SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2215 UTC MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
VISIBILITY IN THE LOW END VFR RANGE AT THE
TERMINAL IS EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE INTO THE MVFR RANGE AFTER
SUNSET, MOST LIKELY IN THE 03Z TO 05Z TIMEFRAME, DUE TO
ACCUMULATION OF PARTICULATES FROM VALLEY INVERSIONS. THERE IS A
30 PERCENT CHANCE OF FOG DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT, RESULTING IN
PERIODS OF VISIBILITY IN THE IFR/LIFR RANGE. NORTHERLY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE SOUTHEAST BETWEEN 03Z AND 05Z.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
THE MAJORITY OF THE AIRSPACE
WILL SEE VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE EVENING WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS WILL BE IN VALLEYS PRONE TO INVERSION
CONDITIONS, WHERE ACCUMULATION OF PARTICULATES WILL RESULT IN LOW
END VFR TO HIGH END MVFR VISIBILITIES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
DEVELOPMENT OF FOG AND STRATUS WILL RESULT IN IFR CONDITIONS IN
THE BEAR LAKE AREA OVERNIGHT, WITH A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF
OVERNIGHT FOG REDUCING VISIBILITIES INTO THE IFR/LIFR RANGE IN
OTHER AREAS SEEING INVERSION CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE CACHE
VALLEY AND WASATCH FRONT.
