ISSUED AT 0649 UTC SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1034 PM MDT SAT MAR 14 2026
AT KCOS, VFR THE NEXT 24 HRS, THOUGH A QUICK -SHSN 09Z-14Z
COULD BRIEFLY (15-30 MINUTES) DROP CIGS/VIS TO MVFR. WINDS WILL
REMAIN GUSTY (20-30 KTS) OUT OF THE WEST UNTIL 08Z, THEN SWITCH
TO NORTHERLY BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT AFTER 08Z. GUSTS OF
40-50 KTS ARE POSSIBLE AFTER THE FROPA, CONTINUING UNTIL 18Z,
BEFORE SPEEDS SLOWLY SUBSIDE LATE SUN AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING.
AT KPUB, VFR THE NEXT 24 HRS. GUSTY (20-30 KTS) WEST WINDS THIS
EVENING WILL SWITCH TO NORTHERLY AFTER 09Z, WITH GUSTS OVER 40
KTS LIKELY 09Z-18Z, BEFORE SPEEDS SLOWLY SUBSIDE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. COULD SEE SOME BRIEF (LESS THAN 30 MINUTES) MVFR
VISIBILITY DUE TO BLOWING DUST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FROPA,
BUT WON'T INCLUDE IT IN THE TAF AT THIS POINT. NORTH WINDS THEN
SLOWLY SUBSIDE LATE SUN AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.
AT KALS, VFR THE NEXT 24 HRS. W-SW WINDS WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT,
OCCASIONALLY GUSTING OVER 20 KTS. WINDS TURN NLY AROUND 11Z AS
A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH, WITH GUSTS 30-40 KTS LIKELY THROUGH
THE DAY. COULD SEE SOME BRIEF LOWER VISIBILITY DUE TO BLOWING
DUST DURING THE DAY SUNDAY, BUT CONFIDENCE IN OCCURRENCE IS TOO
LOW (20 PERCENT) TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT THIS POINT. WINDS THEN
DIMINISH TO LIGHT NLY SUN EVENING.

ISSUED AT 1250 AM CDT SUN MAR 15 2026
A STRONG FRONT CONTINUES TO TRACK THROUGH WESTERN NEBRASKA AND
WILL BRING INCREASING IMPACTS TO WESTERN NEBRASKA TERMINALS.
THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE THREAT FOR MODERATE SNOW WITHIN
STRONG WINDS LEADING TO SIGNIFICANT VISIBILITY ISSUES AT
NORTHERN TERMINALS. THIS INCLUDES VTN, WHERE PREVAILING 2SM WAS
MENTIONED BUT A TEMPO GROUP ADDED TO INCLUDE POTENTIAL OF LIFR
VISIBILITIES. CONFIDENCE IN SEEING THIS BE PERSISTENT ENOUGH TO
WARRANT A PREVAILING MENTION WAS TOO LOW AT THIS TIME. WINDS
WILL RAMP UP OVER THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE PERIOD AND GUSTS
WILL LIKELY APPROACH 40 KNOTS AT TIMES. SIMILAR MENTION WAS MADE
AT LBF, WITH STEADY NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS OVERNIGHT AND A SLIGHT
BOOST AFTER DAYBREAK TO NEAR 50 KNOT MAX GUSTS. RECENT SHORT-
TERM GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A BRIEF WINDOW FOR LIGHT SNOW BUT THIS
SHOULD BE SHORT ON THE ORDER OF A FEW HOURS BEFORE DEPARTING.
SKIES SHOULD OPEN UP LATER IN THE DAY WITH A RETURN TO VFR
CONDITIONS LIKELY AND GRADUALLY DIMINISHING GUSTS TOWARDS THE
END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1003 PM MDT SAT MAR 14 2026
TRICKY AVIATION FORECAST AS THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR BLOWING DUST
AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA AROUND OR A LITTLE AFTER
06Z. VISIBILITY COULD FALL BELOW 1SM WITH THE FRONT BUT
CONFIDENCE IN THAT IMPACTING EITHER TERMINAL AT THIS TIME IS
LOW SO WILL NOT INCLUDE BUT WATCH FOR AMD. WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS
OF 45 KNOTS ARE FORECAST FOR EACH TERMINAL BEHIND THE FRONT BUT
COULD BE IN EXCESS OF 50 KNOTS AS WELL. THESE WINDS ARE FORECAST
TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY. WILL ALSO NEED TO KEEP AN
EYE ON RAIN/SNOW POTENTIAL FOR EACH TERMINAL WHICH COULD LOWER
VISIBILITY AS WELL DUE TO THE WIND. SMOKE FROM WESTERN NEBRASKA
FIRES MAY ALSO LOWER VISIBILITY. WINDS ARE FORECAST TO FINALLY
LET UP AROUND 03Z MONDAY BUT STILL BE BREEZY AT MCK.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1140 PM CDT SAT MAR 14 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR ALL SITES THROUGH THE ENTIRE TAF
PERIOD. THAT SAID, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT CONDITIONS DROP BELOW
VFR, ESPECIALLY IF THE BLOWING DUST DROPS VISIBILITIES BELOW
THRESHOLDS. SOME LLWS MAY ALSO KICK OFF THE TAF PERIOD ESPECIALLY AT
HYS AND GCK. OTHER THAN BLOWING DUST, MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE
FORECAST ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE INTERMITTENT HIGH BASED CLOUD COVER.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES HAVE REMAINED BELOW 25% VIA ENSEMBLES; IF IT
OCCURS, IT WILL BE VERY LIGHT AND FOR A SHORT TIME PERIOD. WITH THE
FRONT DESCENDING INTO THE CWA EARLY IN THE TAF PERIOD, VERY STRONG
NORTH/NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED. PEAKING AROUND 12-18Z, WINDS MAY
REACH UP TO 45 KTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 65 KTS. AFTER AROUND 0Z, WINDS
WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY.

