PUEBLO AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0644 UTC FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1122 PM MDT THU OCT 22 2026
FAIRLY CONTINUOUS RAIN WILL CONTINUE AT KALS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH MVFR TO OCCASIONAL IFR/LIFR DURING THE
HEAVIER RAIN. IMPROVEMENT SHOULD OCCUR AROUND 16Z AS WINDS PICK
UP AND CEILINGS BREAK. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY FROM THE
SOUTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON TO AROUND 30 KTS. ANOTHER ROUND
OF SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER 22Z, THOUGH THESE SHOULD BE
LESS WIDESPREAD.
KCOS AND KPUB WILL SEE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS THOUGH RAINFALL WILL BE LESS PERSISTENT AND LIGHTER.
CONDITIONS WILL STAY VFR WITH CIGS, BUT WILL BE WATCHING KCOS
CLOSELY FOR SOME POTENTIAL FOG IF SOUTHERLY WINDS STRENGTHEN
ANY. ODDS LOOK TOO LOW AT THIS POINT GIVEN THE PERSISTENT CLOUD
COVER AND OFF AND ON RAIN SHOWERS. OTHERWISE, AN IMPROVING
TREND CAN BE EXPECTED FRIDAY MORNING AS SOUTHERLY WINDS INCREASE
AND GUST TO AROUND 30-35 KTS IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE A
LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP NEAR OR EAST OF THE
TAF SITES IN THE LATE AFTERNOON SO HAVE INCLUDED A PROB30 FOR
-TSRA AND TO REFLECT THE POSSIBILITY FOR ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS.

AVIATION...KSLC
ANOTHER BAND OF MODERATE RAINFALL WILL TRAVERSE THE
TERMINAL BETWEEN 06-09Z, WITH POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE A PERIOD OF
MVFR CIGS/VIS. RAIN SHOWERS BECOME MORE ISOLATED BEHIND THIS LINE,
WITH LESS THAN A 30% CHANCE TO IMPACT THE TERMINAL THROUGH 12Z.
DRY CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING WITH
CIGS GRADUALLY INCREASING ABOVE 6KFT. THERE IS A 30% CHANCE FOR
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN 21-06Z FRIDAY.
SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE TO PREVAIL AT THE TERMINAL, THOUGH
SHOWERS MAY PRODUCE PERIODS OF GUSTY AND VARIABLE WINDS.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO DRY OUT
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF UTAH THIS EVENING. A BROAD AREA OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK THROUGH NORTHERN UTAH
AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING, BRINGING
PERIODS OF MVFR TO IFR CIGS/VIS THROUGH THIS PERIOD. DRY CONDITIONS
DEVELOP ACROSS THE AIRSPACE BY MID-MORNING, BEFORE MORE ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOUTHERLY WINDS PREVAIL FOR MOST REGIONAL
TERMINALS INTO FRIDAY, WITH PERIODS GUSTY AND VARIABLE WINDS IN
