AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 525 PM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
GOES-19 SATELLITE IMAGERY AT THIS HOUR SHOWS SMOKE OVER ALL THREE
TERMINALS WITH SOME HIGH-BASED CUMULUS CLOUDS MOVING OFF THE
HIGHER TERRAIN, ESPECIALLY IN THE VICINITY OF KAPA. 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.
WINDS WILL TURN TO DRAINAGE OVERNIGHT AND THEN TO THE NORTHEAST
BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WIND SPEEDS AND CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE
BY THEN, AS WELL. THERE IS A ~30% CHANCE OF VIRGA SHOWERS
AFFECTING THE TERMINALS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, WHICH COULD LEAD TO
SOME GUSTY WINDS OF AT LEAST 40 KTS AND BRIEFLY LOWERING CEILINGS
TO ABOUT 12,000 FT AGL. CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED IN THIS
POSSIBILITY AND THUS HAVE NOW INCLUDED A PROB30 AT ALL THREE TAF
SITES GENERALLY BETWEEN 21Z AND 2Z TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
OUTFLOW WINDS FROM THESE SHOWERS SHOULD LEAD TO A PERIOD OF
EASTERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS FOR TOMORROW EVENING FOLLOWING
SUNSET BEFORE DRAINAGE KICKS IN.

AVIATION
KSLC...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL TRANSITION TO SOUTHEASTERLY 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...STORMS IN THE VICINITY OF THE
SOUTHERN TERMINALS SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN AROUND SUNSET, WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS THROUGH ABOUT 04Z. 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 /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 523 PM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
SMOKE REMAINS THE MAIN AVIATION IMPACT THROUGH THE PERIOD. TAFS
WILL PERSIST VFR, THOUGH OCCASIONAL MVFR IMPACTS CONTINUE TO BE
POSSIBLE AND WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR TEMPO ADDITIONS.
OTHERWISE, BREEZY WINDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL WANE AFTER
SUNSET. WIND WILL PICK UP AGAIN AROUND 18Z SATURDAY, WITH GUSTS
OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS AT MOST TERMINALS. WITH A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE
OVER THE AREA, SOME CUMULUS BUILDUP IS EXPECTED SATURDAY
AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING. THIS WILL BRING IN A
SCATTERED CLOUD DECK TO KBPI, KPNA, AND KRKS, AS WELL AS THE
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW VIRGA SHOWERS AND ASSOCIATED GUSTY OUTFLOW
WINDS.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 2352 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 532 PM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
MOST TERMINALS WILL STAY IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD, HOWEVER KSNY AND KAIA MAY EXPERIENCE REDUCED CIGS AROUND
12 TO 15Z. AT KLAR SMOKE IS REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO BELOW 10SM. A
LOW LEVEL JET WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT AROUND THE NEBRASKA
PANHANDLE TERMINALS. A SHALLOW INVERSION NEAR THE SURFACE MAY
KEEP SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ON THE LOWER SIDE, BETWEEN 8 AND 15
KNOTS, WITH GUSTS OCCASIONALLY MIXING TO THE SURFACE UP TO 25
KNOTS. A BYPRODUCT OF THIS INVERSION ARE SOME LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR CONCERNS FOR PRIMARILY KCDR AND KAIA THROUGH 12Z. SURFACE
MOISTURE INCREASES TO NEAR SATURATION AT KAIA AND KSNY WHICH MAY
CREATE A DECK OF LOW CIGS TO AROUND 1KFT AROUND SUNRISE. FOG
SEEMS UNLIKELY, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. WINDS DECREASE BY MORNING
LEAVING MOST TERMINALS VARIABLE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON WHEN
A WIND SHIFT OUT OF THE WEST TO NORTHWEST OCCURS FROM A
RETREATING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS
ARE POSSIBLE LATE AFTERNOON, BUT PROBABILITIES ARE TOO LOW TO
INCLUDE IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL TERMINALS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE
EXPECTION WILL BE DURING THE PASSAGE OF A THUNDERSTORM WHICH CAN
PRODUCE MVFR TO IFR VISIBILITIES FROM HEAVY RAIN. THESE STORMS ARE
OCCURRING MAINLY IN THE WESTERN TO SOUTHERN PANHANDLES THIS
EVENING. KDHT HAS THE BEST CHANCES TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS NEAR OR
ON STATION SO IT IS REFLECTED WITHIN THE TAF. THE CHANCES ARE A
LITTLE LESS FOR KAMA SO THE THUNDERSTORMS WERE NOT REFLECTED IN
THE TAF AT THIS TIME. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE FOR THESE STORMS TO
BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS BEING
THE MAIN THREATS. IT DOES REMAIN HOT ACROSS THE PANHANDLES TODAY
AND SATURDAY WHICH IS CAUSING INCREASED DENSITY ALTITUDES.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 527 PM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR SOUTHWEST AND
EASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS EVENING, WITH STORM MOTIONS GENERALLY TO
THE SOUTH. A FEW STORMS COULD GEL INTO A DISORGANIZED LINE IN THE
EASTERN PLAINS, BUT THAT LOOKS LESS LIKELY NOW BASED ON RECENT
RADAR TRENDS. CONVECTION EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN WILL
CONTINUE TO CREATE GUSTY GAP WINDS AT KABQ AND KSAF UNTIL AROUND
03Z THIS EVENING, POTENTIALLY LATER DEPENDING ON CONVECTION
INTENSITY IN EASTERN NEW MEXICO.
