A WEAK COOL FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 08Z AND 09Z
WITH A BRIEF SHIFT TO NORTH WINDS. BY 10Z WINDS WILL BE LIGHT
AND VARIABLE. ON SUN, WINDS WILL BECOME S TO SE BY 14Z, HOWEVER,
IT'S NOT CLEAR AS TO WIND DIRECTIONS BY 18Z. IT'S CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE A DENVER CYCLONE WILL DEVELOP WITH A BOUNDARY BISECTING
THE AREA THRU THE AFTN. AS A RESULT MAY SEE VARYING WIND
DIRECTIONS AT DIA AND BJC. APA WILL PROBABLY HAVE A SOUTH WIND BY
16Z WHICH WILL BECOME MORE SW BY 20Z WITH GUSTY WINDS AT TIMES.
FOR NOW, HAVE SHOWN THE DENVER CYCLONE AND ASSOCIATED BOUNDARY TO
STAY NORTH OF DIA SO HAVE KEPT GUSTY SOUTH WINDS BY 18ZX WHICH
WILL BECOME MORE SW BY 21Z. IF CYCLONE AND BOUNDARY STAY SOUTH OF
DIA THEN WINDS MAY HAVE A MORE EAST OR NORTHEAST DIRECTION IN THE
AFTN. FINALLY, REGARDING SMOKE FROM FIRES OVER UT AND WRN CO,
LATEST HRRR MOVES MOST OF IT TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA BY 12Z
AND DOESN'T MOVE IT BACK INTO THE AREA UNTIL SUN NIGHT.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0818 UTC SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2026
AVIATION, ISSUED 1009 PM MDT SAT JUN 27 2026
KSLC...BREEZY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS GRADUALLY TAPER OVERNIGHT,
BECOMING LIGHT AFTER ~9Z. NORTHWEST WINDS REINVIGORATE AFTER 18Z,
WITH GUSTS TO 20 KTS THROUGH THE EVENING. THERE IS A LOW-END (10%)
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS TO IMPACT THE TERMINAL BETWEEN 22-00Z SUNDAY.
OTHERWISE, DRY CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD UNDER A
PERSISTENT MID-LEVEL CLOUD DECK.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR
ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE PERIOD. BREEZY POST-FRONTAL
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ONGOING ACROSS MOST OF THE NORTHERN PORTION OF
THE AIRSPACE WILL TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT. BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS
CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST UTAH OVERNIGHT, BECOMING
STRONG AGAIN WITH GUSTS 30-40 MPH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THERE ARE LOW-
END (10-20%) CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO IMPACT
TERMINALS ACROSS FAR NORTHERN UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WITH MAIN CONCERNS BEING LIGHTNING AND
PERIODS OF DECREASED CIGS.

ISSUED AT 1038 UTC SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 431 AM MDT SUN JUN 28 2026
A FEW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE MAINLY IN SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING,
INCLUDING IN VICINITY OF KRIW, UNTIL AROUND 14Z BEFORE
DISSIPATING. OTHERWISE, LARGELY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
AROUND THE AREA. WE CAN'T RULE OUT AN AFTERNOON SHOWER AROUND
KJAC, BUT WITH THE CHANCE LESS THAN 20 PERCENT WE LEFT IT OUT
FOR NOW. WIND WILL INCREASE AT ALL TERMINALS WITH GUSTS TO 20 TO
35 KNOTS LIKELY AT ALL TERMINALS AFTER 18Z TODAY. MOST LOCATIONS
WILL SEE WIND DECREASE AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT. ANOTHER LINE OF
SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP AFTER 04Z TONIGHT AND LARGELY IMPACT KRKS,
AND SHOULD REMAIN AWAY FROM OTHER TAF SITES. SHOWERS MAY MOVE
BACK INTO KJAC AFTER 10Z MONDAY, BUT MOST SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL
AFTER 12Z.
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TODAY, BECOMING CONFINED
OVER FAR NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS BY 18Z.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE WINDING DOWN AND VFR CONDITIONS AS A WHOLE

SHOULD BECOME AND REMAIN GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KNOTS ACROSS ALL
TERMINALS. HOWEVER, THIS LULL IN WINDS WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS THEY
WILL RAMP UP AGAIN BY 17Z SUNDAY FOR THE WYOMING SITES AND BY 22Z
ACROSS THE NEBRASKA TERMINALS WITH GUSTS 20 TO 30 KNOTS.

GLD: CLEAR SKIES AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL RULE THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. KGLD VELOCITY DATA AT 05Z THIS EVENING INDICATES A ~55
KNOT SSW LOW-LEVEL JET AT ~800 FT AGL. EXPECT LLWS FOR SEVERAL
HOURS, UNTIL 08-10Z, WHEN GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT LOW-LEVEL FLOW
WILL VEER TO THE W AND DECREASE IN MAGNITUDE. 10-15 KNOT S TO
SSW SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE W ~08Z AND PERSIST THROUGH
MID TO LATE MORNING. WINDS WILL BACK TO THE SW AND INCREASE TO
15-20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS BY EARLY AFTERNOON (~18Z). SW
WINDS WILL FURTHER INCREASE TO 20-25 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 30-35
KNOTS DURING THE MID-LATE AFTERNOON (~22Z) AND PERSIST UNTIL
SUNSET (~02Z MON), AT WHICH POINT WINDS WILL BACK TO THE S AND
DECREASE TO 10-15 KNOTS. A STRENGTHENING SSW TO SW NOCTURNAL
LOW-LEVEL JET WILL PRODUCE LLWS DURING THE LATE EVENING, NEAR
THE END OF THE 06Z TAF PERIOD.
MCK: CLEAR SKIES AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL RULE THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. EXPECT 45-50 KNOT SSW TO SW LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR FOR
SEVERAL HOURS, UNTIL 09-11Z, WHEN GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT LOW-
LEVEL FLOW WILL VEER TO THE W AND DECREASE IN MAGNITUDE. 8-13
KNOT SE TO SSE SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SW OR WSW ~09Z
AND PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING. WINDS WILL
BACK TO THE SSW AND INCREASE TO 12-17 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 25
KNOTS DURING THE MID-AFTERNOON AND PERSIST UNTIL SUNSET (~02Z
MON), AT WHICH POINT WINDS WILL BACK TO THE SE AND DECREASE TO
8-13 KNOTS. A STRENGTHENING SSW TO SW NOCTURNAL LOW-LEVEL JET
WILL PRODUCE LLWS DURING THE LATE EVENING, NEAR THE END OF THE

NO MAJOR CHANGES IN AVIATION WEATHER ARE EXPECTED FROM INITIAL

IN THE SOUTHERLY WINDS (MORE SOUTHWESTERLY IN THE AFTERNOON WITH
30+ KNOT GUSTS) WITH WINDS MORE SOUTHERLY AT NIGHT. WINDS WILL
REMAIN FAIRLY STRONG THROUGH THE PERIOD THANKS TO A CONTINUED
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE. GIVEN THE HOT AIR MASS NOW IN
PLACE, FLIGHT CATEGORY WILL REMAIN VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD.
