SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1920 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
PERIODS OF SNOW WITH VARIABLE VIS/CIG BETWEEN IFR
AND MVFR THROUGH ABOUT 22Z, WHEN CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE
TO VFR/OCCASIONALLY MVFR. OCCASIONALLY GUSTY NW WINDS IN THE 20-30KT
RANGE WILL DECREASE THIS EVENING, MAINLY AFTER 00Z, TO 5-12KTS.
LARGEST SOURCE OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE REVOLVES
AROUND LAKE EFFECT POTENTIAL. ANTICIPATE OCCASIONAL PULSES OF
SHOWERS MOVING OFF THE LAKE AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN SALT LAKE VALLEY
AND EXTREME SOUTHERN DAVIS COUNTY. THIS ACTIVITY COULD BEGIN AS
EARLY AS 03Z, OR AS LATE AS 09Z. CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER THAT ANY LAKE
EFFECT ACTIVITY WILL END BY AROUND 12Z FRIDAY MORNING. WITH ANY LAKE
EFFECT SHOWER, QUICK REDUCTIONS IN VIS/CIG TO IFR CANNOT BE RULED
OUT, WITH PERIODS OF VFR IN BETWEEN SHOWERS. PRECIPITATION TYPE
LIKELY A MIX OF SNOW AND GRAUPEL WITH ANY LAKE EFFECT.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING.
STRONG COLD FRONT WORKING
SOUTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL UTAH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE FRONT WILL
EXIT INTO ARIZONA BETWEEN 03-05Z. BURST OF N WINDS IN THE 25-35KT
RANGE HAS BEEN COMMON ALONG/IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT. LOCALLY
STRONGER NW-N GUSTS WILL BE OBSERVED IN WIND-PRONE LOCATIONS SUCH AS
CANYONS AND RIDGETOPS. ACROSS NORTHERN/CENTRAL UTAH AND SW WYOMING,
WIDESPREAD SNOW WITH MVFR TO IFR CATEGORIES AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION
COMMON ACROSS HIGH TERRAIN AREAS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH BETWEEN 00Z-
06Z. EXCEPTION WILL BE PORTIONS OF THE WASATCH RANGE SUCH AS THE
UPPER COTTONWOODS WHERE SNOW AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL CONTINUE
UNTIL AS LATE AS 12Z FRIDAY. PATCHY VFR/MVFR CIGS WILL PERSIST INTO
EARLY FRIDAY EVENING ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH, ESPECIALLY OVER/NEAR HIGH
TERRAIN.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 412 PM MDT THU APR 2 2026
IMPACTFUL AVIATION WEATHER IS FORECAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS,
WITH WIDESPREAD MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO PERIODS OF SNOW,
ALONG WITH BREEZY WINDS GUSTING 20 TO 30 KT. PLAN ON WIDESPREAD
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS. HIT-OR-MISS SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, MOVING ROUGHLY FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION. SNOW LEVELS DECREASE THIS EVENING,
SO RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE BECOME SNOW SHOWERS BY SUNSET. THE CORE
OF THE INCOMING WEATHER SYSTEM REMAINS ON TRACK TO BRING
SEVERAL HOURS OF MORE PERSISTENT SNOW TO WESTERN WYOMING
VALLEYS THIS EVENING, BETWEEN 03/0100Z AND 03/0500Z, INCLUDING
AT SITES SUCH AS KJAC.
AFTER 03/0500Z, SNOW (MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES) WILL DEVELOP
OVER NORTHERN WYOMING BASINS, INCLUDING FOR LOCATIONS LIKE KGEY,
KBYG, AND KWRL. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM WESTERLY TO NORTHERLY FOR
LOCATIONS EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AS SNOW MOVES IN, WITH
GUSTS 30 TO 40 KT ACCOMPANYING THE COLD FRONT. THIS SNOW WILL
CONTINUE WELL INTO THE MORNING HOURS, TAPERING OFF FOR MOST
AROUND 03/1800Z. HOWEVER, LIGHT PRECIPITATION LINGERS LONGER
FOR LOCATIONS IN CENTRAL WYOMING, SUCH AS KCPR, AS PERSISTENT
LIGHT UPSLOPE FLOW REMAINS UNTIL AROUND SUNSET FRIDAY.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2012 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1058 AM MDT THU APR 2 2026
A COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING AVIATION FORECAST TODAY FOR ALL
TERMINALS AS SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE REGION. SCATTERED RAIN AND
POSSIBLY SNOW SHOWERS AT RWL AND LAR WILL MOVE THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON WITH POTENTIAL FOR VIS DROPPING INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY
AND BRIEF IFR CEILINGS IN THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION. THIS
SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING,
AFFECTING CYS WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS, MVFR VIS AND IFR CEILINGS
POSSIBLY IN THE 22-03Z TIMEFRAME. FARTHER EAST, THE NEXT 6 HOURS
WILL END UP MOSTLY DRY IN THE NEBRASKA TERMINALS, HOWEVER AROUND
0Z ONWARD, MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE FOR BOTH CEILING
AND VISIBILITY. A PERIOD OF MODERATE STEADY RAINFALL IS LIKELY
AT BFF, SNY, CDR AND POSSIBLY AIA FROM AROUND 4Z THROUGH 8Z
OVERNIGHT. VERY LOW CONFIDENCE EXISTS IN SPECIFIC TIMING FOR
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY AFTERNOON THUNDER, WITH VERY HIGH
DISPERSION AMONGST SHORT-TERM MODELS SHOWING A VERY SCATTERED
NATURE TO CONVECTIVE SHOWERS.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 906 AM CDT THU APR 2 2026
VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL TERMINALS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WINDS
REMAIN SOUTHWESTERLY AND GUSTING IN THE 20S KT RANGE THROUGH THE
REST OF THE AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL CEASE GUSTING OVERNIGHT BUT
THIS SETS UP SPEED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT ALL TERMINALS. THE LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL END FRIDAY MORNING ONCE THE WINDS BECOME
GUSTY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD
FRONT WILL SEE THE WINDS TAKE A SHARP SHIFT FROM SOUTHWEST - WEST
TO NORTH. THESE NORTH WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY THROUGH THE REST OF
THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON OF FRIDAY. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE FOR THE
FRONT TO STALL AROUND KAMA FOR FRIDAY MORNING. IF THIS OCCURS THEN
THE WINDS WOULD REMAIN WESTERLY FOR KAMA UNTIL THE FRONT PASSES
THROUGH. SINCE THIS IS THE LESSER CHANCE THE TAFS REFLECT THE MORE
LIKELY OCCURRENCE OF THE FRONT PASSING FULLY ACROSS KAMA. THIS
FRONT WILL HAVE A MODERATE CHANCE (30-50%) OF SPAWNING RAIN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO ITS EAST STARTING FRIDAY AFTERNOON,
MAINLY IN THE SOUTHEASTERN TX PANHANDLE. THERE IS A VERY LOW
CHANCE THAT ANY OF THESE WILL IMPACT ANY TERMINAL, THIS REQUIRES
THE SLOWER FRONT THAT STALLS ON KAMA. STILL SINCE THESE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF BECOMING SEVERE THEY WILL POSE A
RISK FOR PILOTS PASSING THROUGH THE EASTERN PANHANDLES ON FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