WINDS ARE ALREADY STARTING TO PICKUP AT SOME OF THE TERMINALS AS
THE EXPECTED FRONT STARTS TO MOVE INTO NORTHERN COLORADO. AHEAD OF
THIS FRONT POTENTIAL IS PRESENT TO SEE SOME LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR
AS WELL AS A VERY LOW CHANCE (LESS THAN 10%) OF SOME
SPRINKLES/FLURRIES AT KGUY. BEHIND THE FRONT, SURFACE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED INCREASE DRAMATICALLY WITH POTENTIAL TO SEE 60 MPH WIND
GUSTS AT ALL THREE TERMINALS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. OTHERWISE, ANY
OTHER IMPACTS TO THE TERMINALS WILL LIKELY COME FROM BLOWING DUST
FROM THESE WINDS. HOWEVER GIVEN THAT OUR DUST SOURCES ARE
SLIGHTLY LIMITED TO OUR NORTH, IMPACTS TO THE TERMINALS MAY BE
MINOR.

WHILE MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE
NEXT 24 HOURS, WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE RAPIDLY TONIGHT
AS WINDS ALOFT SURGE UP IN SPEED. WEST NORTHWEST WINDS OF 50 TO
70 KT WILL BE COMMON AT 10,000 FT MSL, BUFFETING MOUNTAIN PEAKS
AND RIDGETOPS AND CREATING MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY TO THE LEE
(EAST) EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SURFACE WINDS IN VALLEYS AND OTHER
SHELTERED LOWER ELEVATION LOCATIONS WILL STAY MUCH LIGHTER THROUGH
THE EARLY MORNING WITH JUST OCCASIONAL BREEZY CONDITIONS, BUT
THIS WILL LEAD TO LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WITHIN THE LOWEST FEW
THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE SURFACE. SURFACE WINDS WILL THEN QUICKLY
TURN STRONG TO SEVERE THROUGH THE MID TO LATE MORNING SUNDAY AS A
POWERFUL COLD FRONT SWEEPS IN WITH MANY LOCATIONS FORECAST TO
OBSERVE GUSTS OF 35 TO 55 KT AROUND MID DAY. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST
WILL BE A WILD CARD, AND SOME DUST PRONE LOCATIONS COULD OBSERVE
VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY (3 TO 5 MILES). WINDS
WILL SLACKEN AFTER SUNSET WITH SPEEDS CONTINUING TO DECREASE
THROUGH LATE SUNDAY EVENING.
