AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 435 AM MST TUE FEB 24 2026
VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD, WITH WINDS THE MAIN CONCERN THROUGH
EARLY WEDNESDAY. DRAINAGE FLOW THIS MORNING SHOULD TURN TO THE
WEST-NORTHWEST CLOSE TO 18Z. MOST LIKELY SCENARIO FOR THIS
AFTERNOON LOOKS TO BE A FEW CHANNELS OF STRONGER (G25-30KT) WINDS
NEAR THE TERMINALS, WITH LIGHT - AND PERHAPS BRIEFLY
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST - WINDS OUTSIDE THOSE CHANNELS. GUIDANCE IS
SURPRISINGLY CONSISTENT IN BRINGING ONE OF THOSE CHANNELS THROUGH
BJC-DEN THROUGH MOST OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH A LITTLE LESS
CONFIDENCE FOR APA.
WINDS SHOULD TURN SLOWLY TURN TOWARDS SOUTHEASTERLY OR DRAINAGE
FLOW BY THE EVENING HOURS WITH DRAINAGE LIKELY CONTINUING
OVERNIGHT. SUSTAINED/STRONGER WNW/NW FLOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
NEAR 18Z WEDNESDAY.

DIURNALLY-DRIVEN DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, INCREASING OUT OF THE

BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE AREA AFTER 13Z ALONG THE UT-ID BORDER,
BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD DOWN TO ROUGHLY KDTA-KPUC BY 21Z.
PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL BE RAIN AT MOST SITES, THOUGH KEVW COULD
START OUT AS SNOW AROUND MID-DAY BEFORE LIKELY TRANSITIONING TO RAIN
DURING THE AFTERNOON. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION IS LIKELY ACROSS NORTHERN
UT, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MVFR CIGS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1138 UTC TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 438 AM MST TUE FEB 24 2026
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
EXPECT VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS TO START THE TAF PERIOD AS A WEATHER
SYSTEM MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE REGION. CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY DROP
TO MVFR AND IFR, FIRST AT KJAC AROUND 14Z, FOLLOWED BY KPNA AND KBPI
LATER TUESDAY MORNING. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE IS A BIT
OF UNCERTAINTY AT KJAC AS TO WHEN RAIN WILL TURN TO SNOW, AND IF
THIS TRANSITION TAKES LONGER, ANTICIPATE MVFR TO IFR FLIGHT
CONDITIONS TO OCCUR LATER AS WELL. ONCE PRECIPITATION BEGINS AT
KJAC, KPNA, AND KBPI, EXPECT REDUCED FLIGHT CONDITIONS THE REMAINDER
OF THE TAF PERIOD. AT KRKS, THERE IS A 70% CHANCE THAT PRECIPITATION
AND/OR MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL AT LEAST 01Z
WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, THERE IS A 30% CHANCE OF A STRAY RAIN SHOWER
WITH ASSOCIATED MVFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS IS REFLECTED
IN A PROP30 GROUP. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED MUCH OF THE
PERIOD, ESPECIALLY AT KJAC.
GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT KJAC AND KRKS A MAJORITY OF THE TAF
PERIOD WITH GUSTS OF 30KTS TO 40KTS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY THIS
AFTERNOON. AT KBPI, GUSTY WINDS ARE FORECAST TO OCCUR DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. WINDS REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT AT KPNA THROUGH AT
LEAST 08Z WEDNESDAY.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO START THE TAF PERIOD AS A
WEATHER SYSTEM BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. OF THE EAST OF THE
DIVIDE TERMINALS, KCOD HAS THE GREATEST CHANCE (50%) OF SEEING ANY
RAIN, AND ASSOCIATED REDUCED FLIGHT CONDITIONS, THIS TAF PERIOD
BEGINNING AROUND 18Z AND A 30% CHANCE AFTER 21Z. THE MOST LIKELY
(50% TO 80% CHANCE) SCENARIO IS THAT PRECIPITATION WILL STAY
CONFINED TO THE MOUNTAINS WEST OF KCOD. THERE EXISTS POTENTIAL FOR
VCSH AT KCPR AND A 30% CHANCE OF RAIN AND MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS AT
KWRL THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT KRIW
AND KLND REMAIN DRY. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED AROUND KCOD
MOST OF THE PERIOD.
WESTERLY GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT KCOD AND KCPR AT VARIOUS TIMES
THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. GUSTS AT THESE TWO TERMINALS WILL LARGELY
REMAIN BETWEEN 20KTS AND 30KTS, WITH AN OCCASIONAL GUST UP TO 40KTS
NOT OUT OF QUESTION. NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE FORECAST AT KRIW AND
KLND WITH GUSTS AROUND 20KTS THIS AFTERNOON.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1150 UTC TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 450 AM MST TUE FEB 24 2026
VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL REDEVELOP ACROSS ALL TERMINALS THIS
MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. IF WINDS DECOUPLE
TONIGHT, LLWS CAN THEN BE EXPECTED BETWEEN 1500 TO 2000 FEET AGL.
HIGH CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY LOWER AND THICKEN AS SOME LIGHT RAIN MAY
DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VERY WINDY AFTER 15Z FOR ALL TERMINALS WITH
GUSTS LIKELY BETWEEN 35 TO 50 KNOTS. KCDR AND KAIA WILL HAVE SLIGHTLY
WEAKER WINDS, BUT STILL GUSTING TO 35 KNOTS. WINDS WILL SLOWLY
DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET WITH LLWS LIKELY FOR THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING
TERMINALS AFTER 03Z WEDNESDAY.
LIGHT RAIN IS POSSIBLE FOR KRWL, KLAR, AND KCYS WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW
MIXING IN TONIGHT AT KLAR. DO NOT EXPECT VIS BELOW 3 MILES, BUT CIGS
UNDER 3000 FEET ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY AROUND KLAR AND KRWL.
