SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION

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 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.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO START THE TAF PERIOD. AROUND 10Z
FOG AND STRATUS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO BOTH TERMINALS. KMCK
HAS HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN FLIGHT CATEGORY IMPACTS. LOWER
CONFIDENCE IN KGLD IN FLIGHT CATEGORY IMPACTS DUE TO THE PATCHY
FOG THAT IS FORECASTED. KGLD DOES HAVE SLIM CHANCE AT SEEING
DENSE FOG, HOWEVER CONFIDENCE ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN
THE TAF AT THIS TIME. VFR CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO BEGIN
MID TO LATE FRIDAY MORNING FOR BOTH TERMINALS AS THE FOG
DISSIPATES.

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.

ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE DIMINISHING ACROSS THE AREA, WITH BRIEF GUSTY,
ERRATIC WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE UNDERNEATH THESE SHOWERS THROUGH 07Z.
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS CONTINUE AT TAF SITES NEAR THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS, AND WILL TAPER OFF THROUGH 09Z OR SO. AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN, MOVING OFF
TO THE ADJACENT HIGHLANDS. GUSTY WINDS, HAIL, AND BRIEF MVFR
VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY IN ANY DIRECT IMPACT. OUTFLOW WINDS ARE
LIKELY TO AFFECT MOST TAF SITES ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A CLUSTER OF STORMS DEVELOP JUST EAST OF
THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. THERE IS MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
THESE OUTFLOWS AFFECTING KABQ/AEG, KSAF, AND KROW, WITH LOWER
CONFIDENCE AT KGUP. THIS CLUSTER OF STORMS ACROSS EASTERN NM MAY
ALSO PRODUCE BRIEF MVFR VISIBILITIES ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR AFTER
00Z.
