GRAND JUNCTION AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1144 AM MDT SAT MAY 16 2026
CLOUD COVER IS INCREASING AS LOWER LEVEL CLOUDS ARE POPPING UP
WITH THE ONSET OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION. GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS
UP TO AROUND 40 MPH NEAR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS THE MAIN
CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON. THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
PRIMARILY EXPECTED ALONG AND NORTH OF I-70. ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD AS
A WEATHER SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA. WINDS WILL CALM OVERNIGHT.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO PREVAIL, BUT BRIEF
DROPS TO MVFR ARE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD AT KHDN.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1144 AM MDT SAT MAY 16 2026
CLOUD COVER IS INCREASING AS LOWER LEVEL CLOUDS ARE POPPING UP
WITH THE ONSET OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION. GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS
UP TO AROUND 40 MPH NEAR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS THE MAIN
CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON. THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
PRIMARILY EXPECTED ALONG AND NORTH OF I-70. ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD AS
A WEATHER SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA. WINDS WILL CALM OVERNIGHT.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO PREVAIL, BUT BRIEF
DROPS TO MVFR ARE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD AT KHDN.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1745 UTC SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY UNDER
BROKEN TO OVERCAST MIDDLE AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER. BREEZY
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON HOURS,
WITH PEAK GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE INTO
THE AREA THIS EVENING, BRINGING AN INCREASE IN NORTHERLY WIND GUSTS
TO AROUND 30KTS BY 04Z. THERE IS AROUND A 25-30% CHANCE THAT THIS
FRONT ARRIVES AROUND 03Z. HIGH-BASED SHOWERS WILL ALSO FORM THIS
AFTERNOON, PRIMARILY SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL, BRINGING A LOW END
CHANCE (20%) FOR GUSTY SOUTHERLY OUTFLOWS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE AREA WITH HIGH-BASED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FORMING
THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS. GUSTY AND ERRATIC
OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
BREEZY WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY TODAY, WITH THE NORTHERN
AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA EXPECTED TO SEE BREEZY
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS, MOVING ALONG THE WASATCH FRONT FROM
01-05Z AND BRINGING AN INCREASE IN NORTHERLY WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 30-
35KTS. THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS, BECOMING MORE DIFFUSE AS IT REACHES KCDC.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1644 UTC SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1043 AM MDT SAT MAY 16 2026
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS; HOWEVER, MVFR TO
IFR CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS
PRECIPITATION BEGINS WITH THE INCOMING WEATHER SYSTEM.
TODAY WILL FEATURE BREEZY WINDS AT MANY TERMINALS, WITH ISOLATED
SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. MOST CLOUDS WILL BE HIGH
CIRRUS, BUT SOME MID-LEVEL MOISTURE IS POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN
TO CENTRAL WYOMING. CPR AND RKS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE (ABOUT
30%) OF SEEING A BRIEF PASSING RAIN SHOWER FROM THESE MID-LEVEL
CLOUD DECKS THIS AFTERNOON.
CLOUDS THICKEN AND LOWER TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING, AS WINDS
SHIFT FROM WESTERLY TO NORTHEASTERLY AT MANY SITES. THE DEEPER
MOISTURE AND BETTER CHANCES FOR RAINFALL AND RAIN MIXING WITH
SNOW WILL BE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AS
TEMPERATURES COOL. EXPECT MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS TO BECOME
WIDESPREAD SUNDAY AFTERNOON. IMPACTFUL WINTER WEATHER WILL
AFFECT MANY LOCATIONS BEGINNING SUNDAY NIGHT.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1741 UTC SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1140 AM MDT SAT MAY 16 2026
A COMPLICATED FORECAST FOR THE FIRST 12 HOURS OF THE TAF PERIOD, AS
NUMEROUS ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE
THROUGH EASTERN WYOMING AND THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. CAN EXPECT VFR
AT ALL TERMINALS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS IN THE
VICINITY OF ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN ADDITION TO ERRATIC,
GUSTY WINDS AS HIGH AS 50-60 KNOTS. THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN
WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS ACROSS WESTERN
NEBRASKA FROM 22Z-02Z, WITH ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TERMINALS
WITH THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF BEING IMPACTED (>70% CHANCE) ARE KSNY
AND KAIA ESPECIALLY DURING THIS TIME FRAME. LOWERING CIGS AND A
NEARLY SATURATED BOUNDARY LAYER INTRODUCES THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG AT
KSNY, KAIA, AND KCDR ESPECIALLY IF WINDS REMAIN LIGHT.
KCYS WILL LIKELY BE IMPACTED BY THESE INITIAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AROUND 21Z, ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS LOW (20%) THAT
MATURE CONVECTION WILL IMPACT THE TERMINAL AT THIS TIME, SO
AMENDMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY IN FUTURE UPDATES.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1121 AM MDT SAT MAY 16 2026
FOR KGLD... VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD.
THERE IS A 20-30% CHANCE THAT STORMS MAY FORM NEAR OR OVER THE
TERMINAL BETWEEN 22-02Z. IF THESE STORMS FORM, THEY COULD BE
SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND WIND GUSTS OVER 50 KTS. AFTER 03Z,
THE STORM THREAT SHOULD END AND WINDS SHIFT TO OUT OF THE
SOUTHEAST. THERE MAY BE SOME BRIEF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT 200FT
WITH WINDS POTENTIALLY SWITCHING TO OUT OF THE SOUTH AT SPEEDS
AROUND 40 KTS. FINALLY, THERE IS A LOW CHANCE FOR FOG AND/OR LOW
CEILINGS BELOW 3000FT AFTER 12Z. KEEP AN EYE ON THE WEATHER AS
KGLD IS CLOSE TO A FAIR AMOUNT OF HAZARDS THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
FOR KMCK... VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH ABOUT 10-12Z
WHEN SOME LOWER CEILINGS AROUND 1000FT AND FOG ARE POSSIBLE.
BEFORE THAT, A LINE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE
TERMINAL, LIKELY PRODUCING WIND GUSTS ABOVE 40-50 KTS. THE
CURRENT FORECAST TIME IS 02Z, BUT COULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN
00-04Z. ONCE THE STORMS PASS, THERE MAY BE SOME BRIEF LOW LEVEL
WIND SHEAR AROUND 200-400FT AS WINDS SHIFT TO BE MORE FROM THE
SOUTH AND TRY TO REACH 40 KTS.

VFR/SKC WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD. WINDS WILL TREND
LIGHT SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON. MODEL CONSENSUS IS THUNDERSTORMS
WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AIRPORTS THROUGH THIS PERIOD, SO KEPT
THIS SET OF TAFS DRY. A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO BE
ONGOING NEAR, OR MOST LIKELY NORTH OF, HYS 03-06Z SUN, AND THIS
WILL BE MONITORED. A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE SOUTH
WINDS AFTER SUNSET, AVERAGING 20-30 KTS WITH GUSTS PERSISTING
THROUGH THE NIGHT IN A WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER. INCLUDED LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR IN ALL TAFS 06-12Z SUN. AFTER 15Z SUN, EXPECT
STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS AT ALL AIRPORTS, AVERAGING 25-35 KTS.

THIS TIME. WITH VCTS CONDITIONS, IF TS DEVELOPS AND MOVES OVER TAF
SITES, ERRATIC WINDS ARE POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE, OVERALL WINDS WILL
BE OUT OF THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST AT 10-20 KTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS
