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.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
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 LOOK TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD FOR KMCK AND
KGLD. WEAK SHOWERS DURING THE MIDDAY LOOK TO MOVE OVER KGLD, BUT
NO IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED NEAR THE SURFACE. BETTER CHANCE FOR
IMPACTFUL PRECIPITATION WILL BE BETWEEN 20-03Z AS A BROKEN LINE
OF STORMS MOVES AROUND THE KGLD AREA. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT
THESE STORM PRODUCE 45+ KTS WINDS, LEADING TO BLOWING DUST.
WINDS TODAY WILL FAVOR A SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION WITH
GUSTS LARGELY IN THE 20-30 KTS RANGE. WINDS WILL WEAKEN AFTER
SUNSET AND GRADUALLY FAVOR A NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AROUND
SUNRISE.
