ENHANCED EASTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT KCOS AND KPUB BEFORE
DECREASING OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AT ALL THREE TERMINALS WITH THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND PUSHING OFF INTO THE VALLEYS
AND ADJACENT PLAINS AFTER 21-22Z. KALS AND KCOS WILL HAVE THE
BEST CHANCE OF -TSRA ON STATION, AND WILL CARRY THIS IN A PROB30
GROUP WITH GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS. CHANCE FOR -TSRA AT KPUB STILL
LOOKS LOW, SO WILL KEEP IT AS VCSH FOR NOW. -KT

AND SOUTHEAST UT NOW THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY
WILL BE MORE ISOLATED NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 50 CORRIDOR. STORMS
WILL DECAY INTO STEADY LIGHT RAIN, LIKELY HANGING ON INTO THE
MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL LIKELY KEEP SOME CEILINGS

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0434 UTC WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 2026
AVIATION
KSLC...MONSOONAL PATTERN CONTINUES. OUTSIDE OF PRECIPITATION
INFLUENCES, WINDS WILL FAVOR A DIURNALLY NORMAL PATTERN. GUSTY AND
ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE ESPECIALLY POSSIBLE NEAR
THUNDERSTORMS, WITH MORE MODESTLY GUSTY CONDITIONS WITH SHOWERS.
THERE WILL BE AROUND A 20-30% CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
OVERNIGHT. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THEN INCREASE LATE MORNING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. VFR CONDITIONS FAVORED TO PERSIST,
BUT ANY HEAVIER CELL OVER THE TERMINAL MAY RESULT IN BRIEF PERIODS
OF REDUCED CIGS/VIS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL
PERSIST AS MONSOONAL MOISTURE REMAINS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. AREA WIDE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THEN WILL BEGIN TO ONCE AGAIN INCREASE IN
COVERAGE LATE MORNING ON THROUGH WED EVENING. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
BRING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL, LIGHTNING, GUSTY AND ERRATIC
OUTFLOW WINDS, AND POTENTIALLY SMALL HAIL. OUTSIDE OF PRECIPITATION
AND OUTFLOW INFLUENCES, WINDS AT AREA TERMINALS WILL FAVOR A
DIURNALLY NORMAL PATTERN AND DIRECTION. VFR CONDITIONS ARE ALSO
FAVORED TO GENERALLY PREVAIL, BUT ANY STRONGER CELL DIRECTLY ATOP A
TERMINAL WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF REDUCED CIGS/VIS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 546 PM MDT TUE JUL 21 2026
UPPER-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NORTHEAST COLORADO
TODAY AND TONIGHT, ENHANCING A SOUTHWEST US MONSOON PATTERN
WHICH IS IMPACTING THE GREAT BASIN INTO WYOMING. AFTERNOON
HEATING AND INCREASING MOISTURE HAS BROUGHT ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH ABOUT SUNSET.
PROB30 TSRA CONTINUES IN EVERY TAF TODAY THIS EVENING, BUT
GENERALLY NOW TO 22/04Z. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS WEST-CENTRAL WY AND SPREAD NORTHWARD AND EASTWARD, WITH
A GOOD CHANCE OF MVFR CONDITIONS WITH REDUCED VSBYS AND LOWERED
CEILINGS. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS OF 25-35 KTS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE
AROUND THE STORMS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST WY. WITH SUCH A
MOIST ATMOSPHERE, LOCALIZED FLOODING IS A POSSIBILITY BOTH TODAY
AND TOMORROW. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED AFTER SUNSET THROUGH ABOUT
22/09-12Z FOR MOST OF THE AREA AS WELL. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE (40-60%) OVERNIGHT IN AREAS WHERE MODERATE
PRECIPITATION LEADS TO A VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER.
EARLY MORNING SHOWERS ARE LIKELY AGAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING, WITH
THE BEST CHANCES NORTH OF KCPR AND ACROSS NW WY. MORE NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING, WITH A HIGHER CHANCE OF LOCALIZED FLOODING
GIVEN SUCH A MOIST ATMOSPHERE AND ANOTHER DISTURBANCE MOVING
FROM THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN INTO NORTHERN WY. WINDS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON WILL GENERALLY BE NORTH (EAST OF THE DIVIDE) OR WNW
(WEST OF THE DIVIDE). MODERATE RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE PUSHING THROUGH, IMPACTING KCYS AND IN
AN HOUR OR SO KAIA AND KSNY. EXPECT GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS IN AND
AROUND THESE STORMS AS THEY PUSH THROUGH. THEN, THINGS DRY OUT FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH WIND BECOMING GENERALLY
LIGHT AND VARIABLE, LESS THAN 10 KNOTS. THINGS BEGIN TO CHANGE AS
ANOTHER PUSH OF MONSOONAL MOISTURE SURGES INTO OUR CWA, EXPECT
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE STARTING AROUND
18Z. THESE CHANCES, FOR THE MOST PART, WILL GO THROUGH THE REST OF
THE TAF PERIOD. AGAIN, IN ANY SHOWER AND/OR THUNDERSTORM, EXPECT
GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.

SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH SPEEDS AROUND 10 KTS
OVERNIGHT, AND THEN CLOSER TO 15-20 KTS DURING THE DAY. THERE
MAY BE BRIEF PERIODS OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AROUND 300-600FT AT
KGLD TONIGHT. IN REGARDS TO STORMS/SHOWERS, KMCK HAS A 10-15%
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS AROUND 10-14Z AS A CLUSTER TRIES
TO PUSH EAST FROM NEAR THE FRONT RANGE. OTHERWISE, KGLD AND KMCK
HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE CLOSER TO THE END OF THE PERIOD AS ANOTHER
CLUSTER IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP NEAR THE FRONT RANGE AND PUSH
EAST. SEVERE WEATHER IS UNLIKELY, BUT WIND GUSTS COULD NEAR
30-50 KTS.
