SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2321 UTC SATURDAY, JULY 18, 2026
AVIATION
KSLC...CONVECTION CHANCES FURTHER DIMINISH INTO LATE SATURDAY
EVENING, WITH WINDS FAVORED TO TREND SE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT (~10-
20% CHANCE MORE EASTERLY BRIEFLY). CLOUD COVER WILL LINGER, BUT
REMAIN VFR GENERALLY ABOVE 10 KFT. SUNDAY WILL SEE A SIMILAR
FORECAST PROGRESSION WITH WINDS EXPECTED TO SHIFT NW ~17-19Z, AND
LOW CHANCES (10-20%) OR CONVECTION DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE TERMINAL.
INDIRECTLY, THERE WILL STILL BE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOWS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...ONGOING CONVECTION WILL WANE
THROUGH THE EVENING, WITH REMNANT OUTFLOWS RESULTING IN PERIODS OF
VARIABILITY TO WINDS AT AREA TERMINALS. TERMINALS EVENTUALLY SETTLE
OUT MORE DIURNALLY NORMAL TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE, WITH LINGERING VFR
CLOUD COVER. THE FORECAST SUNDAY IS NOT TOO DISSIMILAR TO THAT OF
PREVIOUS DAYS. ANTICIPATE WINDS TO INITIALLY TREND DIURNALLY NORMAL,
WITH AFTERNOON CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG THE HIGH TERRAIN AND THEN
SPREADING TO ADJACENT AREAS IN TIME. ASIDE FROM BRIEF PERIODS OF
REDUCED CIGS/VIS FROM ANY STRONGER STORMS DIRECTLY ATOP A TERMINAL,
THIS ACTIVITY WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW
WINDS THROUGH THE DAY.
