AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 400 AM MDT SAT AUG 8 2026
LARGELY VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY. THE MAIN
POSSIBLY IMPACT WOULD BE AREAS OF SMOKE CONTINUING TO DRIFT IN FROM
FIRES TO THE WEST. IT COULD BRING LOCAL MVFR VISIBILITY, BUT WE LEFT
THIS OUT OF THE TAFS WITH THE CONTINUED DIFFICULTY OF TIMING AND
PLACEMENT OF THE THICKER SMOKE. A GUSTY BREEZE WILL DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON, WITH GUSTS OF 15 TO 25 KNOTS POSSIBLY AT ALL TERMINALS
BETWEEN AROUND 19Z AND 02Z, WITH WIND DECREASING AFTER SUNSET. IN
VICINITY OF KBPI, KPNA AND KRKS, A VIRGA SHOWER WITH WIND GUSTS PAST
35 KNOTS CAN;T BE RULED OUT BETWEEN 20Z AND 03Z. HOWEVER, WITH THE
CHANCE ONLY AROUND 10 PERCENT, IT WAS LEFT OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR
NOW.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 527 AM MDT SAT AUG 8 2026
SOME LOW CLOUDS HAVE MOVED INTO THE REGION THIS MORNING ACROSS
THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE BRINGING MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AND EVEN
SOME LOCALLY PATCHY FOG. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE
HOURS, BUT WITH THE SUN COMING UP THIS BANK SHOULD BEGIN TO
DISSIPATE BY 15Z. WIND FORECAST IS HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR WY
TERMINALS AS STRONG W TO NW'LY WINDS EXPECTED WITH SPEEDS 10-20
KNOTS AND GUSTS 25-35 KNOTS, LESSENING THIS EVENING. WIND
FORECAST CONFIDENCE LOW FOR NE TERMINALS AS NUMEROUS WIND SHIFTS
ARE EXPECTED. OVERALL WINDS NOT AS STRONG AS WY, BUT SPEEDS
10-15 KNOTS ON AVERAGE EXPECTED. A VERY LOW CHANCE OF A HIGH
BASED SHOWER OR STORM FROM KCYS THROUGH NE PANHANDLE, BUT
PROBABILITY IS TOO LOW TO INTRODUCE INTO TAFS.

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.
