE TWO
SITES. THEREAFTER, PROGRESSING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS, THESE
STORMS WILL MOVE INTO THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE
ON IMPACTS TO A SPECIFIC TERMINAL, FOR THIS TAF FORECAST, KEPT ANY
MENTION OF ACTIVITY OUT FOR NOW. FOR THE 12Z TAFS, ACTIVITY MAY HAVE
TO BE INTRODUCED FOR KBFF AND KAIA, AT LEAST. OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWER
OR THUNDERSTORM, WINDS WILL GENERALLY POSE NO AVIATION THREAT. BUT,
EXPECT GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS IN ANY STORMS IF ONE WERE TO COME
NEAR OR GO OVER A TERMINAL.
