AVIATION
KSLC...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT THE SLC TERMINAL THROUGH THE
DAY, THOUGH THERE IS A CHANCE OF VISIBILITIES BRIEFLY DROPPING INTO
THE MVFR RANGE AT TIMES JUST BEFORE SUNSET AND AFTER SUNRISE GIVEN
WILDFIRE SMOKE LINGERING ACROSS THE REGION. SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST BETWEEN 18Z AND 20Z.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL AT THE SLC TERMINAL THROUGH THE DAY, THOUGH LINGERING
WILDFIRE SMOKE COULD PRODUCE SLANTWISE VIS REDUCTIONS DOWN TO MVFR
ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL UTAH. SITES NEAR LOCAL WILDFIRES COULD
SEE FURTHER REDUCTIONS. ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN OVER SOUTHWEST UTAH THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EARLY EVENING. ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING GUSTY AND ERRATIC THUNDERSTORMS WINDS AS WELL AS
OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1128 PM MDT THU AUG 6 2026
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.
DODGE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1104 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2026
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

CONFIDENCE FOR A PROB30 GROUP AT THIS TIME IS KDHT. IF CONFIDENCE
INCREASES FOR KGUY AND KAMA PROB30 GROUPS MAY BE ADDED IN
SUBSEQUENT TAF ISSUANCES OR AMENDMENTS MAY BE NEEDED AFTER 22Z.

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.
