AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1023 PM MST FRI JAN 30 2026
LOW STRATUS WITH BASES 004-008 IS COVERING MUCH OF THE NORTHERN
I-25 CORRIDOR, WITH SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING SOME SOUTHWARD
SPREAD AT THIS HOUR UNDER W/NW WINDS. THE WIND CIRCULATION CENTER
IS NEAR KDEN BUT HAS MIGRATED SLIGHTLY SE-WARD, AND WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE TO DO SO. AS SUCH, FAVORING A PERIOD OF W TO POSSIBLY NW
FLOW IN THE COMING HOURS FOR KDEN/KBJC, THAT WOULD SUGGEST
INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR FG/BR AND 1/4-2SM VIS AS CIGS 003-005
DEVELOP. CONFIDENCE ISN'T OVERLY HIGH FOR THE VISIBILITY
CONSTRAINTS (~60%), BUT IS HIGHER FOR TIMING OF POSSIBLE IMPACTS
(GENERALLY 08-12Z, WITH POTENTIAL FOR A SLIGHTLY LONGER WINDOW
07-13Z, MAINLY FOR KBJC). RETURN OF DRAINAGE WINDS SHOULD RESULT
IN QUICK CLEARING AFTER 12-13Z ACROSS THE DENVER METRO, WITH
RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS FOR ALL TERMINALS.
DAYTIME WINDS SATURDAY WILL SEE A QUICK SWITCH TO ENHANCED NW FLOW
BETWEEN 17-19Z, WITH A FEW HOURS OF GUSTS APPROACHING OR SLIGHTLY
EXCEEDING 20 KTS POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT A RETURN TO
TYPICAL DRAINAGE PATTERNS LATER IN THE EVENING.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION...KSLC
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS, WITH AN INCREASING PROBABILITY OF IMPACTS TO VISIBILITY AFTER
0300Z TONIGHT. WHILE MODELS SUGGEST THE PROBABILITY OF FOG
DEVELOPMENT IS LOW WITH INCREASING CLOUDS OVERHEAD AND SOME DRYING
AT THE LOWER LEVELS, THE COLD POOL LINGERING OVER THE LAKE THIS
EVENING IS LIKELY TO SHIFT BACK IN OVER THE AIRFIELD TONIGHT,
PROVIDING BETTER CONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DENSE FOG AFTER
0500Z AND LINGERING AS LATE AS 1500Z. OTHERWISE, WINDS WILL BE LIGHT
AND FOLLOW TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERNS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST AREA-
WIDE INTO THE EARLY EVENING, THOUGH CAN EXPECT ISOLATED DENSE AND
FREEZING FOG IN MOUNTAIN VALLEYS INCLUDING THE CACHE (KLGU) TO
REDEVELOP A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNSET. FOR SATURDAY, CAN EXPECT THAT
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR AREA-WIDE DURING THE DAY WITH LIGHT
DIURNALLY DRIVEN WINDS.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 940 PM MST FRI JAN 30 2026
BKN-OVC FL070-120 WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH 12Z. VERY LIGHT SNOW CHANCES (LESS THAN 20%) WILL REMAIN
POSSIBLE AT KJAC, KCOD, KCPR, AND KWRL, AS THESE CLOUDS
PROGRESS FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. HOWEVER, THE
MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS WILL SEE
LIGHT SNOW SO LEFT THE VCSH IN THE FORECAST. ANTICIPATE MOUNTAIN
TOP OBSCURATIONS WITH ANY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. AT KJAC, BRIEF INSTANCES OF MVFR CEILINGS CANNOT BE
RULED OUT (20%-30% CHANCE) THROUGH 12Z AS WELL AND THESE CHANCES
ARE REFLECTED IN A SCT030 GROUP. ADDITIONALLY, TURBULENT WINDS
WILL OCCUR OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS BETWEEN 09Z AND 16Z.
GUSTY WINDS OF 30 TO 35KT ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN AT KCOD
THROUGH 13Z, DECREASING SLIGHTLY TO 25KT AND CONTINUE THROUGH
THE REST OF THE DAY. SIMILAR WINDS OF 25 TO 30KT WILL DEVELOP AT
KCPR AND KRKS AFTER 15Z. THERE IS A 70% CHANCE OF GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS AT KRIW RETURNING FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER 09Z.
STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WITH GUSTS UP TO 40KT WILL DEVELOP IN THE
WAKE OF A COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN JOHNSON COUNTY AFTER
18Z. RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS ARE FORECAST AT ALL OTHER
TERMINALS, WITH WINDS DECREASING ACROSS THE AREA AFTER 00Z.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 0832 UTC SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1040 PM MST FRI JAN 30 2026
FREEZING FOG HAS MOVED IN ACROSS SOUTHEAST WYOMING, IMPACTING KCYS
WITH VLIFR CONDITIONS. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS WITH FZFG DIMINISHING AROUND 09Z. ELSEWHERE, LOW CIGS OF LESS
THAN 2,000 FEET HAVE BEEN PLAGUING THE TERMINALS ACROSS THE NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE ALL AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CIGS SHOULD BEGIN TO LIFT
AROUND 09Z AS A SYSTEM, THAT BROUGHT LIGHT SNOW EARLIER TODAY, MOVES
OUT OF THE AREA. THEREAFTER, VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN AND PREVAIL
ACROSS ALL TERMINALS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS TAF PERIOD. WINDS IN
GENERAL WILL POSE LITTLE TO NO THREAT TO AVIATION OPERATIONS;
HOWEVER, GUSTY WINDS OF 20-30 KNOTS RAMP UP TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING. THIS IS SHORT-LIVED AS WINDS WILL DECREASE TO LESS THAN
10 KNOTS ACROSS ALL TERMINALS BY 02Z SUNDAY.
