AVIATION, ISSUED 608 AM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
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

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1034 AM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS ALL TERMINALS THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER, SMOKE FROM WILDFIRES ACROSS THE PACNW WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME PERIODS OF MVFR TO POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS IF DENSER SMOKE
IS ABLE TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. THERE IS HIGH UNCERTAINTY
REGARDING THE EXACT TIMING AND LOCAL IMPACTS OF THESE PLUMES OF
SMOKE. AS A RESULT, NO TERMINALS CURRENTLY CARRY ANY LINES THAT
LOWER CONDITIONS BELOW VFR. THAT BEING SAID, TEMPO GROUPS OR
AMENDMENTS MAY BE NEEDED DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE SMOKE CAN
IMPACT ANY TERMINALS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. OTHERWISE, WINDS
INCREASE SHORTLY AFTER THE START OF THE PERIOD ACROSS NEARLY ALL
TERMINALS. WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS OF 20
TO 25 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
FRIDAY. KCOD AND KWRL MAY BE THE ONLY TERMINALS TO SEE WINDS
REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT AROUND 10 KNOTS. AFTER SUNSET WINDS SHOULD
DECREASE GRADUALLY ACROSS ALL TERMINALS WITH WINDS ONCE AGAIN
INCREASING NEAR THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD (18Z SATURDAY).
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 ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH MINIMAL
TO NO CLOUD COVER EXPECTED. WINDS HAVE BEEN INCREASING THIS
MORNING, AND GUSTS OF 20 TO 25KTS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL SITES
THROUGH THIS EVENING. WIND GUSTS WILL RELAX AFTER SUNSET FOR
WYOMING SITES, BUT GUSTS 15 TO 20KTS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
NEBRASKA THROUGH MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SMOKE WILL ALSO BE
NOTABLE INTO SATURDAY. VISIBILITIES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 6SM, BUT
SOME GLIDE PATH VISIBILITY MAY BE REDUCED BRIEFLY AROUND SUNSET
TONIGHT.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1220 PM CDT FRI AUG 7 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA THROUGHOUT THE EFFECTIVE TAF PERIOD. THE MAIN
CONCERNS WILL BE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, AS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA,
BRINGING GUSTY, ERRATIC WINDS AND POTENTIAL FOR LOWER CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITY. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IN PLACEMENT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS QUITE LOW, SO WILL OMIT FROM TAFS FOR NOW.
ADDITIONALLY, MAY SEE PATCHY FOG DEVELOP AGAIN IN THE RIVER VALLEYS
AROUND SUNRISE, UNLESS SHOWERS ARE IN THE VICINITY. THIS MAY BRING
BRIEF VISIBILITY CONCERNS TO KLBF IN THE MORNING HOURS, BUT
CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW AT THIS TIME, GIVEN QUESTIONS OF OVERNIGHT
PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL.

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.

VFR FLYING CONDITIONS THIS TAF CYCLE FOR ALL TERMINALS. WEAK LOW
PRESSURE IN NORTHWEST KS IS WREAKING HAVOC ON WINDS ACROSS SOUTHWEST
KS AS ALL MANNERS OF DIRECTIONS AND INTENSITIES ARE BEING REPORTED.
WINDS SHOULD TREND MORE EASTERLY/SOUTHEASTERLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AS THE WEAK LOW DISSIPATES, SUSTAINED IN THE 10-12 KT RANGE.
OVERNIGHT, WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE, FOLLOWED BY AN
INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTH AFTER SUNRISE BACK INTO THE 10-12 KT
RANGE.

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

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.
