RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1118 UTC FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2025
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 354 AM MST FRI DEC 5 2025
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST 16Z AT KJAC, WITH IFR
CONDITIONS. 20 TO 40% CHANCES CONTINUE TO EXIST THAT KBPI AND
KPNA WILL ALSO SEE SOME SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH 15Z, WITH KPNA
BEING THE MORE LIKELY TERMINAL TO SEE THOSE SNOW SHOWERS. MVFR
CONDITIONS WOULD BE EXPECTED IF THOSE SNOW SHOWERS OCCUR. A WAVE
WILL ALSO BRING SNOW SHOWERS NEAR KRKS THROUGH 15Z AS WELL.
OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AS A RESULT. MOST MODELS
ARE INDICATING A LULL IN SNOWFALL BETWEEN 15Z AND 21Z, WHICH
COULD BRING KJAC UP TO VFR, HOWEVER, GIVEN WESTERLY FLOW AND
OROGRAPHICS, EXPECT KJAC TO REMAIN MARGINAL MVFR CONDITIONS DURING
THE LULL. A MUCH HEAVIER PERIOD OF SNOW IS THEN EXPECTED
BEGINNING AROUND 23Z AT KJAC WHICH WILL LAST THROUGH THE REST
OF THE PERIOD. EXPECT IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF THE
NIGHT AS A RESULT. THIS MORE POTENT PUSH OF SNOW LOOKS TO
IMPACT KBPI AND KPNA (70% CHANCE) AS WELL AS KRKS (50% CHANCE)
LATE IN THE PERIOD. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT GUSTY WINDS
WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE SNOW, WITH GUSTS 25 TO 30KT AFTER 06Z.
THIS COULD LEAD TO BLOWING SNOW, ESPECIALLY AT KRKS, WHERE GUSTS
AROUND 40KT WILL OCCUR.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
WITH THE APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM, WIND WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN
EAST OF THE DIVIDE, WITH MOST TERMINALS SEEING WINDS STAYING
LIGHT (10KT OR LESS) THROUGH THE DAY. BY THE START OF THE
PERIOD. THE EXCEPTIONS WILL BE KCPR WHICH WILL HAVE SUSTAINED
WINDS AROUND 14KT. MIDLEVEL CIGS ALSO WILL BE EXPECTED
IN THE MORNING FOR MOST TERMINALS. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SEEING SOME SNOW SHOWERS OUT OF THOSE LOWER CIGS, WITH MOST
LIKELY CHANCES AT KWRL (30% CHANCE) BUT KCPR (20% CHANCE) AND
KCOD (10% CHANCE) MAY ALSO SEE OCCASIONAL SNOW SHOWERS. THE MID-
LEVEL CIGS SHOULD FILTER OUT BY MIDDAY, WITH BKN-OVC FL050-100
CLOUDS IN PLACE AFTER 00Z. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AFTER
00Z AT KCOD AND AFTER 05Z ELSEWHERE. GUSTS OF 25 TO 30KT WILL
OCCUR DURING THESE TIMES FOR ALL TERMINALS EXCEPT KWRL.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 0545 UTC FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2025
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1045 PM MST THU DEC 4 2025
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS ACROSS MAINLY
SOUTHEAST WYOMING AS A STRONG PACIFIC JET MAX MOVES INTO THE AREA.
WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHEAST WYOMING WITH
INTERMITTENT BREAKS AT TIMES. TWO UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND LATE FRIDAY NIGHT BRINGING SOME BANDS OF
SNOW TO THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE
WESTERN NEBRASKA TERMINALS WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS AFTER 17Z AS WINDS
SHIFT INTO THE NORTHWEST. IT WILL BE CLOUDY, BUT CIGS SHOULD STAY
ABOVE 5000 FEET AGL.
FOR SOUTHEAST WYOMING, LOWER CONFIDENCE FORECAST, ESPECIALLY FOR
KRWL SINCE A FEW BANDS OF MODERATE SNOW WITH IFR CONDITIONS CAN'T BE
RULED OUT TONIGHT. HOWEVER, THE TIMING IS UNCERTAIN. LESS OF A
CHANCE FOR KLAR AND KCYS DUE TO DOWNSLOPE WINDS. IT WILL REMAIN
WINDY THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY BEFORE WINDS START TO
DIMINISH A BIT AFTER 21Z-23Z.

WINDS ARE VEERING TOWARDS THE NORTHWEST CURRENTLY. STILL
FORECASTING BREEZY WIND GUSTS OF 20-30 KNOTS DEVELOPING LATE
MORNING AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH THE STRONGEST
AT GLD. GUIDANCE HAS BEEN COMING IN A BIT STRONGER ON THE WINDS
SO CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH IN THIS OCCURRING. WINDS OVERNIGHT
ARE THEN FORECAST TO BACK BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT.
WATCHING FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW FLURRIES OR SPRINKLE
POTENTIAL FOR EACH TERMINAL THIS AFTERNOON. TOWARDS THE LATTER
PART OF THIS PERIOD AND INTO THE NEXT SOME RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE FOR EACH TERMINAL. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR BUT THIS
MAY BE THE NEXT POTENTIAL FOR A REDUCTION IN FLIGHT CATEGORIES.
