AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 548 AM MDT FRI JUL 3 2026
WINDS HAVE BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE THIS MORNING, WITH KDEN
SHOWING EASTERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS BECOMING MORE PREDOMINANT
AT THIS TIME. THE WEBCAM AT KDEN IS ALSO SHOWING SMOKY SKIES IN
PLACE THAT ARE STILL EXPECTED TO BRING SLANT RANGE VISIBILITY
CONCERNS THROUGH THE MORNING. STILL EXPECTING A FEW HOURS OF LIGHT
AND VRB WINDS BEFORE EASTERLY WINDS TAKE HOLD FOR THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. WHILE CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT THIS
TIME, THERE IS A NONZERO CHANCE THAT A FEW VIRGA SHOWERS PASS OVER
THE TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING, WITH THE BEST
CHANCES FOR KBJC. IF THIS OCCURS, THE BEST CHANCES WOULD BE
BETWEEN 23Z-2Z AND BRING GUSTY VARIABLE WINDS BETWEEN 20-25 KTS.

KSLC, ISSUED 1023 PM MDT THU JUL 2 2026...
SOUTHERLY WINDS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL OVERNIGHT
ALONG WITH SCT TO BKN VFR MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER. A
TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERN FOLLOWS, WITH WINDS SHIFTING NORTHWEST
BETWEEN ~18-21Z FRI, AND BACK SOUTHERLY ~03-05Z SAT. THERE WILL
ONCE AGAIN BE A 10-20% CHANCE OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION, AND
ASSOCIATED GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WHICH WOULD BRING POTENTIAL TO
RESULT IN PERIODS OF MORE VARIABILITY.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...A SIMILAR PATTERN TO THAT OF
THE PRIOR DAY IS EXPECTED. AT NORTHERN TERMINALS, SCT/BKN VFR CLOUD
COVER IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS WILL LARGELY BE MAINTAINED, WHILE
CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED FURTHER SOUTH. NORTHERN
TERMINALS WILL SEE ROUGHLY A 10-30% CHANCE OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION
FRIDAY, BRINGING A CORRESPONDING CHANCE OF GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW
WINDS. OTHERWISE, ANTICIPATE WINDS AT AREA TERMINALS TO LARGELY
FOLLOW A DIURNALLY TYPICAL PATTERN.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 427 AM MDT FRI JUL 3 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS THROUGH 12Z
SATURDAY. A WEAK WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND BRING ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS (A 15 TO
20 PERCENT CHANCE) TO THE TERMINALS IN THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION
OF THE CWA (KJAC, KBPI, KPNA, KCOD, KRIW AND KLND). AT THE OTHER
TERMINALS, THE CHANCE IS LESS THAN 15 PERCENT. THE MAIN THREAT
FROM ANY SHOWER OR STORM WILL BE ERRATIC WIND GUSTS OVER 35 MPH.
OTHERWISE, AFTERNOON BREEZES WITH GUSTS TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS. MOST STORMS WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 20Z
FRIDAY AND 02Z SATURDAY WITH A RAPID DECREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER
SUNSET FRIDAY NIGHT.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.

A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS FAR EASTERN
WYOMING AND THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
DISTURBANCE WILL HELP INITIATE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS,
MAINLY FOR THE WESTERN NEBRASKA TERMINALS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
THIS EVENING.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH RELATIVELY
LIGHT WINDS, EXCEPT NEAR THUNDERSTORMS WHERE GUSTY WINDS AND MVFR
VIS ARE POSSIBLE. KEPT PROB30 GROUPS FOR ALL WESTERN NEBRASKA
TERMINALS BETWEEN 22Z THIS AFTERNOON AND 02Z SATURDAY.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 638 AM CDT FRI JUL 3 2026
EARLY MORNING RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CLEAR KLBF RELATIVELY QUICK IN
THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH DRY CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE DAYTIME.
DIURNAL CUMULUS APPEARS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON BUT SHOULD REMAIN
LOW-END VFR AT KLBF WITH LOWER IF ANY COVERAGE AT KVTN. THIS
AFTERNOON, CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA BUT
LIKELY REMAIN EAST OF THE TERMINALS. LATER TONIGHT, MORE
ACTIVITY WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST BUT HOW FAR EAST IT IS ABLE
TO MAINTAIN ITSELF IS SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION. DID INCLUDE A
MENTION AT KVTN BUT ONLY A PROB30 GROUP AT KLBF WHO MAY REMAIN
JUST SOUTH OF THE ACTIVITY.

AT KMCK...RAIN AND OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER AT KMCK
FOR A FEW HOURS EARLY THIS MORNING BEFORE ENDING. CEILINGS
SHOULD STAY VFR, BUT VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS IN RAIN COULD BE AS
LOW AS 1-3SM AT TIMES. AFTERWARDS, EXPECTING VFR TO PREVAIL
THROUGH THE MID TO LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THERE IS A CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH
BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY AND GUSTY WINDS.
AT KGLD...CEILINGS MAY APPROACH MVFR EARLY THIS MORNING AND
PERHAPS A BRIEF LIGHT SHOWER WITH OUTFLOW FROM THE STORMS TO THE
NORTH. OTHERWISE, EXPECTING VFR TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS HAVE A LOW
PROBABILITY (LESS THAN 20%) OF IMPACTING THE TERMINAL WITH BRIEF
REDUCTIONS IN CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY AND GUSTY WINDS.

ISSUED AT 1018 UTC FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 507 AM CDT FRI JUL 3 2026
EARLY MORNING CLOUDS WILL GIVE WAY TO CLEARING SKIES AFTER 14Z.
CURRENT ONGOING CONVECTION NORTH OF HAYS AT 10Z IS FORECAST TO
STAY NORTH OF THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR TRENDS ON
THIS CONVECTION AND IF NEEDED WILL ADD A BRIEF PERIOD OF
SHOWERS TO THE 12Z TAFS FROM 12Z TO 14Z. AT THIS TIME HOWEVER IF
THE MODELS ARE CORRECT WILL BEGIN THE 12Z TAF WITH NO
PRECIPITATION. GUSTY SOUTH WINDS AT AROUND 20 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS BETWEEN 18Z AND 21Z
TODAY. AFTER 21Z WE WILL BE MONITORING THE POTENTIAL FOR
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. WHAT STORMS TO DO DEVELOP
LATE DAY WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. THIS
WILL NOT ONLY BRING AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AT OR ABOVE
9000FT AGL BUT IT WILL ALSO RESULT IN A SMALL CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS (30% OR LESS). BASED ON THE LATEST MODELS IT
APPEARS THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY STORM TO PASS THE GARDEN CITY
AREA WILL BE FROM 21Z TODAY TO 01Z SATURDAY. FOR DODGE CITY,
LIBERAL AND HAYS, THE BETTER TIMING FOR STORMS WILL BE FROM 01Z
TO 04Z SATURDAY.
