AVIATION, ISSUED 1050 PM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
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.

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.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 602 AM CDT FRI AUG 7 2026
AVIATION WEATHER WILL BE QUIET THIS TAF PERIOD AS THUNDERSTORM
RISK WILL PUSH AWAY FROM SOUTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL KANSAS.
PREVAILING WIND WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH AS A HOTTER AIR MASS
BUILDS BACK IN FROM THE SOUTH, AND THIS WILL PREVENT DEVELOPMENT
OF LOW STRATUS AND/OR FOG FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. WIDESPREAD
VFR FLIGHT CATEGORY WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TONIGHT AND BEYOND.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS
DECREASING FROM 15 KTS TO 10 KTS AFTER 18Z. A POTENTIAL FOR
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST ACROSS PARTS OF THE

INCREASES FOR KGUY AND KAMA PROB30 GROUPS MAY BE ADDED IN

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 501 AM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN AFTER
18Z TODAY. BRIEF MVFR VISIBILITIES CAN BE EXPECTED FROM ANY
DIRECT HIT TO TERMINALS. THE MAIN CONCERN WITH STORMS TODAY ARE
GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS UP TO 30-35KTS ACROSS A FEW TAF SITES. STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO FORM OFF THE SOUTHERN SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS
AND DELIVER OUTFLOW WINDS TO KSAF AFTER 21Z. STORMS NEAR THE
SANDIA AND MANZANO MOUNTAINS ARE LIKELY TO GIVE KABQ/AEG GUSTY
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS. FOR CENTRAL TAF SITES, THESE OUTFLOW
WINDS MAY PERSIST AS LATE AS 06-09Z. IN EASTERN NM, A CLUSTER OF
STORMS IS FAVORED TO FORM AFTER 00Z, GENERATING SEVERAL OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES. THESE STORMS ARE FORECAST TO PUSH TOWARDS KROW NEAR
AND AFTER 03Z. CURRENTLY, IT'S MOST LIKELY THAT THE OUTFLOW WILL
GET TO KROW, WITH LOWER CONFIDENCE IN PRECIPITATION, HOWEVER
TRENDS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED.
