SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2305 UTC WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2025
AVIATION...KSLC
A WEATHER SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN FAVORABLE RAIN
CHANCES SETTING IN AFTER AROUND 09Z THU. A LOW BUT NONZERO CHANCE
(~5-10%) OF PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE IS NOTED THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS. AROUND A 30-50% CHANCE OF PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS IS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE PRECIP, BUT PREVAILING MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION.
DESPITE THE SYSTEM, WINDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT (LESS THAN
10 KTS) WITH NEAR TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTIONAL SHIFTS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL BEGIN
OVERNIGHT INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH PRECIPITATION SPREADING ACROSS THE
AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. SNOW LEVELS WILL START AROUND 5000-7000
FT, BUT INCREASE QUICKLY. THAT SAID, VALLEY AREAS WITH LOW LEVEL
THERMAL INVERSIONS AND OTHER WELL SHADED/SHELTERED AREAS WILL SEE A
LOW END CHANCE (~5-15%) OF PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE.
OVERALL, MOST TERMINALS OUTSIDE OF HIGHEST ELEVATIONS WILL SEE RAIN,

ISSUED AT 451 PM MST WED DEC 31 2025
VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR THE KMCK AND KGLD TERMINALS
DURING THE PERIOD. LIGHT WINDS OVER KGLD AT 5-10 KTS ARE
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH 11Z WHILE
KMCK SHIFTS MORE VARIABLY TO THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST AT ~5 KTS.
DURING THE LATE MORNING TO AFTERNOON HOURS THURSDAY, WINDS WILL
BECOME NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY WITH SPEEDS AROUND 5 KTS. KEPT THE
MENTION OF FREEZING FOG GOING IN THE FORECAST, WHICH MAY IMPACT
KMCK BETWEEN 10-16Z THURSDAY. HOWEVER, THE MOISTURE ADVECTION
DOES LOOK RATHER WEAK AND THE SATURATED LAYER IS QUITE SHALLOW;
ONLY AT THE SURFACE AT BEST. THEREFORE CONFIDENCE FOR ANY ICING
TO OCCUR IS 20% OR LESS FOR KMCK AND HAS BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE
TAFS FOR NOW.
