AVIATION
KSLC...GENERALLY LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS PREVAIL OVERNIGHT BEFORE
TRANSITIONING TO THE NORTHWEST AROUND 18Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL MOST OF THE TAF PERIOD, THOUGH ELEVATED WILDFIRE SMOKE MAY
CAUSE SLANTWISE VIS REDUCTIONS BRIEFLY INTO MVFR, PARTICULARLY
AROUND SUNRISE/SUNSET.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...WINDS FOR ALL REGIONAL
TERMINALS GENERALLY REMAIN LIGHT AND DIURNALLY DRIVEN OVERNIGHT.
AFTERNOON CONVECTION DEVELOPS AFTER 18Z MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN UTAH,
EXTENDING AS FAR NORTH AS THE SOUTHERN WASATCH FRONT AND WASATCH
BACK. GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS TO 50 MPH ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
VICINITY OF STORMS THAT DEVELOP SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. VFR
CONDITIONS PREVAIL OVERALL, THOUGH LINGERING WILDFIRE SMOKE MAY LEAD
TO BRIEF REDUCTIONS INTO MVFR VIS ESPECIALLY AROUND SUNRISE/SUNSET.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 955 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. LIGHTER
WIND IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. 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 FOR MOST TERMINALS, AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL
FOR A FEW VIRGA SHOWERS AND ASSOCIATED GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AT KBPI,
KPNA, AND KRKS.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 0535 UTC SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1121 PM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
WINDS ARE FAIRLY LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST BETWEEN 10
TO 15 KNOTS AT MOST TERMINALS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO
SUBSIDE AND BECOME VARIABLE THROUGH THE MORNING. A NEAR SURFACE
INVERSION HAS DEVELOPED WITH A LOW LEVEL JET ATOP IT, WHICH IS
INDUCING 40 KTS OF LLWS AT KCDR AND KAIA. THIS LLWS IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH ABOUT 12Z. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE FOR THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE WHICH MAY
PRODUCE CIGS AT TERMINALS TO 3 KFT OR LOWER. SOME PATCHY FOG IS
POSSIBLE, BUT NOT LIKELY ENOUGH TO INTRODUCE IN THE 06Z TAFS.
LOW CLOUDS RISE AND BURN OFF BY MID MORNING. THE WIND PATTERN
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON IN NEBRASKA IS RATHER CHAOTIC WITH
NUMEROUS WIND SHIFTS. THEREFORE, WIND DIRECTION FORECAST IS OF
LOWER CONFIDENCE THAN NORMAL AT THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
TERMINALS. PREVAILING DIRECTION OUT OF THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED
FOR SE WYOMING TERMINALS WITH GUSTS APPROACHING 30 KNOTS. SOME
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
FOR THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS, BUT PROBABILITIES REMAIN
TOO LOW TO INTRODUCE IN TAFS.

A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS

AND POTENTIALLY GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR IN AND NEAR THE STORMS.
IN ADDITION, AN AREA OF STRATUS CLOUDS IS EXPECTED TO FORM WEST

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1117 PM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA. ON THE
NOSE OF A SURFACE HIGH ACROSS NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA FOG AND STRATUS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP AGAIN AROUND 9-10Z.
CURRENTLY MCK IS FAVORED AS DEW POINTS IN THE LOW 70S HAVE
ADVECTED IN ALREADY. HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WIND BEING A LITTLE TOO
STRONG THAT MAY AFFECT HOW LOW FOG GETS BUT DO THINK THERE IS
POTENTIAL AGAIN FOR DENSE FOG AND VERY LOW CEILINGS. GLD IS A
BIT ON THE IFFIER SIDE AS THEY ARE FORECAST TO BE ON THE
SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE THREAT. ANY FOG IS FORECAST TO END BY
14-15Z AS BREEZY WINDS DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA. GLD IS FORECAST
TO BE THE BREEZIEST. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR STORMS RESULTING IN
STRONG WINDS AND LIGHTNING SATURDAY AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE WAS
TOO LOW IN IMPACTS TO EITHER TERMINAL TO INCLUDE IN THIS TAF.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1119 PM CDT FRI AUG 7 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD.
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE SOUTHERLY AND INCREASE INTO
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SUSTAINED 15-20
KNOTS WITH GUSTS 25-30 KNOTS. SOME MODEL GUIDANCE DOES INDICATE
A FEW STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE AREA LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING, AND COULD RESULT IN LOCALLY
STRONGER WINDS. HOWEVER, THE CHANCE OF OCCURRENCE AT ANY GIVEN
TERMINAL IS LOW, 20% OR LESS.
