SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2212 UTC FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS, WITH AN INCREASING PROBABILITY OF IMPACTS TO VISIBILITY AFTER
0300Z TONIGHT. WHILE MODELS SUGGEST THE PROBABILITY OF FOG
DEVELOPMENT IS LOW WITH INCREASING CLOUDS OVERHEAD AND SOME DRYING
AT THE LOWER LEVELS, THE COLD POOL LINGERING OVER THE LAKE THIS
EVENING IS LIKELY TO SHIFT BACK IN OVER THE AIRFIELD TONIGHT,
PROVIDING BETTER CONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DENSE FOG AFTER
0500Z AND LINGERING AS LATE AS 1500Z. OTHERWISE, WINDS WILL BE LIGHT
AND FOLLOW TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERNS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST AREA-
WIDE INTO THE EARLY EVENING, THOUGH CAN EXPECT ISOLATED DENSE AND
FREEZING FOG IN MOUNTAIN VALLEYS INCLUDING THE CACHE (KLGU) TO
REDEVELOP A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNSET. FOR SATURDAY, CAN EXPECT THAT
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR AREA-WIDE DURING THE DAY WITH LIGHT
DIURNALLY DRIVEN WINDS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 410 PM MST FRI JAN 30 2026
VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THIS TAF PERIOD WITH NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT. A WEAK WEATHER SYSTEM IS BEGINNING TO ENTER THE STATE AS
OF 23Z FRIDAY, BRINGING MID-LEVEL CLOUD COVER. AS THE SYSTEM
PROGRESSES WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE STATE, THERE EXISTS VERY LOW
LIGHT SNOW CHANCES (LESS THAN 20%) AT KJAC, KCOD, KCPR, AND
KWRL. HOWEVER, THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT THE SURROUNDING
MOUNTAINS WILL SEE LIGHT SNOW SO OPTED FOR A VCSH AT THIS TIME.
ANTICIPATE MOUNTAIN TOP OBSCURATIONS WITH ANY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
OVER THE MOUNTAINS. AT KJAC, BRIEF INSTANCES OF MVFR CEILINGS
CANNOT BE RULED OUT (20%-30% CHANCE) THROUGH 12Z AND THESE
CHANCES ARE REFLECTED IN A SCT030 GROUP.
GUSTY WINDS PERSIST MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THE TAF PERIOD AT KCOD,
KCPR, AND KRKS. THERE IS A 70% CHANCE OF GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
AT KRIW AFTER SUNRISE FRIDAY. RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS ARE
FORECAST AT ALL OTHER TERMINALS.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
