ISSUED AT 2204 UTC FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1051 AM MST FRI JAN 9 2026
SOME LINGERING LIGHT SNOW AND LOW CLOUDS WILL BE OVER APA AND BJC UNTIL
19Z OR SO. THAT SHOULD BE THE LAST OF THE SNOW FROM THIS SYSTEM AS
THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SNOW IS MOVING WELL TO
THE SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR FORECAST AREA.
MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL MOSTLY CLEAR OUT DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE
AFTERNOON WITH VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REST OF THE TAF. THE
MAIN IMPACT WILL BE WINDS AT ALL TERMINALS. GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY AT DEN AND APA WITH GUSTS UP TO 28
KNOTS. THE WIND SPEEDS WILL WEAKEN SLIGHTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS.
THIS EVENING, WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE. WINDS WILL TURN TO
DRAINAGE AROUND 06Z AND WINDS COULD GUST UP TO 24 KNOTS AT DEN OUT
OF THE SOUTHWEST GIVEN THE CURRENT SNOWPACK CONFIGURATION.
FOR THE FORECAST ON SATURDAY, MODELS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT AS TO
WHETHER THE WINDS WILL BE WESTERLY OR NORTHERLY AT ALL TERMINALS.
GIVEN THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT, IT MAY JUST END UP UP BEING
NORTHWEST WINDS BUT SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS.

AVIATION...KSLC
GENERALLY LIGHT NORTHWESTERLY WINDS CONTINUE
THROUGH AROUND 02-03Z THIS EVENING, TRANSITIONING TO THE SOUTHEAST
THEREAFTER. INCREASED CLOUD COVERAGE WITH BASES BELOW 6000 FEET
WILL LEAD TO PERIODS OF MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION THROUGH THIS EVENING,
BEFORE CLOUDS DISSIPATE OVERNIGHT.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
LIGHT NORTHWESTERLY WINDS
PREVAIL FOR MOST REGIONAL TERMINALS THROUGH THIS EVENING. A LOWER
STRATUS DECK IS PERSISTING OVER THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE
AIRSPACE, AND MAY LINGER ACROSS FAR NORTHERN UTAH THROUGH THE
MORNING SATURDAY. OTHERWISE, DRY CONDITIONS WITH CLEAR SKIES
PREVAIL ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AIRSPACE.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 544 PM CST FRI JAN 9 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA TONIGHT, WITH MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA BY LATE MORNING. TONIGHT, A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS
ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA, BRINGING STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ABOVE THE
SURFACE. THIS WILL BRING FAIRLY WIDESPREAD LLWS CONCERNS ACROSS THE
REGION. TIMING OF THE LLWS IS BASED OFF FORECAST SOUNDINGS, WHICH
HAVE STRONG CONSISTENCY ON TIMING AND INTENSITY. BY MORNING, THESE
WINDS ALOFT BEGIN TO MIX TO THE SURFACE, CREATING GUSTY CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE REGION, ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN
NEBRASKA. MEANWHILE, A DISTURBANCE BRINGS THE RISK FOR LIGHT
SNOWFALL ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA LATE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON, WHERE MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. WITH THE GUSTY
WINDS AND FALLING SNOW, VISIBILITY MAY BE IMPACTED, HOWEVER THIS
WILL BE GREATLY DEPENDENT ON SNOWFALL RATES. BY EVENING,
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN TO VFR REGION WIDE.

(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 524 PM CST FRI JAN 9 2026
MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THE NEXT
3 TO 6 HOURS AS THE WEATHER SYSTEM CONTINUES TO EXIT THE AREA.
CONDITIONS SHOULD QUICKLY IMPROVE TO VFR WITH NORTHERLY WINDS IN
THE 10-15KT RANGE THROUGH ABOUT 12Z. THEREAFTER, WINDS WILL LIKELY
PULL BACK OUT OF THE NORTH IN THE 7-11KT RANGE WITH VFR CONDITIONS
PREVAILING. VCSH IS ALL THAT WE HAVE FOR KDHT AND KGUY, AS
CONFIDENCE IN -SN IS LOW, BUT STILL CANT RULE IT OUT OVER THE NEXT
6 HOURS.
