DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1155 UTC SUNDAY, JULY 5, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 542 AM MDT SUN JUL 5 2026
SOUTH TO SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE IN CURRENTLY IN PLACE AT KDEN
AND KAPA THIS MORNING, WITH LIGHT AND VRB WINDS AT KBJC. WEBCAMS
SHOW FAIRLY SMOKY SKIES ACROSS THE AIRFIELD AT KDEN AS PORTRAYED
BY HI-RES GUIDANCE, WHICH COULD CAUSE SOME IMPACTS TO SLANT-RANGE
VIS THIS MORNING.
THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THE TAF PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR SOME GUSTY HIGH-BASED VIRGA SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING, WITH KAPA HAVING THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WITH
ANYTHING THAT DEVELOPS. INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO BE MARGINAL,
WITH JUST ENOUGH FOR A BRIEF THUNDERSTORM TO DEVELOP IN THE
SOUTHERN FOOTHILLS THAT COULD BRING A TS CLOSE TO KAPA, THOUGH
THERE IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER CONFIDENCE THAT ANYTHING THAT FORMS WOULD
WEAKEN BEFORE IT MAKES IT TO THE TERMINAL. AS IT WEAKENS, THERE
WOULD BE POTENTIAL FOR -SHRA WITH GUSTY OUTFLOWS BETWEEN 25-35KTS
WITH ENOUGH DCAPE (1200-1500 J/KG) TO SUPPORT MICROBURSTS. WHILE
THERE IS HIGHER CONFIDENCE FOR IMPACTS AT KAPA, THERE IS STILL A
NON-ZERO CHANCE KDEN/KBJC SEES SOME GUSTY OUTFLOWS, BUT THERE IS
NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO PUT IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME OUTSIDE OF
KAPA. THEREFORE, HAVE INCLUDED VCSH WITH THE EXPECTATION WE SEE
SOME SCATTERED CLOUD DECKS AROUND 12,000' AGL WHILE SHOWERS ARE IN
THE AREA. THE BEST TIMING FOR GUSTY WINDS/MICROBURSTS WOULD BE
BETWEEN 20Z TO 1Z THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
HI-RES GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT SMOKE WILL INCREASE ALONG THE FRONT
RANGE LATE TONIGHT, THEREFORE HAVE REINTRODUCED IT INTO THE TAF
WITH THE EXPECTATION WE SEE SOME SLANT-RANGE VIS CONCERNS RETURN
BY SUNRISE MONDAY MORNING.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1046 UTC SUNDAY, JULY 5, 2026
AVIATION, ISSUED 1032 PM MDT SAT JUL 4 2026
KSLC...SOUTHERLY DRAINAGE WINDS HAVE JUST TAKEN HOLD AT THE TERMINAL
AS OF THIS WRITING. THESE WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A DELAYED WIND SHIFT TO THE NW
TO BETWEEN 20Z-21Z ON SUNDAY. CAN'T RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE
LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY GETTING HUNG UP MID-FIELD FOR AN HOUR OR TWO
AROUND THIS TIMEFRAME AS WELL. SOUTHERLY DRAINAGE FLOW THEN RE
DEVELOPS SUNDAY EVENING BETWEEN 04-05Z ONCE AGAIN.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR ALL
TERMINALS THROUGH THE PERIOD, WITH INCREASING MID AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUD DECK FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. LARGELY LIGHT AND TERRAIN-DRIVEN
WINDS. ONE EXCEPTION MAY BE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING HOURS WHEN VIRGA MAY CAUSE GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS, ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE WEST DESERT AND CENTRAL UTAH. WORST-CASE SCENARIO (LESS
THAN A 10% CHANCE OF OCCURRING) PEAK WIND GUSTS ARE IN THE 40-45 MPH
RANGE.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1018 UTC SUNDAY, JULY 5, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 417 AM MDT SUN JUL 5 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 12Z MONDAY. THE DAY WILL START
DRY BUT A WEAK WEATHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AFTER 20Z TODAY (AROUND A 20
PERCENT CHANCE) IN VICINITY OF KCOD AND KJAC WHERE THE PROB30 GROUP
WAS CONTINUED. WE CAN'T RULE ON OUT AROUND KWRL BUT WITH LESS THAN A
10 PERCENT CHANCE WE LEFT IT OUT FOR NOW. ANY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
WOULD BE MAINLY VIRGA. THE MAIN HAZARD WOULD BE VERY STRONG WIND
GUSTS, POSSIBLY AS STRONG AS 50 KNOTS. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP
INTO NORTHERN WYOMING SUNDAY NIGHT, SWITCHING WIND DIRECTION TO THE
NORTH. OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM, WIND SHOULD REMAIN 12
KNOTS OR LESS FOR THE MOST PART.
