AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1019 AM MST SUN DEC 21 2025
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
A WEATHER SYSTEM WILL IMPACT WESTERN WYOMING THIS TAF PERIOD AS WEST-
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT STRENGTHENS. KJAC WILL SEE THE MOST IMPACTS
WITH MVFR TO IFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS, WITH LESSER CHANCES (20-30%) OF
IFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS AT KPNA AND KBPI. EXPECT SNOW THROUGH 19Z AT
KPNA AND 21Z AT KJAC BEFORE PRECIPITATION SWITCHES OVER TO RAIN AS
TEMPERATURES RAISE ABOVE FREEZING. AS SNOW TRANSITIONS TO RAIN,
SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN FLIGHT CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED. HOWEVER,
CONTINUED MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION CAN BE EXPECTED. KRKS WILL LIKELY
(90%) REMAIN PRECIPITATION FREE WITH VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS.
WITH STRONG WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT, WIND SHEAR AND MOUNTAIN WAVE
ACTIVITY IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR AT KJAC BUT CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT
KBPI (30% CONFIDENCE). GUSTY WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED MOST OF THE TAF
PERIOD AT ALL WEST OF THE DIVIDE TERMINALS, ESPECIALLY AT KJAC AND
KRKS WHERE GUSTS AROUND 30KTS ARE EXPECTED AFTER 21Z.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH (80-90%) THAT VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST
THE ENTIRE TAF PERIOD FOR ALL EAST OF THE DIVIDE TERMINALS. KCPR
WILL SEE THE GUSTIEST WINDS THIS TAF PERIOD AS WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT STRENGTHENS. THE FLOW ALOFT IS FORECAST TO BE THE STRONGEST
BETWEEN 00Z AND 18Z MONDAY. WINDS BECOME GUSTY AT ALL OTHER EAST OF
THE DIVIDE TERMINALS BETWEEN 03Z TO 04Z MONDAY. WITH THE STRONG
WINDS ALOFT, WIND SHEAR AND MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY IS MOST LIKELY TO
OCCUR AT KCOD AND KLND. THERE IS A 20-30% CHANCE IN A STRAY RAIN
SHOWER COMING OFF THE MOUNTAINS AROUND KLND AND KCOD BETWEEN 20Z AND
02Z. CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER (30%) AT KLND SO THIS CHANCE IS REFLECTED
IN A PROB30 GROUP. GIVEN THE LOWER CONFIDENCE AT KCOD, OPTED TO KEEP
ANY MENTION OF PRECIPITATION OUT OF THE TAF AT THIS TIME. OCCASIONAL
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WIND RIVER RANGE AND THE
ABSAROKAS.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE DURATION OF THIS TAF PERIOD WITH
WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY STORY ONCE AGAIN. WINDS REALLY RAMP UP
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS INTO THE AFTERNOON, STRONGEST ACROSS THE
WYOMING TERMINALS, WITH SOUTHWEST GUSTS INCREASING INTO THE 20
TO 35 KNOT RANGE, EXCEPT KRWL WHERE GUSTS COULD TOP OUT NEAR 45
KNOTS. IN ADDITION, MOST TERMINALS WILL SEE LLWS AT SOME POINT
IN THE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
MAIN AVIATION CONCERNS WILL FOCUS ON EXPECTED GUSTY WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON BECOMING STRONG LLWS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO
EARLY MONDAY. HAVE EXPANDED COVERAGE AND TIMING OF LLWS FOR BOTH
TERMINALS AND THOUGH A BRIEF LAPSE MAY OCCUR AT LBF, WINDS
SHOULD AGAIN STRENGTHEN CLOSER TO DAYBREAK.

VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST FOR THE TAFS. BREEZY WINDS SHOULD BECOME
LIGHT FOR KMCK AT 0Z. HOWEVER THEY MAY LAST LONGER FOR KGLD.
BETWEEN 6-12Z A SURFACE TROUGH/WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA FROM GENERALLY WEST TO EAST. DURING
THIS TIME WINDS WILL VARY FROM SOUTH TO WEST OR NORTHWEST IN THE
FIRST TWO THOUSAND FEET AGL. THE WIND DIRECTION SHOULD TURN
GRADUALLY ENOUGH WITH HEIGHT TO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR LLWS.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1122 AM CST SUN DEC 21 2025
A SOUTHERLY WIND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THIS NEW TAF
PERIOD AS A LEESIDE TROUGH REMAINS ANCHORED ALONG THE FRONT
RANGE OF COLORADO. A FAIRLY STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WILL DEVELOP IN
THE 03-06Z TIME FRAME LATE THIS EVENING, SO WE WILL CONTINUE
WITH LLWS GROUP AT ALL FOUR TERMINALS DDC, GCK, HYS, AND LBL. ON
MONDAY, WINDS WILL DIMINISH IN STRENGTH AND BECOME WESTERLY. LOW
LEVEL STRATUS CLOUD IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST
OF DDC, BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE DDC TAF AS
THE EDGE OF THE LOW CLOUD AND/OR FOG IS LIKELY TO REMAIN JUST TO
THE EAST OF DDC.
