AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1116 PM MDT SAT MAY 2 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. ROBUST SW DRAINAGE FLOW OF 08-12 KTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
EARLY TO MID MORNING SUN (W FOR KBJC), THEN BEGIN TO ROTATE
CLOCKWISE STARTING NEAR 15Z AND BECOMING N/NW BY AROUND 17Z, +/- 2
HOURS. WIND DIRECTION IS MORE UNCERTAIN FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING, BUT WILL EVENTUALLY RETURN TO DRAINAGE OVERNIGHT.
THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN MID-LEVEL CLOUD COVER MID-AFTERNOON
AS SCT CUMULUS DEVELOPS. ISO VIRGA IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, BUT
MOISTURE WILL BE HIGHLY LIMITED AND THUS THE OUTFLOW WIND
POTENTIAL DOENS'T APPEAR HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT A PROB30 GROUP AT
THIS TIME.

BETWEEN 18-20Z. A MORE CONCERTED AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL SHIFT INTO SOUTHWESTERN UTAH NEAR 22Z NEAR SGU AND KNB,
REACHING CDC AND BCE BETWEEN 23-01Z. CEILINGS NEAR 5000 FEET AND
GUSTY, MICROBURST WINDS UP TO 50 MPH WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY IMPACT.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0401 UTC SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 954 PM MDT SAT MAY 2 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD. A VERY WEAK COLD
FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH THE AREA EARLIER, WITH A NORTHERLY FETCH
OCCURRING ACROSS THE BIGHORN BASIN AND JOHNSON AND NATRONA
COUNTIES. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT (11KT OR LESS) ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. FEW-BKN FL180-250 WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH 18Z.
GUSTY WINDS INCREASE LATE SUNDAY MORNING (16Z-18Z) AND THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE (15 TO 30 PERCENT CHANCES) FOR LOCATIONS EAST OF THE
DIVIDE (INCLUDING YNP), WITH PROB30 GROUPS TO COVER THIS
TIMING. GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS UP TO 40 KNOTS WOULD BE THE MAIN
HAZARD. CURRENT MODELS KEEP SHOWERS NORTH OF KJAC SO HAVE
CONTINUED TO LEAVE ANY MENTION OUT OF THE FORECAST.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/

VFR PREVAILS THROUGH AT LEAST MIDDAY SUNDAY. OVERALL WINDS WILL
REMAIN LIGHT, BUT THE DIRECTION WILL BE VARIABLE AT TIMES
OVERNIGHT. GUSTS WILL PICK UP LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON,
WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS ANTICIPATED, MAINLY IN
WYOMING. AFTER THAT, ATTENTION SHIFTS TO WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE HIGH PLAINS. PROB30
GROUPS WERE MAINTAINED HIGHLIGHTING GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS
ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LIGHTNING WITH THIS EXPECTED
ACTIVITY. THIS SHOULD WIND DOWN BY AROUND 02Z, WITH LIGHT AND
VARIABLE WINDS AFTER THAT.
