AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1144 PM MDT TUE MAR 31 2026
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION. THIS IS
MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF RAIN RIGHT NOW, BUT TONIGHT AND THIS
MORNING A TRANSITION TO A RAIN AND SNOW MIX, OR JUST SNOW, IS
POSSIBLE IN HIGHER ELEVATION AREAS. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE DAY, GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING AFTER 00Z. THIS WILL CAUSE MVFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS,
AND DROPS BELOW ILS BREAKPOINTS. STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED
AT MOST TAF SITES, ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON AS WELL.

WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION. THIS IS
MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF RAIN RIGHT NOW, BUT TONIGHT AND THIS
MORNING A TRANSITION TO A RAIN AND SNOW MIX, OR JUST SNOW, IS
POSSIBLE IN HIGHER ELEVATION AREAS. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE DAY, GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING AFTER 00Z. THIS WILL CAUSE MVFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS,
AND DROPS BELOW ILS BREAKPOINTS. STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED
AT MOST TAF SITES, ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON AS WELL.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0418 UTC WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE VICINITY OF THE SLC
TERMINAL WILL RESULT IN SOME OCCASIONALLY GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. WINDS SHOULD BE PREDOMINATELY
WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY BEFORE SOUTHERLY WINDS BECOME MORE
FAVORABLE BY ABOUT 06Z. SHOWERS WILL SHIFT TO STEADY RAIN
OVERNIGHT, MOST LIKELY BEGINNING BETWEEN 08Z AND 10Z, PERSISTING
THROUGH THE MORNING BEFORE PRECIPITATION BECOMES MORE SHOWERY
AGAIN. THERE IS A 40-60 PERCENT CHANCE OF MVFR CONDITIONS DURING
THIS TIME.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE
AIRSPACE WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND STEADY OVERNIGHT, RESULTING
IN WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS, WITH IFR CONDITIONS OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE OCCASIONALLY GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WITH SHOWERS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. PRECIPITATION
WILL BECOME MORE SHOWERY DURING THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON BEFORE TAPERING OFF.

WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
A SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE AREA TODAY, LEADING TO MVFR TO
IFR CONDITIONS AT TERMINALS FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD. THE MORNING WILL
BRING THE MOST WIDESPREAD IMPACTS, ESPECIALLY WITH CEILINGS. THE
AFTERNOON HOURS WILL SEE LESS PERSISTENT IMPACTS AT TERMINALS AS
PRECIPITATION BECOMES MORE SCATTERED AND TRANSITIONS TO ALL RAIN.
THIS WAVE WILL MOVE OUT AROUND 00Z, BRINGING A SHORT BREAK BEFORE
THE NEXT SYSTEM PUSHES INTO WESTERN WYOMING. THIS WILL RETURN IFR
CONDITIONS TO KJAC, KBPI, AND KPNA AFTER 08Z THURSDAY.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
A SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE AREA TODAY, LEADING TO PERIODS
OF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AT TERMINALS. WITH PRECIPITATION FALLING
AS RAIN, LOWER CEILINGS WILL BE THE MOST WIDESPREAD IMPACT. HOWEVER,
CONFIDENCE HAS GENERALLY DECREASED ON PERSISTENT, PREVAILING IMPACTS
THIS AFTERNOON AS RAIN BECOMES MORE SCATTERED, AND HAVE GONE WITH
TEMPO OR PROB30 GROUPS AT SEVERAL TERMINALS. RAIN DECREASES AFTER
00Z THURSDAY AS THIS WAVE MOVES OUT, WITH THE NEXT WAVE BRINGING
MORE PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND LOWER CEILINGS AROUND OR AFTER 12Z.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR

AS OF EARLY THIS MORNING, LATEST RADAR WAS SEEING SOME WEAK
SHOWERS ALREADY STARTING TO MOVE INTO THE FAR NORTHWESTERN
PANHANDLES WITH SOME BROKEN CLOUD DECKS NOT FAR BEHIND. THESE
SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TO REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF THE NORTHERN
TERMINALS THROUGH THE MORNING WITH BETTER CHANCES AT IMPACTS
COMING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CURRENTLY ANY IMPACTS WOULD BE
MINOR AS SHOWERS IN THE AREA WILL BE ON THE LIGHTER SIDE.
OTHERWISE, LOOK FOR STRONG GUST TO BE PRESENT AT KDHT WITH
POTENTIAL SEE SOUTHWESTERLY GUSTS UPWARDS OF 40KT THIS AFTERNOON.

A MOIST STORM SYSTEM CROSSING THE AIRSPACE THE NEXT 24 HRS WILL
CREATE VARIOUS IMPACTS TO AVIATION, INCLUDING; ICING, TURBULENCE,
LLWS, RAIN, ISOLATED STORMS, AREAS OF MVFR, AND MT OBSCURATIONS.
TOP-DOWN MOISTENING WILL ALLOW CIGS TO LOWER OVERNIGHT WITH THE
FIRST WAVE OF LIGHT RAIN AND VERY HIGH TERRAIN SNOW DEVELOPING
NOW ALONG AND WEST OF THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN. THE HIGHEST CHANCE
FOR MVFR AND LCL IFR THRU SUNRISE WILL BE OVER NORTHWEST NM. A
LULL IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY MORNING FOLLOWED BY A SECOND WAVE OF
RAIN AND ISOLATED STORMS AS A PACIFIC COLD FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS
THE REGION WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MT OBSCURATIONS WILL CONTINUE
WITH PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS FROM MORE PERSISTENT RAIN ALONG
AND WEST OF THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN. WEST WINDS WILL BECOME STRONG
AS WELL WITH GUSTS OF 35-45KT EXPECTED OVER EASTERN NM WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. THERE IS A 10-20% CHANCE OF WIND GUSTS >35KT AT KABQ
BETWEEN 1PM AND 5PM. PARTIAL CLEARING WILL OCCUR FROM WEST TO
EAST AFTER SUNSET WITH DECREASING WINDS MOST AREAS. THE EAST
SLOPES OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MTS WILL REMAIN WINDY AS MT WAVE
