DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1753 UTC SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1140 AM MDT SAT AUG 8 2026
SMOKE WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT ALL THREE TERMINALS THROUGHOUT THE
TAF PERIOD AND BEYOND WITH SLANTWISE VISIBILITY ISSUES AT TIMES.
GOES-19 SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CLOUDS AND SMOKE STARTING TO
INCREASE AT THIS HOUR. WINDS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO TURN TO THE
NORTHWEST/NORTH THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN A SMALL INVERSION THAT WAS
STILL PRESENT ON ACARS SOUNDINGS, BUT THEY HAVE STARTED TO TURN IN
THE LAST 30 MINUTES OR SO.
FOR THIS AFTERNOON STARTING AS EARLY AS 19Z, VIRGA SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE CAUSING AT LEAST 40 KT WIND GUSTS AND BRIEFLY LOWERING
CEILINGS TO 12,000 FT AGL. A PROB30 IS IN PLACE. THE LATEST CAMS
CONTINUE TO HINT AT A LOW (10-20%) CHANCE OF WIND GUSTS EVEN
BRIEFLY EXCEEDING 45 KTS. BY 1 OR 2Z, VIRGA SHOWERS WILL GREATLY
DECREASE WITH WINDS TURNING TO DRAINAGE OVERNIGHT.
TOMORROW WILL BE A SIMILAR STORY WITH WINDS TURNING TO THE
NORTH/NORTHEAST BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND VIRGA SHOWERS POSSIBLE
AT ALL THREE TERMINALS STARTING AROUND 20Z AND LASTING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. SOUNDINGS SHOW MORE MOISTURE FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON
COMPARED TO TODAY, SO HAVE GONE AHEAD WITH A TEMPO FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF 40 KT WIND GUSTS AND BRIEFLY LOWERING CEILINGS.
GIVEN THE DRY AIRMASS AT THE LOWER LEVELS, LITTLE TO NO RAINFALL
IS EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0953 UTC SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026
AVIATION, ISSUED 1043 PM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
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.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1715 UTC SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1114 AM MDT SAT AUG 8 2026
VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE LARGELY FORECAST THROUGH AT LEAST 18Z
SUNDAY. THAT BEING SAID, SMOKE FROM WESTERN UNITED STATES WILDFIRES
CONTINUES TO BE PRESENT ACROSS WYOMING AND COULD BRING LOCALIZED
MVFR VISIBILITIES AT ANY POINT DURING THE TAF PERIOD. THE PLACEMENT,
TIMING, AND DURATION OF THICKER SMOKE AND ASSOCIATED REDUCED
VISIBILITIES IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT SO OPT'D TO MAINTAIN VFR
AT THIS TIME. THIS WILL CONTINUED TO BE MONITORED THROUGHOUT THE
PERIOD. OTHERWISE, WINDS INCREASE AFTER 19Z AT MOST TERMINALS, WITH
GUSTS RANGING FROM 15KTS TO 30KTS UNTIL DECREASING AROUND SUNSET.
THERE IS UP TO A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF VIRGA SHOWERS FROM 21Z TO 03Z
AT KRKS AS WELL AS A 10 PERCENT CHANCE OF VIRGA SHOWERS AT KJAC,
KCOD, KRIW, KLND, KBPI, AND KBPI FROM 02Z UNTIL 07Z. BECAUSE
CONFIDENCE AND CHANCES ARE VERY LOW, THERE IS NO MENTION IN THE
FORECAST AT THIS TIME. REGARDLESS, ANY VIRGA SHOWERS COULD PRODUCE
VARIABLE WIND GUSTS GREATER THAN 35KTS.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1123 AM MDT SAT AUG 8 2026
THE LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE HAVE MOVED OUT FROM ALL
TERMINALS EXCEPT AIA WITH A FEW SCATTERED CLOUDS LEFTOVER. CLOUDS
ACROSS THE REGION ARE EXPECTED TO STAY FAIRLY SPARSE THROUGH THIS
TAF PERIOD. STRONG W TO NW WINDS ACROSS THE WY TERMINALS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING WITH GUSTS AROUND 20-30 KNOTS.
WINDS SHIFTS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NE TERMINALS WITH GUSTS UP TO 20
KNOTS. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE FOR A HIGH BASED SHOWER/STORM FOR THE
WY TERMINALS, BUT IT IS TOO LOW OF A PROBABILITY TO PUT INTO THE
TAFS. VFR EXPECTED THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH

LINGERING LOW STRATUS IS OBSERVED OVER SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA THIS
AFTERNOON, CONTINUING TO ERODE. THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING,
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED, WITH SOUTHERLY GUSTY WINDS ACROSS
THE REGION. TONIGHT, ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY
ATTEMPT TO FORM ALONG NORTHERN NEBRASKA, WITH LOW CONFIDENCE IN ANY
IMPACT TO THE KVTN TERMINAL. FURTHER TO THE SOUTH, ADDITIONAL FOG
MAY DEVELOP IN LOW LYING REGIONS AND RIVER VALLEYS, POTENTIALLY
BRINGING FOG INTO KLBF IN THE PREDAWN AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.

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.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1230 PM CDT SAT AUG 8 2026
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL OVER ALL SITES FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY WILL BECOME WINDY OVERNIGHT AND
THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. CONFIDENCE IN LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR
AFFECTING THE TAF SITES HAS DECREASED DUE TO WEAK MID LEVEL
SUPPORT. STRONG WINDS AT THE LOW LEVELS ARE MORE LIKELY TO
COMPLETELY MIX DOWN AND BECOME SURFACE WINDS INSTEAD OF STAYING
BETWEEN 1,000 TO 2,000 FT AGL.
