SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2305 UTC WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2025
AVIATION...KSLC
A WEATHER SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN FAVORABLE RAIN
CHANCES SETTING IN AFTER AROUND 09Z THU. A LOW BUT NONZERO CHANCE
(~5-10%) OF PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE IS NOTED THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS. AROUND A 30-50% CHANCE OF PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS IS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE PRECIP, BUT PREVAILING MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION.
DESPITE THE SYSTEM, WINDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT (LESS THAN
10 KTS) WITH NEAR TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTIONAL SHIFTS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL BEGIN
OVERNIGHT INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH PRECIPITATION SPREADING ACROSS THE
AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. SNOW LEVELS WILL START AROUND 5000-7000
FT, BUT INCREASE QUICKLY. THAT SAID, VALLEY AREAS WITH LOW LEVEL
THERMAL INVERSIONS AND OTHER WELL SHADED/SHELTERED AREAS WILL SEE A
LOW END CHANCE (~5-15%) OF PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE.
OVERALL, MOST TERMINALS OUTSIDE OF HIGHEST ELEVATIONS WILL SEE RAIN,
WITH PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0500 UTC THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 951 PM MST WED DEC 31 2025
HIGH CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE TONIGHT INTO THE MORNING HOURS.
BY THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON, AIRPORTS WEST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE (INCLUDING JAC, RKS, BPI, AND PNA) WILL BEGIN
TO SEE PRECIPITATION, MOSTLY LIKELY IN THE FORM OF SNOW, WITH
SNOW LEVELS NEAR 6500 TO 7000 FT. EXPECT WIDESPREAD MVFR AND IFR
CONDITIONS THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.
THE FORECAST IS COMPLEX MOVING INTO THURSDAY EVENING, AS WARMER
AIR WILL BE MOVING INTO THE REGION, BUT NORMAL NIGHTTIME
COOLING WILL COMPETE WITH THE WARMER INCOMING AIR MASS. FOR
NOW, HAVE TRENDED A BIT COOLER THAN MOST HIGH-RESOLUTION
GUIDANCE, SHOWING MORE SNOW AND LOWER VISIBILITIES RATHER THAN
A SWITCH OVER TO RAIN (OR RAIN MIX) LATE THURSDAY EVENING. THIS
IS BASED ON PREVIOUS SUCH EVENTS, WHERE DESPITE A SHALLOW WARM
LAYER NEAR THE SURFACE, MODERATE SNOWFALL RATES ARE ABLE TO KEEP
SURFACE PRECIPITATION AS SNOW, THUS IMPACTING VISIBILITY MORE.
SNOW CONTINUES OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING, BEFORE TAPERING
OFF DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE LIKELY TO
PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE DAY FRIDAY.

GLD: VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS WILL RULE THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD, WITH CEILINGS CONFINED TO CIRRUS AT OR ABOVE
13,000 FT AGL.
MCK: AT 0445Z THIS EVENING, THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF
ONGOING IFR CEILINGS IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA WAS LOCATED NEAR AURORA
(~100+ NAUTICAL MILES ENE OF THE MCCOOK TERMINAL). WHILE ONGOING
LOW STRATUS AND/OR FOG WILL LIKELY MAKE SOME PROGRESS TOWARD THE
SOUTH AND WEST BY SUNRISE THU, CURRENT RUNS OF HIGH RESOLUTION
GUIDANCE SUGGEST THAT SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN AT LEAST
~40 NAUTICAL MILES EAST OF THE MCCOOK TERMINAL. WITH THE ABOVE
IN MIND, VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO RULE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.. WITH CEILINGS CONFINED TO
CIRRUS AT OR ABOVE ~18,000 FT AGL.

ISSUED AT 0444 UTC THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1044 PM CST WED DEC 31 2025
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THE TAF PERIOD. THE ONLY
EXCEPTION TO THIS MAY COME AT HYS AROUND 12-16Z. FOG IS FORECAST TO
APPROACH HYS, BUT NOT QUITE REACH IT WITH ENSEMBLES ONLY AT A 10% TO
IMPACT FLIGHT CONDITIONS. IF FOG MOVES FURTHER OR DEVELOPS MORE
BROADLY, VISIBILITIES DOWN TO 1/4 MILE ARE POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE AS A
WHOLE FOR THE AREA, UNDER HIGH PRESSURE WINDS WILL MOSTLY BE LIGHT
(<10 KTS) AND VARIABLE. SOME CLOUD COVER IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH
AROUND 15-18Z, BUT WITH HIGH CEILINGS.
