.AVIATION /00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday/...
Issued at 551 PM MDT Fri Oct 30 2026
Some small adjustments have been made for potential impact timing
at all TAF sites with this TAF package. Fog is still anticipated
to develop overnight tonight and stick around through late
Saturday morning. In addition to KDEN/KBJC`s previously advertised
expected impacts, KAPA now has increased chances of potential
impacts as well, with a TEMPO now included in their TAF beginning
at 13Z. Additionally, guidance has started to move up the arrival
time of low stratus to as early as 5Z tonight at KDEN, so a TEMPO
has been included to account for this change. Similar to last
night, a cyclone is expected to bring light and variable winds to
the TAF sites, and fog is likely to be within the vicinity of
KDEN/KBJC sometime between 9Z-10Z, with prevailing LIFR conditions
anticipated by 12Z. There are still some uncertainties on if
there is an earlier development at KDEN, as latest hi-res guidance
is hinting at this potential, but we would like to see what the
0Z model trends give us before making any further adjustments.
KAPA is, once again, the wildcard, but it is starting to look like
NNW winds have a good chance of pulling the fog further south by
early Saturday morning that they could see a few hours of LIFR
conditions between 13Z-16Z. Conditions should start to improve
across all the TAF sites late Saturday morning, between 16Z-18Z,
with VFR conditions likely to return by 20Z.
Light northerly winds are expected by late Saturday morning,
becoming NE for the afternoon, and turning to the south for the
overnight hours.

Showers and isolated thunderstorms move into the area tonight.
This shower activity could produce MVFR to IFR conditions at
certain terminals. Additionally, it is likely that ceilings will
fall below ILS breakpoints at most sites as precipitation
propagates through. Coverage decreases to more isolated tomorrow
afternoon. Winds will be generally light and terrain-driven
overnight.

Showers and isolated thunderstorms move into the area tonight.
This shower activity could produce MVFR to IFR conditions at
certain terminals. Additionally, it is likely that ceilings will
fall below ILS breakpoints at most sites as precipitation
propagates through. Coverage decreases to more isolated tomorrow
afternoon. Winds will be generally light and terrain-driven
overnight.

.AVIATION...
KSLC...VFR conditions are forecast to prevail through much of the
TAF period, though brief MVFR visbys are possible this afternoon
as showers move into the airspace after 1830-1900z. Chances for
thunderstorms remain around 15% through 01z. Additionally,
ceilings will gradually lower through the afternoon, with CIGs
approaching 6000ft AGL as early as 20z. South winds are expected
throughout the day, with occasionally erratic winds near showers.
While the bulk of the shower activity will wind down by 03-04z,
isolated showers will remain possible overnight.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Widespread showers and
isolated thunderstorms will continue to overspread the state from
southwest to northeast through the afternoon, with activity
winding down after 04z or so. Still, isolated showers will likely
last into the early morning hours. VFR conditions will largely
prevail, though MVFR VIS/CIGs are likely with heavier rainfall,
primarily before 03z. Winds may be briefly gusty and erratic near
thunderstorms this afternoon, but will otherwise generally follow
a diurnal pattern.

West of the Divide...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS Terminals
A weather system will bring rain and plentiful cloud cover to the
area through the TAF period. Precipitation type should remain mostly
rain at terminals, with snow in the mountains. Some snow may mix in
at KJAC, KBPI, and KPNA late tonight into early Saturday morning.
Conditions will drop to MVFR at times, with the exception of KRKS
where it should remain predominantly VFR. There may be some isolated
thunder Saturday afternoon, with more scattered convective showers
in the area. Wind will remain quite light (less than 8 knots) at all
terminals. Frequent mountain obscuration for the next 20 hours.
East of the Divide...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL Terminals
There will be minor impacts from a weather system moving through the
area tonight into tomorrow. Overall it will be mostly dry with this
weather system. Clouds will drop to low VFR to near MVFR CIGS
Saturday morning. Most terminals have a PROB30 of light rain at some
point tonight into Saturday morning, with the exception of KCPR
where the chance will be too low (20% late Saturday morning).
Terminals will have light wind (below 8 knots), with the exception
of KCPR. KCPR will have wind increase late Saturday morning to
around 15-20 knots, with gusts around 25-30 knots through the
afternoon before weakening around 00Z Sunday. Frequent mountain
obscuration through Saturday morning with improvement Saturday
afternoon.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on icing and turbulence forecasts.

On current satellite imagery, the leading edge of a stratus deck
is just east of KBFF. The ceilings under this deck are between
2.5 and 1 kft based on observations at other Nebraska Panhandle
terminals. A weak southeasterly wind will keep moisture
advection going through the night and decrease CIGs and
ultimately create fog, as has been the case the last few nights.
There appears to be two main pulses of moisture that are
anticipated to create a bimodal pattern of reduced VIS and CIGs
overnight; this is reflected in the KAIA and KSNY TAFs. Fog
could push as far west as KCYS, however the confidence in fog
occurring at KBFF is somewhat low. The low stratus and fog are
anticipated to continue until about the 15-17Z time frame, and
continued MVFR CIGs could persist into the afternoon for KAIA
and KSNY. Westerly winds increase at KLAR and KRWL in the
afternoon, along with a slight chance of showers at the
southeastern Wyoming terminals through the end of the forecast
period.

Much like previous nights IFR to minimum conditions will likely
occur for both KGLD and KMCK. Ceilings are expected to begin to
drop to 100-600 ft around 6Z, and last through the majority of
the TAF period. Beginning 05-06Z, fog is forecast to roll in and
should reduce visibilities to 1/4-1/2 mile. Light rain is also
forecast for both terminals beginning 06-07Z, and lasting till
late tomorrow morning. Around 18-19Z, ceilings should begin to
lift to around 1000-1500 ft. Winds for the period are forecast
to stay light and mainly from the southeast.

Variable flight conditions are forecast through the forecast period.
Light showers are moving northward and slowly encompassing all
terminals. It may be intermittent and begin to dissolve around 5Z.
Along with the showers, low stratus and fog is expected. How low
visibilities and ceilings drop still hold some uncertainty, but there
is overall a high confidence in significantly reduced flight
conditions. By around 15Z, visibilities are forecast to recover with
the ceilings lifting somewhat. The next set of TAFs will have more
confidence in the fog and ceilings. Through the period, winds will
be steady out of the south at around 10 KTs.

Lingering showers and low ceilings will make for messy TAFs over
the next 24 hrs at all sites. Rain is still holding on at KDHT and
KGUY, while KAMA is beginning to clear out. Additional spotty
showers may re-develop through the evening hours. Ceilings are
VFR at KAMA and KGUY for now, but cloud decks will likely drop as
low as IFR to LIFR at all sites through the night. We will be
monitoring for patchy fog as well, with 10-30% chances for
visibilities to drop below 1 mile through the morning hours.
Ceilings will lift to VFR towards the end of the period. Winds
will stay out of the south at 10-15 kts with slightly higher gusts
at times.

Current MVFR conditions at KROW will once again deteriorate
overnight back down to IFR. At the remaining TAF sites, VFR
conditions are set to generally prevail, with brief MVFR
conditions likely with any scattered showers and isolated storms
over the next few hours. Further deterioration is forecast across
western and central NM overnight, down to MVFR during periods of
widespread rain with potential for IFR conditions at KGUP.
Mountain obscurations will become widespread overnight, and winds
will generally be light. Conditions improve west to east as the
rain clears by sunrise.
