DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1950 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1135 AM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
HRRR SMOKE CONTINUES TO SHOW SMOKE AFFECTING ALL THREE TERMINALS
THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD AND BEYOND. THIS COULD LEAD TO SLANTWISE
VISIBILITY ISSUES AT TIMES. FOR TODAY, WINDS WILL FOLLOW A
TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERN WITH INCREASING CLOUD COVER LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON ASSOCIATED WITH STORMS IN THE HIGH COUNTRY. WE EXPECT
WINDS TO STAY UNDER 15 KTS THIS AFTERNOON.
WINDS WILL TURN TO DRAINAGE OVERNIGHT AND THEN TO THE NORTHEAST
BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WIND SPEEDS AND CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE
BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON, AS WELL. THERE IS A LOW (~20%) CHANCE OF
VIRGA SHOWERS AFFECTING THE TERMINALS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, WHICH
COULD LEAD TO SOME GUSTY WINDS OF AT LEAST 30 KTS. THE HIGHEST
CONFIDENCE CURRENTLY LIES NORTH OF KDEN. HAVE LEFT THIS OUT OF
THE TAF UNTIL THERE IS MORE CONFIDENCE AT THE TERMINALS.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION...KSLC
WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE OVER THE
NEXT HOUR OR SO, BECOMING STRONGER OUT OF THE NORTHWEST BETWEEN
1830-1900Z. A TRANSITION BACK TO SOUTHEASTERLY DRAINAGE WINDS IS
EXPECTED AROUND 03-04Z, HOWEVER WINDS MAY ALSO BE LIGHT AND
VARIABLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
MOST OF THE TIME, THOUGH WILDFIRE SMOKE MAY CAUSE SLANTWISE VIS
REDUCTIONS BRIEFLY INTO MVFR, PARTICULARLY AROUND SUNRISE/SUNSET.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AFTER 18-19Z ACROSS PRIMARILY
SOUTHWESTERN UTAH SOUTH OF KDTA AND WEST OF KBCE, THOUGH SOME STORMS
MAY REACH NORTHWARD INTO UTAH COUNTY, POTENTIALLY IMPACTING KPVU
THIS AFTERNOON. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY OUTFLOW
WINDS UP TO 40KTS (UP TO 30-35KTS FURTHER NORTH). OTHERWISE, WINDS
WILL FOLLOW TYPICAL DIURNAL TRENDS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL LARGELY
PREVAIL, HOWEVER WILDFIRE SMOKE MAY CAUSE SLANTWISE VIS REDUCTIONS
BRIEFLY INTO MVFR (OR LOWER VERY CLOSE TO LOCAL WILDFIRES).

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 EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THE PERIOD FOR KMCK AND
KGLD. LINGERING STRATUS IS BURNING OFF NEAR KMCK, BUT IS
SCATTERED ENOUGH TO NOT BE AN IMPACT. THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE OF
FOG AND STRATUS TONIGHT, MAINLY IMPACTING KMCK. WINDS WILL
BECOME EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY THIS AFTERNOON AND REMAIN THAT WAY
UNTIL OVERNIGHT. OVERNIGHT, WINDS WILL GAIN MORE OF A SOUTHERLY
COMPONENT AROUND SUNRISE AND THEN PICK UP. THIS AFTERNOON, WE
ARE EXPECTING SOME OCCASIONAL GUSTS AT BOTH SITES IN THE 20-25
KTS RANGE, WHICH WILL LIKELY RETURN TOMORROW MORNING.

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.

AT THIS TIME, LATEST SATELLITE IS SEEING THE SUBSIDENCE BROUGHT IN
FROM LAST NIGHT'S ACTIVITY WIN ACROSS THE PANHANDLES, WITH ONLY
SOME SCATTER CLOUD DECKS PRESENT ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER, THE
POTENTIAL IS STILL THERE TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS PUSH OFF THE
SOUTHERN FRONT RANGE AND MOVE ACROSS THE WESTERN PANHANDLES LATER
THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. WHILE THE INGREDIENTS ARE THERE
FOR THESE STORMS TO PRODUCE SEVERE TYPE IMPACTS, PRESENT CAMS DO
NOT HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN THEM ACTUALLY REACHING TERMINALS.
GIVEN THIS HAVE ONLY MADE MENTION OF STORMS AT KDHT FOR THE
