AVIATION, ISSUED 610 PM MDT THU OCT 8 2026
KSLC... VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT THE KSLC TERMINAL THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS ARE CURRENTLY FROM THE NORTHWEST BEFORE
SWITCHING TO DIURNALLY-DRIVEN SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AROUND 3Z THIS
EVENING. ON FRIDAY, THERE IS AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD THAT WINDS
REMAIN SOUTHERLY INTO THE AFTERNOON, OR EVEN BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY
BRIEFLY IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AS WINDS AT THE SURFACE ALIGN WITH THE
WINDS ALOFT. A FEW HIGH BASED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP
IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINAL AFTER 1800UTC.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
ACROSS ALL REGIONAL TERMINALS, WITH GENERALLY LIGHT DIURNALLY-DRIVEN
WINDS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN THIS EVENING AND
AGAIN ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS COULD BRING SOME GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS, LIGHTNING, AND A BRIEF MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS.
