.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday/...
Issued at 539 AM MDT Fri Oct 2 2026
Current observations show southerly winds in place at KDEN/KAPA,
with light and mostly variable winds remaining at KBJC. Satellite
imagery shows fog in place along the Palmer Divide and Cheyenne
Ridge, with the southerly winds/compressional warming off the
Palmer keeping the fog from progressing northward into KAPA. While
fog is still not expected to directly impact the airfields, a few
observations over the northern urban corridor have two to three
degree dewpoint depressions, which could still produce additional
fog development with any slight cooling or increase to RH in the
next hour or two. With northerly winds in place along the northern
I-25 corridor, if fog (or even some low clouds) were to form, this
could still get advected southward towards KBJC/KDEN and disrupt
visibility for planes landing from the south. Therefore, have kept
the VCFG from 13Z-15Z as this scenario cannot be completely ruled
out despite confidence remaining low at this time.
Expecting winds to become slightly more south-southwesterly and
decrease in magnitude for a few hours early this morning before
turning back to the south to southeast for the afternoon. The
latest guidance has started to trend slightly more east-southeasterly
in the past few runs, but speeds should remain lighter with this
scenario (generally below 7kts) compared to the slightly higher
speeds with a more southeasterly winds portrayed in the TAF. Another
round of enhanced southerly winds is expected through the
evening, before settling into drainage winds for the overnight
hours.

KSLC...VFR conditions will persist at the KSLC terminal through the
forecast period. Dry and stable conditions with mostly clear skies
will continue. The terminal is currently experiencing light south to
southeasterly flow before becoming a more enhanced southerly flow
around 17Z due a weak boundary propagating across the area. Around
21Z, the flow will switch back to diurnally-driven northwesterly
winds.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions will persist at
all TAFs sites through the forecast period. Dry and stable
conditions with diurnally-driven winds will prevail at all sites.
Some high clouds may move across the northern terminals due a weak
boundary propagating across northern Utah.

VFR conditions will continue at all TAF sites through 12Z
Saturday with only some passing high clouds. A southwest wind
will increase this afternoon at many TAF sites, with the
strongest wind in vicinity of KRKS and KCPR where gusts to 25
knots will be likely. Most wind decreases after sunset as the
atmosphere decouples, but a gusty drainage wind may persist in
vicinity of KRIW through the night.

Current satellite does show an area of low clouds developing just
east of KCYS. It is possible that these low clouds and potentially
fog could impact the terminal within the next few hours. Low CIGs
and reduced visibility could briefly bring conditions down to MVFR
or IFR, however chances of this are low. A breezy day is expected at
all terminals, but especially in the Nebraska panhandle where gusts
up to 30 kts will be possible this afternoon and into the evening
hours. Mostly sunny skies are expected during the day.

forecast through the period. There is a 5-10% chance, mainly for
KMCK, for some brief fog through 14Z with visibility down to

light, before strengthening from the south with speeds nearing
15 kts close to 18Z.

Surface observations early Friday morning show MVFR stratus
lingering at DDC and LBL, while GCK and HYS sit in VFR. Short
range guidance indicates the stratus will gradually move
southeast, clearing DDC in the next couple hours and LBL by
around 17Z, allowing VFR to prevail across all terminals
through the end of this TAF cycle. Otherwise, north-northeast
winds currently aoa 12 kts will weaken to light and variable by
early afternoon.

Low clouds and even some mist to light rain are expected across
the Panhandles this morning. Mainly the central to southern TX
Panhandle to include KAMA. This means some IFR CIGs expected for
KAMA, with mainly MVFR CIGs for KGUY and KDHT through about 18Z.
There is a bit of uncertainty to how long KAMA will see IFR CIGs
before improving to MVFR but should stay with some cloud cover.
Winds continue to gusts 20 to 25 kts this morning but should
subside leading to 18Z and gradually become light and possibly
variable after 00Z Saturday.
