AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 517 AM MDT SUN APR 12 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. NO SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST, ALTHOUGH WE WILL SEE SOME HIGH BASED
CUMULUS. THE THREAT OF ANY VARIABLE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS FROM THOSE
22Z-02Z WOULD BE LESS THAN 10%.
WINDS ARE STARTING FROM THE S-SW, AND SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH AT
LEAST 18Z WITH JUST A SLIGHT SW-WSW SHIFT EXPECTED. AFTER 18Z,
WE'LL SEE STRONGER MIXING BUT THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN
DIRECTION WITHOUT MUCH IF ANY DOWNWARD FORCING. WE DO THINK THE
MIXING WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW SW-W GUSTS TO 20-22 KTS AFTER
21Z (SLIGHTLY EARLIER AT KAPA). HOWEVER, THERE'S A 30% CHANCE
WINDS STAY LIGHTER AND EVEN RETAIN A MORE S-SE COMPONENT IN THE
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY RETURN TO MORE S-SW BY 03Z-05Z
MONDAY AND HOLD THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0358 UTC SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
LIGHT, NORTHERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION
TO SOUTHEASTERLY BETWEEN 03-05Z, INCREASING IN MAGNITUDE AFTER
~09Z WITH GUSTS TO 20KTS. GUSTS MAY DROP OFF AT TIMES BEFORE
BECOMING MORE PERSISTENT AFTER 16Z. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
PREVAIL AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL BRING A TRANSITION TO
GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS ACCOMPANIED BY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS AFTER 22- 23Z OR SO. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
FOR MUCH OF THE VALID TAF PERIOD, THOUGH CIGS MAY DROP TO MVFR
WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE/HEAVIER SHOWERS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
WHILE MANY SITES WILL
EXPERIENCE FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT, SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
BEGIN TO INCREASE AFTER 09Z, PARTICULARLY AT SITES DOWNWIND OF
HIGHER TERRAIN. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL FURTHER INCREASE AFTER
16-17Z, WITH GUSTS TO 35-45KTS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. BLOWING
DUST IS POSSIBLE IN PRONE AREAS IN WESTERN UT, REDUCING VIS TO
MVFR AT TIMES. ALTHOUGH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MAY
DEVELOP OVER HIGHER TERRAIN AFTER 18Z, HIGHER COVERAGE SHOWERS
WILL ARRIVE ALONG A COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO
NORTHWESTERN UT AFTER 20Z.
