THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE 19Z-23Z AT KBJC AND 20Z TO 24Z AT KDEN AND
KAPA. STORMS WILL BE SCATTERED AND INTERMITTENT DURING THESE TIME
PERIODS, PRODUCING GUSTY AND VARIABLE WINDS. THIS ACTIVITY IS

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1003 UTC WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 359 AM MDT WED JUL 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY. IT WILL BE
ANOTHER DAY OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
AROUND THE AREA (20 TO 40 PERCENT CHANCE), ALTHOUGH COVERAGE
WILL BE LESS. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO PROB30 FOR ALL
TERMINALS EXCEPT KJAC, KPNA AND KBPI. THERE IS AROUND A 15
PERCENT CHANCE FOR THOSE THREE TERMINALS AFTER 19Z TODAY, BUT
NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. THE
MAIN THREAT FROM ANY SHOWER OR STORMS WILL BE WIND GUSTS OVER 40
KNOTS. BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN ANY HEAVIER
THUNDERSTORMS. ALL CONVECTION SHOULD END AROUND 06Z THURSDAY.
OTHERWISE, EXCEPT WIND TO BE BETWEEN 8 TO 12 KNOTS AT ALL
TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 18
KNOTS EXCEPT IN VICINITY OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 1136 UTC WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 536 AM MDT WED JUL 8 2026
THERE ARE SOME LOW CLOUDS AND SOME PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING IN NEAR
KAIA TO TEMPORARILY IMPACT CEILING AND VISIBILITY. PATCHY FOG IS
ALSO DEVELOPING NEAR KCDR TO TEMPORARILY REDUCE VISIBILITIES.
HOWEVER THE FOG/LOW STRATUS SHOULD BURN OFF RELATIVELY QUICK
WITH THIS SUMMER SUN. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO OCCUR
IN TWO PHASES TODAY FOR THE WYOMING TERMINALS. FIRST PHASE LOOKS
TO START THE SHOWER DEVELOPMENT AROUND 19Z FOR KLAR AND 20Z FOR
KCYS. THE SECOND PHASE LOOKS HAVE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH
AFTER 23Z AND CONTINUING THROUGH 03Z. THE PANHANDLE IS EXPECTED
TO HAVE THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN 0Z AND 04Z THIS EVENING. MODELS DO
WANT TO HAVE SOME THUNDERSTORMS DROP SOUTH OVER KCDR AROUND 04Z
FOR THE CLASSIC DAWES CLIPPER. ALL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LOOKS
TO END AROUND 06Z. A NOCTURNAL INVERSION LOOKS TO SETUP AROUND
07Z CAUSING THE WINDS TO BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE UNTIL 12Z
TOMORROW.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 643 AM CDT WED JUL 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE LARGELY EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
A BRIEF PERIOD OF LOW-STRATUS MAY ENVELOPE KVTN AND INTRODUCE
SOME IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS, BUT THIS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO AN HOUR
OR SO.
THEREAFTER, EXPECTING ONLY PASSING MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WITH
GENERAL NORTHEASTERLY WINDS REMAINING FAIRLY MODEST. LATER
TODAY, THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP OUT WEST AND INTRODUCE
THICKER HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS. ONLY KLBF WILL SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR -TSRA
BUT THIS REMAINS LOW CONFIDENCE SO CONTINUE TO COVER WITH A
PROB30. SIGNALS AGAIN POINT TO AT LEAST SOME IFR CONDITIONS IN
OUR NORTH LATE TONIGHT SO DID INCLUDE A MENTION AT KVTN BUT THIS
SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF LBF.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1146 PM MDT TUE JUL 7 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD AT BOTH
TERMINALS.
AT KGLD, THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO RAIN WITHIN
THE FIRST HOUR. RAIN IS EXPECTED TO END AROUND 8Z AT KGLD. FOR
BOTH TERMINALS, LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED THROUGH AT
LEAST 11Z AND POTENTIALLY LAST THROUGH 13-14Z. THEN WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO BECOME LIGHTER AROUND 5-10 KNOTS. FOR KGLD, WINDS
ARE FORECAST TO VEER THROUGH THE DAY FROM OUT OF THE SOUTH TO
OUT OF THE NORTHWEST TO OUT OF THE EAST. FOR KMCK, WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO VARY BETWEEN OUT OF THE SOUTH AND OUT OF THE EAST.
THERE IS A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS FROM 0Z TO THE END OF THE
PERIOD. THESE COULD BE SEVERE.
DODGE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1010 UTC WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 501 AM CDT WED JUL 8 2026
VERY ISOLATED EARLY MORNING CONVECTION NEAR/EAST OF DODGE CITY
AND HAYS WILL MOVE EAST AND DISSIPATE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
CURRENTLY IT APPEARS THAT ANY OF THESE ISOLATED STORMS WILL STAY
FAR ENOUGH EAST OF THE TAF SITES SO NO PLANS TO INCLUDE A
MENTION OF THUNDER AT THIS TIME BETWEEN 12Z AND 14Z. IF
CONDITIONS CHANGE CLOSER TO ISSUANCE WILL ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY...CEILINGS IN THE 9000 TO 15000FT AGL
WILL GIVE WAY TO CLEARING SKIES BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON AS A
SURFACE BOUNDARY MOVES INTO FAR SOUTHWEST KANSAS. THE LOCATION
OF THIS SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL ALSO RESULT IN SOUTHEAST WINDS AT
10 TO 15 KNOTS SHIFTING TO THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST. ALTHOUGH THERE
MAY BE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO (<20%) NEAR THIS SURFACE
BOUNDARY LATE DAY, THE BETTER CHANCE (30-50%) FOR CONVECTION
WILL BE AFTER 02Z THURSDAY AS THUNDERSTORMS CROSS NORTH CENTRAL
AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS. AS THESE STORMS PASS THE SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST AND BECOME GUSTY.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MOSTLY AFTER 00Z TODAY FOR GUYMON
AND DALHART, BUT WON'T RULE OUT A THUNDERSTORM STARTING AROUND
EITHER TERMINAL BETWEEN 21Z-00Z. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE FOR THAT IS
TOO LOW AT THIS TIME. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
STRONG DOWNDRAFTS.
OTHERWISE, EXPECT WINDS TO BECOME BREEZY OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST
DURING THE DAY TODAY, MOSTLY IN THE MORNING BEFORE WEAKENING SOME
IN THE AFTERNOON.
