AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1029 AM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. SMOKE
FROM WILDFIRES ACROSS THE PACNW ARE STILL EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH
THE REGION DURING THE TAF PERIOD. AS A RESULT, ALL TERMINALS ARE
EXPECTED TO SEE SOME REDUCED VISIBILITIES BUT STILL MAINTAIN VFR
CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, PATCHES OF DENSE SMOKE CANNOT BE RULED OUT FROM
MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE AND POSSIBLY CREATING PERIODS OF MVFR TO
EVEN IFR CONDITIONS. AT THIS TIME UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH IN REGARDS TO
THIS OCCURRING AS MODELS ARE DOING A POOR JOB OF FORECASTING THESE
SMOKE PLUMES. OTHERWISE, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME BREEZY ACROSS
NEARLY ALL TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS OF 10 TO 15
KNOTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS AROUND 20 TO 25 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE
AT TIMES. THESE WINDS DECREASE SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WITH LIGHT WINDS
PREVAILING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. WINDS BEGIN TO
INCREASE ONCE AGAIN NEAR THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD WITH NEARLY ALL
TERMINALS SEEING BREEZY CONDITIONS FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES DURING THE TAF PERIOD
ESPECIALLY AS DENSER PLUMES OF SMOKE MOVE ACROSS THE AREA.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1120 UTC THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 520 AM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS ALL TERMINALS FOR THE DURATION OF
THIS TAF PERIOD. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY OF LOW CIGS AND VIS TO
IMPACT KSNY AND KAIA THIS MORNING, BETWEEN NOW AND 15Z, AS A BANK OF
LOW CLOUDS AND FOG/MIST LIES JUST TO THE EAST OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
SITES. KEPT IT OUT OF THE TAFS AT THIS TIME DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE
IF THESE VARIABLES WILL IMPACT THOSE SITES. PARTLY DUE TO THE TIME,
THE SUN IS ABOUT TO RISE AND THEREFORE PUT AN END TO CHANCES OF
LOW CIGS AND VIS ALONG WITH WINDS RAMPING UP.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED TO

AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. UNCERTAINTY PERSISTS REGARDING
LOCATIONS OF DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS DEVELOPMENT AT ALL. IF STORMS
CAN DEVELOP, KVTN COULD SEE SOME GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS AS WELL AS
SOME SMALL HAIL. AT THIS TIME, HAVE KEPT THE MAJORITY OF STORMS JUST
TO THE SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL WITH ONLY A VCTS MENTION. FURTHER TO
THE SOUTH, SOME PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA RESULTING IN SOME MINOR VISIBILITY
REDUCTIONS AT KLBF EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. FOG DISSIPATES BY MID-
MORNING GIVING WAY TO A RETURN TO VFR ACROSS THE REGION.

ISSUED AT 1016 AM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN BY 18Z FOR KGLD AND KMCK.
CLOUD COVER WILL BREAK APART AS THE CEILINGS RISE, HOWEVER THERE
IS A 40% CHANCE THAT PATCHES OF MVFR CEILINGS MAY MOVE OVER A
TERMINAL BETWEEN 18-19Z. WINDS WILL BE SOUTHEASTERLY THROUGHOUT
THE DAY, AND WE COULD SEE SOME GUSTS UP AROUND 20 KTS, BUT WILL
LARGELY BE AROUND 15 KTS. OVERNIGHT, WINDS WILL WEAKEN AND
BECOME MORE VARIABLE BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF FOG AND STRATUS
MOVES IN EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. FRIDAY MORNING, EXPECT MVFR TO
LIFR CONDITIONS RETURNING FOR A FEW HOURS, LINGERING LONGER AT
KMCK. BY 15-16Z, VFR CONDITIONS LOOK TO RETURN. WARM
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND, LEADING TO EVEN LOWER
DENSITY ALTITUDES.

THUNDERSTORMS WERE ONGOING IN VICINITY OF GCK AND DDC TERMINALS
EARLY THIS MORNING TO START THIS TAF PERIOD. THE STORMS WILL
MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY MID-MORNING, BUT LOW STRATUS CLOUDS WITH
CEILINGS IN THE LIFR FLIGHT CATEGORY WILL SLOWLY LIFT THROUGH
IFR AND EVENTUALLY MVFR BEFORE SCATTERING OUT/DISSIPATING IN THE
16-18Z TIME FRAME. LIGHT WINDS ARE FORECAST TODAY AS THE FRONTAL
ZONE REMAINS ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS. ANOTHER ROUND OF
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT MUCH LIKE THIS
MORNING'S ACTIVITY.
