SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1723 UTC FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
WITH A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE,
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE MORNING,
VARYING IN DIRECTION UNTIL DAYTIME HEATING ESTABLISHES A STRONGER
NORTHERLY LAKE BREEZE BY 16 OR 17Z. MOISTURE STREAMING OVER TOP THE
RIDGE WILL ALLOW THIN HIGH CLOUDS TO RESIDE OVER THE AREA, PERHAPS
BUILDING IN DENSITY WITH LOWERING CIGS UNDER BROKEN SKIES INTO
SATURDAY MORNING.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS
THROUGHOUT THE AREA ARE EXPECTED TODAY UNDER A BROAD AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE, THOUGH HIGH CLOUD COVER WILL BE PREVALENT IN ALL BUT THE
FARTHEST SOUTHERN REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA. EXPECT TYPICAL
DIURNALLY DRIVEN WIND SHIFTS IN THE ABSENCE OF MUCH IN THE WAY OF
UPPER LEVEL FLOW. CLOUD COVER WILL BUILD THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
INTO SATURDAY MORNING WITH GRADUALLY LOWERING CIGS, AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR WEAK AND SHOWERY PRECIPITATION MOVING INTO
NORTHWESTERN UTAH BY LATE SATURDAY MORNING - THOUGH CONFIDENCE IN
OBSERVING ANY PRECIPITATION ANYWHERE IN THE FORECAST AREA IS VERY
