RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1056 UTC SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 448 AM MDT SAT MAR 14 2026
A COMBINATION OF WIND AND PRECIPITATION WILL IMPACT THE
TERMINALS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY. MOST TAF SITES WILL SEE WIND GUSTS
PAST 30 KNOTS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TODAY, WITH SOME
GUSTS TO 50 KNOTS POSSIBLE (AROUND A 50 PERCENT CHANCE) IN
VICINITY OF KLND, KRIW, KCPR AND KRKS. EVEN STRONGER GUSTS MAY
OCCUR AS A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE AREA FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SHOWERS WILL IMPACT KJAC
STARTING LATER THIS MORNING AND THEN PUSH FURTHER EAST AND SOUTH
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WITH MOST SHOWERS ENDING BY 07Z
SUNDAY AS THE FRONT MOVES AWAY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. MOST
LOCATIONS WILL HAVE A CHANCE AT MVFR CONDITIONS WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE WITH IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS.
THE BEST CHANCE OF THIS WILL BE AT KCPR WHERE WE HAVE PREVAILED
IFR CONDITIONS. A COUPLE LOCATIONS MAY SEE A THUNDERSTORM THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO PREVAIL. WIND
SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE AFTER 04Z FROM WEST TO EAST BUT REMAIN
ELEVATED THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN THE TERMINALS
EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1113 UTC SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 511 AM MDT SAT MAR 14 2026
VERY GUSTY WINDS WILL RETURN TO MOST TERMINALS THROUGHOUT THE
DAY TODAY, WITH KCYS, KLAR, AND KRWL SEEING INCREASING WINDS IN
THE NEXT 2 TO 3 HOURS. UNTIL WINDS INCREASE, LOW-LEVEL WIND
SHEAR IS EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA STARTING AROUND 02Z AT KCDR AND CONTINUING
NORTH TO SOUTH. TIMED THE COLD FRONT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE WITHIN
THE TAFS. LOWERING CEILINGS AND RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED
BEHIND THE FRONT, WITH VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS LIKELY.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 700 AM CDT SAT MAR 14 2026
SKIES WILL GRADUALLY FILL IN TODAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
TRACKS OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA. THE CLOSE
PROXIMITY OF THIS LOW WILL INTRODUCE MULTIPLE WIND CHANGES, AND
CONFIDENCE IN TIMING AND MAGNITUDES IS MEDIUM AT BEST.
LATER TONIGHT, WINDS WILL AGAIN VEER TO THE NORTHWEST AS A
STRONG COLD FRONT ARRIVES FROM THE NORTHWEST. GUSTS WILL RAPIDLY
INCREASE BEHIND THIS FEATURE WITH PEAK SPEEDS APPROACHING 45 TO
50 KNOTS. STRONGEST GUSTS SHOULD OCCUR JUST BEHIND THE FRONT AND
THEN AGAIN BEYOND THE END OF THE VALID PERIOD. SNOW SHOWERS WITH
VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS WILL LIKELY IMPACT VTN, BUT CONFIDENCE
IN MAGNITUDE OF IMPACTS IS LIMITED AT THIS TIME.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY FORECAST FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS
TAF PERIOD. WINDS ARE FORECAST TO EVENTUALLY BECOME
SOUTHWESTERLY ACROSS ALL OF THE AREA WITH BREEZY WINDS GUSTING
20-30 KNOTS. FOCUS IS ON A STRONG COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT SHIFTING
WINDS TO THE NORTH WITH STRONG TO DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. BLOWING
DUST MAY ACCOMPANY THE FRONT BUT CONFIDENCE IN DIRECT IMPACTS TO
EITHER TERMINAL ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT THIS
TIME FOR FLIGHT CATEGORICAL IMPACTS. RAIN AND SNOW IS ALSO
POSSIBLE TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD WHICH WITH THE WINDY
CONDITIONS WOULD LOWER VISIBILITY AS WELL. CAN'T RULE OUT SOME
SMOKE REDUCING VISIBILITIES TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR
MCK FROM FIRES IN WESTERN NEBRASKA. AGAIN CONFIDENCE IS NOT
HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME.

HIGH CIRRUS CLOUDS ARE CONTINUING TO STEADILY INCREASE FROM THE
WEST, BUT CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
INCREASE LATE THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE WEST AS A POTENT TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES. GUSTS OF 20 TO 35 KT WILL BE COMMON IN
THE LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING (14/2100UTC - 15/0200UTC).
WINDS ALOFT WILL KEEP STRENGTHENING TONIGHT WHILE SURFACE SPEEDS
IN SOME VALLEYS AND LOWER ELEVATIONS DECREASE AFTER DARK. THIS
WILL CREATE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR TONIGHT WITH MOUNTAIN WAVE
ACTIVITY DEVELOPING TO THE LEE (EAST) OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGES,
PARTICULARLY THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN OF NEW MEXICO.
