RANGE ABOUT 4000 FEET ABOVE THE SURFACE. MOST LIKELY NOT MIXED

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION...KSLC
HIGH CLOUDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH SUNDAY
WITH WINDS GENERALLY LIGHT AND FOLLOWING A DIURNALLY NORMAL PATTERN.
SOUTHERLIES INCREASE SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT AND SOME LOWERING OF CLOUDS
TO AROUND 12 KFT OCCURS. A SYSTEM LIFTING THROUGH WILL THEN RESULT
IN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWER DEVELOPMENT, ALONG WITH A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL HAVE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY
SPORADIC OUTFLOW WINDS, ALONG WITH BRIEFLY REDUCED VIS/CIGS FOR
ANYTHING OVER THE TERMINAL.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
A SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY LIFT
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. THIS WILL IMPACT SOUTHERN
TERMINALS LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE THE EARLY OVERNIGHT WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, BRINGING POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY ERRATIC
OUTFLOW WINDS AND PERIODICALLY REDUCED VIS/CIGS. WHILE SHOWER
CHANCES DECREASE IN THE SOUTH MOVING INTO MONDAY, THIS ACTIVITY THEN
BRINGS SIMILAR IMPACTS TO NORTHERN TERMINALS LATE MONDAY MORNING ON
THROUGH THE DAY. OUTSIDE OF THE INFLUENCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS, WINDS AT AREA TERMINALS GENERALLY FOLLOW A NORMAL
DIURNAL PATTERN.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1945 UTC SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1105 AM MDT SUN MAY 3 2026
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. SOME LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE
AROUND THE ABSAROKA MOUNTAINS NEAR KCOD THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A 20 TO
30 PERCENT CHANCE A SHOWER MOVES OVER KCOD DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE
ENTIRE AREA WILL SEE VERY LIGHT SHOWERS, OR MORE LIKELY VIRGA
SHOWERS, BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z, WITH THE LAST DIMINISHING BY 03Z. ANY
SITE COULD SEE A GUSTY OUTFLOW WIND UP TO 50 KNOTS (HIGH END) FROM
THESE, THOUGH UP TO 30 KNOTS WOULD BE MOST LIKELY.
TONIGHT, A COLD FRONT MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH STARTING AROUND 12Z.
THIS BRINGS A GUSTY NORTH WIND SHIFT TO LOCATIONS EAST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE, WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS AT KCOD AND KWRL.
PRECIPITATION THEN FOLLOWS, THOUGH THE BEST CHANCES HOLD OFF UNTIL
JUST AFTER THE PERIOD, FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON.
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 2017 UTC SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1140 AM MDT SUN MAY 3 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON, EXCEPT DURING THUNDERSTORMS. DAYTIME HEATING PAIRED
WITH A SHORTWAVE MOVING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST IS PROMOTING
CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN RANGES, CEILINGS AROUND
8.5-10 KFT. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE
AND LEAD TO THE FORMATION OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON, PARTICULARLY FOR KCDR, KBFF, AND KAIA. ELECTED TO
INCLUDE KRWL IN A PROB30 THUNDERSTORM GROUP GIVEN SOME MODEL
SUPPORT. COVERAGE IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD, THEREFORE
PROB30 GROUPS WERE LEFT IN THE 18Z TAFS. ANY CONVECTIVE SHOWER
OR THUNDERSTORM RUNS THE RISK OF PRODUCING STRONG, VARIABLE
SURFACE WINDS, LIGHTNING, REDUCED VISIBILITY, AND TURBULENCE.
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AROUND 20Z AND PERSIST UNTIL 03Z.
OVERNIGHT A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN SHIFTING WINDS FROM THE
NORTH AND LOWERING CEILINGS AT TERMINALS. AT THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD RAIN CHANCES BEGIN TO INCREASE AT WYOMING
TERMINALS.
