25 TO 30 MPH. CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE WITH SCATTERED TO
BROKEN MID AND UPPER LEVEL CEILINGS. THIS ALL ARRIVES AHEAD OF A
SYSTEM PUMPING MOISTURE INTO THE SOUTHWEST. SOME STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHEAST UT AND NORTHWEST
CO. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS COULD GUST TO AROUND 40 MPH WITH A FEW
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. ELSEWHERE, TERRAIN BASED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH LESS WIDESPREAD
COVERAGE. BREAKPOINT CONDITIONS COULD TEMPORARILY DEVELOP UNDER
THUNDERSTORMS, BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED UNTIL SATURDAY WHEN MORE

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1150 AM MDT FRI AUG 28 2026
WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION WITH GUSTS
25 TO 30 MPH. CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE WITH SCATTERED TO
BROKEN MID AND UPPER LEVEL CEILINGS. THIS ALL ARRIVES AHEAD OF A
SYSTEM PUMPING MOISTURE INTO THE SOUTHWEST. SOME STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHEAST UT AND NORTHWEST
CO. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS COULD GUST TO AROUND 40 MPH WITH A FEW
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. ELSEWHERE, TERRAIN BASED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH LESS WIDESPREAD
COVERAGE. BREAKPOINT CONDITIONS COULD TEMPORARILY DEVELOP UNDER
THUNDERSTORMS, BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED UNTIL SATURDAY WHEN MORE
WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY LOWERS CEILINGS. SOME OVERNIGHT
SHOWER ACTIVITY TONIGHT IS BEING PROPOSED BY MODELS, BUT
CONFIDENCE IN ITS COVERAGE REMAINS LOW.

AVIATION, ISSUED 1133 AM MDT FRI AUG 28 2026
KSLC...WINDS ARE FAVORED TO TREND SOUTHWEST BY LATE MORNING, AND
THEN WEST TO NORTHWEST BY EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON, THOUGH LOW
CONFIDENCE NOTED GIVEN ONGOING SHOWERS AND OUTFLOWS. CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW AS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE, INCREASING
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO
BE CAPABLE OF BRIEF REDUCTIONS TO CIGS/VIS, WITH AROUND A 20% CHANCE
OF BRIEF MVFR VIS IN STRONGER ACTIVITY. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT
SOUTH BY LATER IN THE EVENING, BUT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND
SHOWERS WILL PERSIST. THUNDERSTORMS ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...ONGOING SCATTERED HIGH BASED
SHOWERS WILL RESULT IN SOME PERIODS OF VARIABILITY TO TERMINAL WINDS
THIS MORNING. WHILE TERMINALS WILL GENERALLY FAVOR THEIR DIURNALLY
TYPICAL DIRECTIONS, SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATE MORNING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WILL FURTHER ENHANCE THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY
AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS. ACTIVITY WILL ALSO BRING POTENTIAL FOR
BRIEF REDUCTIONS TO CIGS/VIS, WITH AROUND A 20% CHANCE OF MVFR VIS
NOTED WITH ANY STRONGER ACTIVITY ATOP A TERMINAL. SCATTERED SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL THEN PERSIST LATER INTO THE EVENING
AND LIKELY FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS INSTABILITY PERSISTS.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2129 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 329 PM MDT FRI AUG 28 2026
THE ACTIVE PERIOD WILL CONTINUE AS MOISTURE ARRIVES WITHIN
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. THIS WILL KEEP SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS GOING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD.
CONFIDENCE IS HIGHEST ON IMPACTS ACROSS WESTERN TERMINALS, INCLUDING
KBPI, KJAC, KPNA, AND KRKS. REGARDLESS, ALL TERMINALS HAVE A CHANCE
OF SEEING THIS ACTIVITY; THE UNCERTAINTY LIES MORE WITH THE TIMING.
ALL TERMINALS HAVE AT LEAST PROB30 GROUPS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. BRIEF
HEAVY RAIN MAY BRING OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS, AGAIN WITH THE BEST
CHANCES ACROSS TERMINALS WEST OF THE DIVIDE. AFTER A RELATIVE LULL
LATE THIS AFTERNOON, ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS WILL MOVE IN
OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL PICK UP TOWARD 18Z SATURDAY AS IT MOVES EAST
THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. OTHER THAN RAIN, STRONG OUTFLOW WIND
GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY. LOW CLOUDS
WILL LEAD TO FREQUENT MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION THROUGH THE PERIOD,
ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN WYOMING.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2042 UTC FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1138 AM MDT FRI AUG 28 2026
GUSTY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE THE PRIMARY AVIATION CONCERN
TODAY. ABUNDANT MOISTURE MOVING IN ALOFT WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA. MULTIPLE ROUNDS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS, POSSIBLY CONTINUING AFTER MIDNIGHT
IN WYOMING TOO. HOWEVER, MOST THUNDER SHOULD BE IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH SHOWERS FAVORED AFTER. PROB30
GROUPS WERE INTRODUCED AT MOST TERMINALS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF STRONG, GUSTY WINDS. CONFIDENCE IS LOWER IN THESE
STORMS BEING ABLE TO PRODUCE RAINFALL HEAVY ENOUGH TO REDUCE THE
FLIGHT CATEGORY, BUT BRIEF MVFR TO IFR WILL BE POSSIBLE IN
LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
OTHERWISE, EXPECT BREEZY WESTERLIES GUSTING 20 TO 30 KNOTS IN
WYOMING TODAY. THIS MAY CONTINUE OVERNIGHT, PARTICULARLY AT RWL,
WHILE OTHER TERMINALS CAN EXPECT LIGHTER WINDS (OUTSIDE OF THE
GUSTY SHOWERS). WINDS WILL PICK UP AT ALL TERMINALS MID
SATURDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 35 KNOTS IN WYOMING AND 20
TO 25 KNOTS IN NEBRASKA.

SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL REDEVELOP ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON,
FAVORING THE HIGH TERRAIN OF WESTERN, CENTRAL, AND NORTHERN NEW
MEXICO. STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF FREQUENT LIGHTNING, GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS, AS WELL AS BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL. MOVEMENT WILL BE
SLOW AND ERRATIC ACROSS WESTERN ZONES, BUT SHOULD GENERALLY MOVE
TOWARD THE SOUTH ELSEWHERE. CONFIDENCE IS GENERALLY LOW THAT ANY
TAF SITE WILL BE IMPACTED BY STORMS, BUT KGUP HAS THE GREATEST
CHANCE OF ANY. BRIEF MVFR VSBYS MAY OCCUR IN THE HEAVIEST STORMS.
PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH BY 04-06Z SATURDAY WITH
