SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1002 UTC WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST FOR THE KSLC
TERMINAL THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. INCREASING CLOUDS WILL BRING
LOWERING CIGS THROUGH THE DAY, REACHING NEAR 7-8KFT BEHIND A COLD
FRONT WHICH WILL ARRIVE NEAR OR SHORTLY BEFORE 18Z. THERE IS A 30%
CHANCE OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION BRIEFLY FILLING IN OVER THE TERMINAL,
BETWEEN 19-00Z. THIS WOULD MAINLY BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW OR A
RAIN/SNOW MIX, WITH A 20% CHANCE OF BRIEFLY REACHING INTO THE MVFR
CATEGORY. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NORTHWEST WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE
FRONT, WITH A SHIFT BACK TO LIGHT SOUTH AFTER 03-04Z BUT MAY BE
VARIABLE AT TIMES THROUGH THE NIGHT.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST
FOR THE ENTIRE AIRSPACE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. INCREASING CLOUDS
WILL BRING LOWERING CIGS THROUGH THE DAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
FROM NORTHWEST UTAH AROUND 14Z THIS MORNING TO SOUTHEAST UTAH BY
EARLY THIS EVENING. PRECIPITATION WILL FILL IN ACROSS MAINLY
NORTHERN UTAH BEHIND THE FRONT, MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW BUT MAY
BE OCCASIONALLY RAIN/SNOW MIX IN SOME VALLEY LOCALES. LOCAL MVFR TO
BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER/NEAR NORTHERN TERMINALS,
MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. MOUNTAIN TOP OBSCURATIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH DURING THE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY
EVENING TIMEFRAME.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AT KGLD AND KMCK THROUGH
THIS EVENING. THERE ARE INCREASING CHANCES FOR MVFR AND
POSSIBLY IFR CEILINGS AFTER 10Z AT KMCK BEHIND A COLD FRONT WITH
THIS CURRENTLY FAVORED TO REMAIN EAST OF KGLD AT THIS TIME.
THERE IS ALSO A SIGNAL FOR POTENTIAL FOG DEVELOPMENT EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING THAT MAY BRING BRIEF VIS REDUCTIONS AT KMCK TO
MVFR (3-5SM). WINDS ARE EXPECTED TOT REMAIN OUT OF THE WEST AND
SOUTHWEST 7-11KT TODAY, DECREASING AT SUNSET AND EVENTUALLY
SHIFTING TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST AFTER 06Z TONIGHT.
DODGE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1128 UTC WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 527 AM CST WED JAN 28 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD.
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON, EXPECT WESTERLY WINDS 5-10 KNOTS,
SHIFTING SOUTHERLY THIS EVENING, BEFORE AGAIN TURNING OUT OF THE
NORTH INTO THURSDAY MORNING AS LOW PRESSURE TRACKS SOUTH OF THE
AREA. ONLY ADVERSE WEATHER WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
FREEZING FOG TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY MORNING.
PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG IS LOW, BUT SOME ELEVATED
CHANCES OF 3-5 MILE VISIBILITY IS APPARENT, MAINLY AFTER 07Z
THURSDAY. HAVE INCLUDED BR INTO THE DDC AND HYS TAFS TO ACCOUNT
FOR THIS POTENTIAL.

DRY WEATHER HOLDS AGAIN FOR TODAY WITH ALL TERMINALS HOLDING AT
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PACKAGE. HOWEVER, WINDS DOWN AT THE
SURFACE ARE LIKELY TO PICKUP WITH THE APPROACHING FRONT TONIGHT
INTO THURSDAY MORNING. GUST UPWARDS OF 30 KTS ARE POSSIBLE DURING
THIS TIME, WITH SPEEDS EXPECTED TO STAY UP DURING THE OVERNIGHT
AND MORNING HOURS THANKS TO GOOD LOW-LEVEL JET PRESENCE BEHIND THE
FRONT. THIS JET MAY ALSO CAUSE LOW-LEVEL WINDS SHEAR FOR THE
TERMINALS TONIGHT. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO
INCLUDED MENTION IN CURRENT PACKAGE.

VFR PREVAILS AS HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS CROSSES THE STATE, ALONGSIDE
LIGHT PREVAILING WINDS THROUGH THE DAY. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE A
NORTHERLY DRAINAGE WIND BRINGING BREEZY CONDITIONS INTO KSAF THIS

THIS AFTERNOON, SPREADING TO PORTIONS OF THE HIGHLANDS AND EASTERN
PLAINS BRINGING LLWS TO THESE AREAS TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING. DIALED BACK THE MENTION OF FREEZING FOG AT KROW THIS

LIKELY AS HIGH CIRRUS MOVES OVERHEAD.
