ISSUED AT 953 PM MDT FRI MAY 22 2026
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. ISOLATED VIRGA/LIGHT
RAIN SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP SATURDAY AFTERNOON. CHANCES ARE MUCH TOO
LOW (10%) TO INCLUDE EVEN PROB30 GROUPS FOR RAIN. DID KEEP THE VCSH
AT KCOD AS SOME SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP IN THE ABSAROKAS IN THE VICINITY
OF KCOD. ALL TERMINALS HAVE A DECENT CHANCE (30%) OF DOWNDRAFTS AND
OUTFLOWS FROM THE SHOWERS. AN ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKE CANNOT BE
RULED OUT AS WELL. WIND WILL INCREASE SATURDAY MORNING INTO SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. MOST TERMINALS WILL HAVE WIND INCREASE TO 10-20 KNOTS,
WITH GUSTS OF 20-30 KNOTS THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WIND SHOULD
DROP OFF SUBSTANTIALLY BY 02Z SUNDAY.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1031 PM MDT FRI MAY 22 2026
VFR REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE TAF PERIOD. 5-10 KNOT SW FLOW WILL
PERSIST UNTIL 18Z BEFORE WINDS VEER TO WESTERLY. GUSTS OF 25-30
KNOTS ARE ANTICIPATED AT KRWL AND KLAR AFTER 20Z, WHEREAS THE
REMAINING TERMINALS CAN EXPECT GUSTS UP TO 20 KNOTS. AT THIS TIME,
MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY FOR A FEW HIGH-BASED SHOWERS WHICH MAY
BRIEFLY LOWER CIGS, HOWEVER THESE WILL PRODUCE MORE WIND THAN RAIN
THANKS TO A DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER AND WEAK MID-LEVEL INSTABILITY. CAN
EXPECT GUSTS UP TO 40 KNOTS IN THE VICINITY OF THESE SHOWERS AND
VARIABLE WIND DIRECTIONS, HOWEVER THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY (20%
CHANCE) THAT ANY TERMINALS WILL SEE ANY DIRECT IMPACTS.
