AVIATION
KSLC...A SLIGHT INCREASE IN MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND CLOUDS EXPECTED
FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS, BUT PRECIPITATION CHANCES REMAIN
MINIMAL (LESS THAN 10%). OUTSIDE A SIMILAR CHANCE OF OUTFLOW GUSTS,
WINDS EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT (GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KTS) WITH
DIRECTION SHIFTS AT TYPICAL DIURNAL TIMES. VFR CONDITIONS
ANTICIPATED TO PREVAIL, WITH POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF MODEST VIS
REDUCTIONS NEAR SUNSET AND SUNRISE DUE TO SUN ANGLE COMBINED WITH
SMOKE.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO
START SHIFTING SOUTHEAST, ALLOWING A SLIGHT INCREASE IN MOISTURE. AT
NORTHERN TERMINALS THIS WILL LARGELY BE MIDLEVEL, BRINGING AN
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER ACCORDINGLY. PRECIPITATION AND OUTFLOW
CHANCES REMAIN LOW (10% OR LESS), WITH WINDS OTHERWISE EXPECTED TO
FOLLOW A TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERN. VFR CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED TO
PREVAIL, WITH POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF SLIGHT VIS REDUCTIONS
NEAR SUNRISE AND SUNSET DUE TO SMOKE AND SUN ANGLE. AT SOUTHERN
TERMINALS WHERE A BIT MOISTURE IS NOTED, MORE CLOUD COVER WILL BUILD
IN. MANY SOUTHERN TERMINALS WILL SEE AROUND A 10-30% CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, ALONG WITH GUSTY ERRATIC
OUTFLOW WIND GUSTS. WINDS OTHERWISE WILL FAVOR A DIURNALLY NORMAL
DIRECTION PATTERN.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 531 PM 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 REMAIN BREEZY ACROSS
NEARLY ALL TERMINALS THIS EVENING. 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. WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS
AROUND 20 TO 25 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES. 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 SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 531 PM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD. WHILE A
ROGUE SHOWER/STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT AROUND AIA OR SNY, THE
PROBABILITY IS TOO LOW TO ADD TO THE TAF. OTHERWISE, WIND GUSTS
SHOULD EASE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE DIRECTION MAY BECOME
VARIABLE OVERNIGHT AT TIMES. A WEAK BOUNDARY PUSHING THROUGH THE
PLAINS WILL TURN WINDS TO THE NORTHEAST, AND THEN SOUTHEAST
DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. LOOK FOR GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS
AGAIN AT LAR AND RWL.

(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 137 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2026
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.

ALBUQUERQUE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2328 UTC THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2026
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 522 PM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL GENERALLY FAVOR AREAS SOUTH OF
I-40 00Z THROUGH 03Z, WITH ONLY A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AFTER 03Z
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST HIGH TERRAIN. A FEW OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES COULD
CREATE ERRATIC WINDS AT TIMES AT SITES ALONG THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY THIS EVENING, ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THE EXACT WIND
DIRECTION IS LOW.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON'S ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL FAVOR THE SAME
AREAS AS TODAY (SOUTHWEST HIGH TERRAIN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN). STORMS WILL SLOWLY MOVE TO THE SOUTH AT 5 TO 10 MPH.
