AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1029 AM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. SMOKE
FROM WILDFIRES ACROSS THE PACNW ARE STILL EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH
THE REGION DURING THE TAF PERIOD. AS A RESULT, ALL TERMINALS ARE
EXPECTED TO SEE SOME REDUCED VISIBILITIES BUT STILL MAINTAIN VFR
CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, PATCHES OF DENSE SMOKE CANNOT BE RULED OUT FROM
MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE AND POSSIBLY CREATING PERIODS OF MVFR TO
EVEN IFR CONDITIONS. AT THIS TIME UNCERTAINTY IS HIGH IN REGARDS TO
THIS OCCURRING AS MODELS ARE DOING A POOR JOB OF FORECASTING THESE
SMOKE PLUMES. OTHERWISE, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME BREEZY ACROSS
NEARLY ALL TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS OF 10 TO 15
KNOTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS AROUND 20 TO 25 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE
AT TIMES. THESE WINDS DECREASE SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WITH LIGHT WINDS
PREVAILING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. WINDS BEGIN TO
INCREASE ONCE AGAIN NEAR THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD WITH NEARLY ALL
TERMINALS SEEING BREEZY CONDITIONS FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES DURING THE TAF PERIOD
ESPECIALLY AS DENSER PLUMES OF SMOKE MOVE ACROSS THE AREA.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

VFR AND MAINLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD.
EXPECT WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 20 TO 25 KNOTS IN
WYOMING TODAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS IN NEBRASKA WILL WEAKEN AND/OR
BECOME VARIABLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON. LOOK FOR LIGHTER WINDS ALL
ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. A WEAK COOL FRONT WILL TURN WINDS TO
THE NORTH OR NORTHEAST OVER THE HIGH PLAINS FRIDAY MORNING.
WHILE SMOKE WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER THROUGH THE AREA,
CONCENTRATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LOW ENOUGH TO PREVENT
SIGNIFICANT VIS REDUCTIONS.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED TO

AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. UNCERTAINTY PERSISTS REGARDING
LOCATIONS OF DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS DEVELOPMENT AT ALL. IF STORMS
CAN DEVELOP, KVTN COULD SEE SOME GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS AS WELL AS
SOME SMALL HAIL. AT THIS TIME, HAVE KEPT THE MAJORITY OF STORMS JUST
TO THE SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL WITH ONLY A VCTS MENTION. FURTHER TO
THE SOUTH, SOME PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA RESULTING IN SOME MINOR VISIBILITY
REDUCTIONS AT KLBF EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. FOG DISSIPATES BY MID-
MORNING GIVING WAY TO A RETURN TO VFR ACROSS THE REGION.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN BY 18Z FOR KGLD AND KMCK.
CLOUD COVER WILL BREAK APART AS THE CEILINGS RISE, HOWEVER THERE
IS A 40% CHANCE THAT PATCHES OF MVFR CEILINGS MAY MOVE OVER A
TERMINAL BETWEEN 18-19Z. WINDS WILL BE SOUTHEASTERLY THROUGHOUT
THE DAY, AND WE COULD SEE SOME GUSTS UP AROUND 20 KTS, BUT WILL
LARGELY BE AROUND 15 KTS. OVERNIGHT, WINDS WILL WEAKEN AND
BECOME MORE VARIABLE BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF FOG AND STRATUS
MOVES IN EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. FRIDAY MORNING, EXPECT MVFR TO
LIFR CONDITIONS RETURNING FOR A FEW HOURS, LINGERING LONGER AT
KMCK. BY 15-16Z, VFR CONDITIONS LOOK TO RETURN. WARM
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND, LEADING TO EVEN LOWER
DENSITY ALTITUDES.

A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL BE SITUATED JUST SOUTH OF KANSAS

WINDS AT 12 KTS OR LESS THROUGH THE PERIOD. MVFR CIGS (OVC012)

HEATING WHILE SCATTERING OUT. WITH DAYTIME HEATING, SCATTERED FAIR
WEATHER CUMULUS MAY DEVELOP AT KGCK AND KDDC, WITH BASES RISING

PRESENT CAMS CONTINUE TO SEE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DIMINISH THANKS TO A POCKET OF DRY AIR MOVING OVER THE PANHANDLES.
AT THIS TIME BEST CHANCES ARE NOW FOCUSED ACROSS THE WESTERN STATE
LINE, WITH IMPACTS TO TERMINALS UNLIKELY. STILL THE PRESENT MODEL
SOUNDINGS DO SEE HIGH AMOUNTS OF DCAPE PRESENT, WHICH MAKES A
STRONG OUTFLOW WIND GUST OUT OF EVEN A WEAK STORM NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
FOR NOW, HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE MENTION OF STORMS OUT OF THE
CURRENT PACKAGE, WITH EXPECTATION TO STAY VFR INSTEAD.

VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL AND ARE FORECAST TO PERSIST THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. STRONG/ERRATIC WIND GUSTS ARE LIKELY WITH ISO/SCT SHOWERS
AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING, BUT LOW PROBABILITIES OF
IMPACTS AT TAF SITES. GUSTY OUTFLOW MAY IMPACT THE KABQ/KAEG/KSAF
AIRSPACE BETWEEN 01-05Z. OTHERWISE, WINDS WILL BE LIGHT.
