ISSUED AT 0450 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2026
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 SOUTHWESTERN UTAH 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.

ISSUED AT 0440 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1040 PM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD UNDER A DRY
NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW. HOWEVER, WILDFIRE SMOKE MAY OCCASIONALLY
RESULT IN MVFR VISIBILITY THROUGH THE PERIOD. LOW CONFIDENCE ON THIS
PRECLUDES MENTIONING REDUCED VISIBILITY IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW.
WIND WILL INCREASE AGAIN AFTER 18Z, WITH GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS FOR
SEVERAL TERMINALS. LIGHTER WIND PREVAILS AT ALL TERMINALS AFTER
AROUND 02Z SATURDAY.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

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.

AMBIENT CONDITIONS WILL BE VFR AT ALL TERMINALS FOR THE NEXT 24
HOURS. THE BIG EXCEPTION TO THIS WILL BE DURING THE PASSAGE OF A
THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE FOR THESE TO IMPACT KDHT AND
KAMA EARLY THIS MORNING. KDHT CHANCES ARE HIGHER SO IT IS
REFLECTED IN THE TAF WHILE KAMA CHANCES ARE LOWER AND IT IS NOT
REFLECTED IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME. THEN LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS A LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCE
TO IMPACT THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLES. THIS ROUND OF
STORMS IS REFLECTED IN THE KDHT AND KAMA TAFS. THE RAINFALL FROM
THESE STORMS CAN CAUSE MVFR TO IFR VISIBILITIES. THERE IS A LOW
CHANCE FOR THE STORMS TO BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. LASTLY IT REMAINS HOT
ACROSS THE PANHANDLES WHICH CAN CAUSE INCREASED DENSITY
ALTITUDES.

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.
