WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KJAC/KRKS/KPNA/KBPI TERMINALS
SNOW SHOWERS, WITH IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO END
AT KJAC SHORTLY AFTER THE START OF THE TAF PERIOD. SIMILAR
SHOWERS WITH MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH KBPI/KPNA BY
THE START OF THE FORECAST, BUT WILL END BY 08Z. ADDITIONAL SNOW
SHOWERS WITH IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS WILL REDEVELOP AT KJAC AROUND
09Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH AROUND 18Z. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR LIFR
CONDITIONS AT TIMES BETWEEN 10Z AND 14Z. SNOW WILL REDEVELOP AT
KBPI/KPNA BETWEEN 12Z AND 16Z AS WELL, WITH IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS.
KRKS REMAINS WELL AWAY FROM ANY PRECIP, WITH ONLY MIDLEVEL
CLOUDS VARYING THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
INCREASE BY 15Z, WITH FREQUENT GUSTS REACHING 40KT BY 20Z.
WIND AND SNOW WILL END ACROSS THE AREA AFTER 01Z.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCPR/KCOD/KRIW/KLND/KWRL TERMINALS
A BAND OF SNOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHWARD OVER THE WIND
RIVER BASIN, WITH ANY SNOW ENDING AT KRIW/KLND BY 08Z. SNOW
SHOWERS DEVELOPED OVER KCPR EARLIER THIS EVENING AND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH 10Z. IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR WITH THE
SNOW, WITH KCPR HAVING THE WORSE CONDITIONS. THERE IS A CHANCE
FOR VLIFR/LIFR CONDITIONS TO OCCUR AT TIMES THROUGH 10Z.
SNOW WILL REDEVELOP AFTER 11Z, WITH KCOD BEING THE MAIN
TERMINAL IMPACTED. MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR WITH THE
SNOW. HAVE INCLUDED A PROB30 GROUP FOR KCPR DUE TO THE SHOWERY
NATURE OF THE SNOW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 0908 UTC FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1145 PM MDT THU APR 23 2026
ACTIVE WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED AT TERMINAL LOCATIONS TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW. AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING
THROUGH OUR NORTHERN WY COUNTIES INTO THE NE PANHANDLE AND
SHOULD BE IMPACTING KCDR SHORTLY. REDUCED VISIBILITIES ARE
BEING REPORTED AT A FEW WEATHER STATIONS WEST OF KCDR, SO IT IS
POSSIBLE THESE LOW VISIBILITIES IMPACT THE TERMINAL AND SEND
CIGS TO IVF. KAIA MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE LOWER CEILINGS IN THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. VARIABLE SURFACE WINDS AT KCYS ARE EXPECTED TO
CREATE LLWS GIVEN THE STRONGER FLOW ALOFT OVERNIGHT. KLAR MAY
ALSO EXPERIENCE SOME LLWS CONCERNS AROUND DAY BREAK. AS A
COLD FRONT MOVES INTO OUR AREA, EXPECT WINDS AHEAD OF IT TO
PICK UP STARTING AT KRWL AND SPREAD EAST TO IMPACT ALL TERMINALS
IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WIND GUSTS OF 30-40 KTS OUT OF
THE W BEFORE THE COLD FRONT SHIFTS THE WINDS OUT OF THE NORTH OR
NORTHWEST. AN AREA OF SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE NE
PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON WHICH MAY IMPACT KBFF AND KCDR.
CEILINGS ALSO LOWER FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT AT THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD, POSSIBLY APPROACHING MVFR.
