SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0429 UTC SUNDAY, JULY 19, 2026
AVIATION
KSLC...SOME LINGERING VFR CLOUD COVER GENERALLY ABOVE 10 KFT
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT, WITH WINDS LIGHT OUT OF THE SE. ON SUNDAY,
EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT NW ~17-19Z WITH LESS THAN A 20% CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON CONVECTION DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE TERMINAL. INDIRECTLY,
ANY CONVECTION IN REASONABLE PROXIMITY WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS. IN GENERAL THOUGH, ANTICIPATE VFR
CONDITIONS TO PERSIST WITH WINDS RETURNING SE SUNDAY EVENING.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...CONVECTION AROUND THE REGION
WILL CONTINUE TO FURTHER WANE, WITH ASSOCIATED OUTFLOWS WASHING OUT
AND WINDS RETURNING TO A LIGHT AND DIURNALLY NORMAL TO VARIABLE
DIRECTION. SOME MID TO UPPER LEVEL VFR CLOUD COVER WILL LINGER.
SUNDAY WILL THEN SEE A SIMILAR PATTERN EVOLUTION. AFTERNOON
CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP, WITH THE HIGHEST COVERAGE EXPECTED ALONG
AND ADJACENT TO UTAH'S HIGH TERRAIN. STRONGER ACTIVITY DIRECTLY OVER
AREA TERMINALS WILL BRING AROUND A 20-40% CHANCE OF BRIEF MVFR
CONDITIONS, AND INDIRECTLY WILL RESULT IN GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW
WINDS.
