SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0455 UTC SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
SPORADIC SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY
MORNING, WHICH COULD BRIEFLY LOWER CIGS BELOW 6KFT. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT, WITH SUNDAY AFTERNOON SEEING
A RELATIVE LULL IN PRECIPITATION, THOUGH CHANCES ARE NON-ZERO. WINDS
ARE LARGELY EXPECTED TO REMAIN A LIGHT SOUTHERLY THROUGH THE NIGHT,
TRANSITIONING TO NORTHWEST AROUND 19-20Z SUNDAY. HOWEVER, NEARBY
SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BRING PERIODS OF VARIABLE WINDS. VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE VALID TAF PERIOD.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SPORADIC SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AND AGAIN SUNDAY
NIGHT, WITH SHOWER COVERAGE BEING MUCH MORE ISOLATED SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. BRIEFLY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN SHOWERS,
ESPECIALLY AT KHCR AND KEVW, OTHERWISE PREDOMINANTLY VFR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS. WINDS WILL GENERALLY SEE TYPICAL
DIURNAL TRENDS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 955 PM MST SAT FEB 28 2026
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KJAC/KRKS/KPNA/KBPI TERMINALS
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT SLOWLY BACKS TO THE SOUTHWEST SUNDAY ALLOWING
FOR THE NEXT BATCH OF MOISTURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN TO REACH WESTERN
WYOMING. CEILINGS GRADUALLY LOWER THROUGH AROUND MIDDAY SUNDAY. KJAC
MAY BEGIN WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX THAT IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE MAINLY TO
RAIN. HOWEVER, IF PRECIPITATION BEGINS AS SNOW IT MAY STAY THAT WAY
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME, MULTIPLE PARAMETERS INDICATE
RAIN AS THE PREDOMINATE PRECIPITATION TYPE UNTIL SUNSET WHEN THE
CHANGEOVER TO SNOW IS LIKELY TO OCCUR. MVFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL
AT KJAC FROM AROUND 20/21Z UNTIL 02/03Z LATE SUNDAY. A PROB30
GROUP IS INCLUDED AT KPNA AND KBPI GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR
SCATTERED AFTERNOON RAIN SHOWERS TO DEVELOP. FOR THE MOST PART,
THESE TERMINALS AND KRKS REMAIN VFR. SURFACE WIND 12-24KTS TO
BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD AT KRKS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CEILINGS BEGIN
TO RISE AND PRECIPITATION DIMINISHES LATE IN THE PERIOD.
MOUNTAIN TOPS OBSCURED AFTER 15Z/SUNDAY.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCPR/KCOD/KRIW/KLND/KWRL TERMINALS
ALL TERMINALS TO BE VFR THROUGH 06Z/MONDAY AS MID/HIGH CLOUD COVER
SWEEPS EAST ACROSS THE REGION. CEILINGS DO LOWER TO BKN080-140
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. SURFACE WIND TO BE LESS THAN 10KTS AT ALL TERMINALS EXCEPT
KCPR WHERE 10-16KT WESTERLY WIND BLOWS FROM 16Z/SUNDAY UNTIL SUNSET.
MOUNTAIN TOPS OBSCURED ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AFTER 15Z/SUNDAY.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZLC AND ZDV FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1040 PM MST SAT FEB 28 2026
MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL BE INCREASING OVERNIGHT
ACROSS THE AREA. RWL AND LAR MAY SEE SOME SHOWERS IN THE AREA,
WHICH WILL HAVE ABOUT A 30% CHANCE TO PRODUCE BRIEF MVFR
CONDITIONS AT RWL DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE TERMINALS WILL BE DEALING WITH SOME LLWS CONCERNS
OVERNIGHT AS STRONG SSW WINDS ARE PERSISTING OVERTOP LIGHTER SE
WINDS AT THE SURFACE. STRONGER GUSTS BREAKING DOWN TO THE
SURFACE CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
CLOUD COVER WILL THIN TEMPORARILY DURING THE DAY SUNDAY, BUT
EXPECT THIS TO INCREASE AGAIN IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS DEVELOPING. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WARM ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT MAINLY RAIN AS THE PRECIPITATION TYPE AT GROUND
LEVEL, BUT BRIEF MVFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
