AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1208 AM MST WED MAR 4 2026
THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO HAS TAKEN LONGER TO
LEAVE COLORADO THAN EXPECTED WHICH IS MAINLY JUST IMPACTING
OPERATIONS AT APA. CEILINGS AROUND 5,000-7,000 FEET WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH AROUND 08-09Z AT APA. LOW CLOUDS ARE NOT EXPECTED AT BJC
AND DEN. WITH DEW POINTS BETWEEN 32-34 AT ALL THREE TERMINALS AND
LIGHT WINDS, THERE IS A LOW CHANCE OF FOG (20%). IF FOG WERE TO
DEVELOP, VISIBILITY COULD DROP TO A QUARTER MILE. HOWEVER, THE
LIGHT DRAINAGE FLOW SHOULD PREVENT FOG FROM FORMING.
VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING
THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

AVIATION...KSLC
ASIDE FROM A LOW CHANCE (~10%) OF MODERATE VIS
REDUCTIONS OVERNIGHT, VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO LARGELY PREVAIL.
MODELS SPLIT ON POTENTIAL FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WIND SHIFT TO NW,
WITH ANY SUCH SHIFT MORE LIKELY LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING. A
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH BETWEEN ~03-07Z THURSDAY, BRINGING AN
INITIAL SURGE OF NW WINDS ALONG WITH PRECIPITATION AND LOWERED CIGS.
WITH INCREASED COLD AIR AND A PERIOD OF ELEVATED PRECIPITATION
RATES, SNOW MAY MIX IN, RESULTING IN FURTHER REDUCTION TO CIGS/VIS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
BENIGN WEATHER WITH VFR
CONDITIONS AND GENERALLY DIURNALLY NORMAL WINDS TO PERSIST THROUGH
MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A LOW CHANCE (~15-30%)
OF VIS REDUCTIONS AT TERMINALS SUCH AS LGU/EVW EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING. A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO SWEEP THROUGH NORTHERN TERMINALS
LATE WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT, BRINGING A PERIOD OF
STRONGER W TO NW WINDS, PRECIPITATION, AND LOWERED CIGS/VIS
ACCORDINGLY (ESPECIALLY WHERE SNOW CAN MIX IN OR DOMINATE).

CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR A FEW MORE HOURS AS THE
DENSE FOG SEEMS TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT. CONDITIONS ARE
FORECAST TO BE RAPIDLY IMPROVING 16-17Z. USE CAUTION WITH ANY
LOW CLOUDS THIS MORNING AS ICING WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN IN THE
STRATUS AND FOG ACROSS THE AREA.
DODGE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1105 UTC WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 501 AM CST WED MAR 4 2026
SHORT TERM MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THIS MORNING WITH THE
LOW VISIBILITIES FROM FOG GIVING WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS BETWEEN
15Z AND 18Z TODAY AS AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE
BUILDS INTO WESTERN KANSAS. THE LOW CLOUDS WILL ALSO IMPROVE BUT
VFR CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED UNTIL AFTER 18Z. AS THE SURFACE
HIGH BUILDS ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS TODAY THE WINDS WILL BECOME
LIGHT AND VARIABLE BY EARLY AFTERNOON. BY EVENING THESE LIGHT
WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTH SOUTHEAST. THIS SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
START TO DRAW MORE HUMID AIR BACK INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS, WHICH
MAY RESULT IN A RETURN OF LOW CLOUDS AND/OR FOG. AT THIS TIME
HOWEVER THE PROBABILITY FOR FOG AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY IS LESS THAN
20%, SO WE WILL NOT GET TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH PREDICTING A RETURN
TO MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS JUST YET.
