A BROAD AREA OF SHOWERS IS MOVING OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
NORTHERN VALLEYS AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHWARD THIS
MORNING. EXPECT CEILINGS TO LOWER FOR KRIL, KGJT, KEGE, AND KASE
OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO AS SHOWERS MOVE IN. CIGS AND VIS WILL
DROP TO MVFR, IF NOT IFR, AT TIMES THIS MORNING. ILS BREAKPOINTS
WILL BE MET AS WELL. THOSE SAME TAF SITES WILL SEE CONDITIONS
IMPROVE RATHER QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON. OTHER TAF SITES WILL THEN
SEE THESE SAME CONDITIONS THOUGH MODELS ARE SUGGESTING AFTER 21Z
THAT THE BULK OF MOISTURE WILL HAVE SHIFTED EASTWARD. CLEARING
CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW SOME GUSTY WINDS TO MIX DOWN TO THE

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 518 AM MDT WED MAY 6 2026
A BROAD AREA OF SHOWERS IS MOVING OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
NORTHERN VALLEYS AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHWARD THIS

OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO AS SHOWERS MOVE IN. CIGS AND VIS WILL
DROP TO MVFR, IF NOT IFR, AT TIMES THIS MORNING. ILS BREAKPOINTS
WILL BE MET AS WELL. THOSE SAME TAF SITES WILL SEE CONDITIONS
IMPROVE RATHER QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON. OTHER TAF SITES WILL THEN
SEE THESE SAME CONDITIONS THOUGH MODELS ARE SUGGESTING AFTER 21Z
THAT THE BULK OF MOISTURE WILL HAVE SHIFTED EASTWARD. CLEARING
CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW SOME GUSTY WINDS TO MIX DOWN TO THE
SURFACE THIS AFTERNOON.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0412 UTC WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
ISOLATED SHOWER CHANCES ARE MAINTAINED THROUGH
AROUND 10Z. ONGOING FLOW HAS BEEN SUPPORTING SOUTHERLY WINDS, BUT
SHOWERS AND EASTERLY WINDS DRAINING OUT OF CANYONS MAY RESULT IN
SOME VARIABILITY BEFORE MORE LIKELY SETTLING NORTHERLY AFTER 10Z OR
SO. SHOWER CHANCES DIMINISH THEREAFTER WITH GRADUAL CLEARING AND
MAINTAINED NORTHERLY WINDS INTO THE DAY. WINDS THEN EXPECTED TO
SHIFT BACK SE BY ~03-05Z THU.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH DAWN OR SO, ESPECIALLY AT NORTHERN TERMINALS.
IN ADDITION, NORTHERN TERMINALS NEAR TERRAIN MAY SEE SOME EASTERLY
TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS TRY TO SNEAK IN. WIND DIRECTIONS MAY BE A BIT
VARIABLE FOR A BIT GIVEN THE DIFFERENT INFLUENCES, BUT SHOULD BEGIN
TO SETTLE OUT NORTHERLY BY MID MORNING. TERMINALS WILL THEN SEE A
CLEARING TREND THROUGH THE DAY, WITH WINDS FAVORED TO REMAIN
NORTHERLY. WINDS THEN BEGIN TO FOLLOW A MORE DIURNALLY NORMAL TREND
INTO THE EVENING, EXCEPTING SGU WHICH MAY SEE A PERIOD OF DOWN-
CANYON WINDS DEVELOP NEAR SUNSET.
