WE HAVE SOME ISOLATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OUT THERE
RIGHT NOW. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER
COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE WEAKENING AND MOVING EAST AWAY FROM THE
AREA. COVERAGE WILL REMAIN LOW ENOUGH THAT WE LEFT THE PROB30S IN
THERE THROUGH 02Z. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES OUT
THERE RIGHT NOW, SO WINDS WILL REMAIN VARIABLE WITH OCCASIONAL
GUSTY WINDS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
TURN FROM A MORE NORTHERLY COMPONENT TO A MORE SOUTHERLY
COMPONENT SOMETIME BETWEEN 00Z AND 01Z. SOUTH/SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD BEFORE WINDS TURN MORE
WESTERLY IN THE MID TO LATE MORNING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON
SOMETIME BETWEEN 19Z AND 22Z. IT IS STILL QUITE A WAYS OUT, SO
WE'VE PUT IN A PROB30 FOR NOW, BUT IF MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND
HIGHER WITH COVERAGE WE MAY NEED TO UP IT TO A TEMPO.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0043 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2026
AVIATION
KSLC...ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN SHOWERS WITH A 10% CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE SLC TERMINAL NEAR 04Z
BEFORE CLEARING THE AREA BY AROUND 06Z. THIS WILL BRING A BRIEF
PERIOD OF ERRATIC WINDS TO THE TERMINAL. OTHERWISE, OUTSIDE OF THESE
SHOWERS, LIGHT NORTH OR VARIABLE WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT THE SLC
TERMINAL BEFORE SWITCHING SOUTH NEAR 02Z. FRIDAY, THERE IS AROUND A
20-30% CHANCE OF SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS LATE MORNING THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON, WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASING LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. OVERALL VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL, WITH ANY
POTENTIAL FOR LOWER CONDITIONS ARISING FROM STRONG CONVECTION
DIRECTLY ATOP THE TERMINAL.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WITH ASSOCIATED GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOWS WILL LINGER
INTO LATE THIS EVENING. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS ARE ONCE AGAIN
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY MID-MORNING ON FRIDAY, WITH THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES INCREASING ESPECIALLY MID/LATE AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING.
GREATEST IMPACTS AND POTENTIAL FOR DECREASED CONDITIONS BELOW VFR
WOULD ARISE FROM ANY STRONGER CONVECTION ATOP A TERMINAL. WIND
DIRECTIONS WILL FAVOR A DIURNALLY NORMAL DIRECTION PATTERN, BUT BE
HEAVILY IMPACTED BY ANY OUTFLOWS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 429 PM MDT THU AUG 27 2026
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE THE PRIMARY AVIATION CONCERN
THIS PERIOD. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD
THROUGH THE EVENING. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN MAY BRING OCCASIONAL MVFR
VISIBILITIES, THOUGH THE MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE STRONG OUTFLOW
WIND GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 KNOTS. WHILE MOST OF THIS WILL DECREASE AFTER
SUNSET, LINGERING SHOWERS WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD TONIGHT,
ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN WYOMING. A BROKEN VFR CLOUD DECK IS
EXPECTED FOR MOST TERMINALS OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT WAVE WILL FOLLOW
QUICKLY, WITH MORE PERSISTENT SHOWERS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AT KJAC BY
16Z FRIDAY MORNING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD AFTER 18Z, WITH A PROB30 GROUP NOW ADDED FOR ALL
TERMINALS FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 2325 UTC THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 525 PM MDT THU AUG 27 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL ACROSS ALL TERMINALS FOR
THE DURATION OF THIS TAF PERIOD, OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS THAT PASS THROUGH. THE BEST CHANCES FOR ANY
IMPACTS ARE AT KCDR, KAIA, KSNY, AND POSSIBLY KCYS. IF ONE OF
THE AFOREMENTIONED SITES GETS IMPACTED, EXPECT GUSTY AND ERRATIC
WINDS ALONG WITH CIGS LOWERING AND VIS REDUCING. DUE TO LOWER
CONFIDENCE ON TIMING AND LOCATION, KEPT VCTS AND/OR PROB30
GROUPS IN THE TAFS. NO OTHER AVIATION THREATS FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS ALL THE ACTIVITY
SHOULD BE OUT OF OUR CWA. WINDS OVERNIGHT NOT MUCH OF AN ISSUE,
BUT WINDS RAMP BACK UP BY 22Z FRIDAY FOR MOST TERMINALS WITH
GUSTS 20-30 KNOTS.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY OCCURRING ACROSS NORTH-
CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH INTO WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NEBRASKA LATER THIS EVENING, POTENTIALLY IMPACTING THE
KLBF TERMINAL BETWEEN 02Z AND 05Z. BRIEF MVFR VISIBILITY
REDUCTIONS, ALONG WITH GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS, WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS. THE PRIMARY ROUND OF CONVECTION SHOULD
EXIT THE AREA LATER TONIGHT, THOUGH ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL NEBRASKA EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. BEYOND THIS ACTIVITY, VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME QUITE GUSTY FRIDAY, WITH SUSTAINED
SPEEDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND GUSTS UP TO 35 KNOTS POSSIBLE.

MAIN AVIATION CONCERN FOR BOTH KGLD AND KMCK WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE THROUGH THIS
EVENING. STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN NORTHERN NEBRASKA THIS
AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THIS EVENING.
LATEST MODELS SHOW THEM MERGING INTO A CLUSTER AS THEY APPROACH
THE KANSAS/NEBRASKA BORDER AREA AROUND 03Z, THEN GRADUALLY
WEAKENING TOWARD THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR AROUND 06Z. WIND
WILL BE THE MAIN HAZARD AS THE STORMS MOVE THROUGH, WITH GUSTS
OF 60 MPH OR HIGHER POSSIBLE. ANOTHER POSSIBLE SCENARIO, THOUGH
LOOKING LESS LIKELY AT THIS TIME, IS THAT THE STORMS WEAKEN
BEFORE THEY ENTER KANSAS.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING TO SLIGHTLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT FOR DALHART, BUT STILL FAIRLY LOW CONFIDENCE AND
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT A MORE PRECISE TIMING WARRANTS A PROB30 GROUP AT
