AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1135 PM MDT MON APR 6 2026
A WEAK/DIFFUSE CYCLONE IS EVIDENT FROM OBSERVATIONS ACROSS THE
METRO, WITH STRONGER EASTERLY FLOW LOCATED EAST OF THE TERMINALS.
THAT PATTERN SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS,
WITH THE CYCLONE EVENTUALLY BECOMING A LITTLE BETTER DEFINED LATER
TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. BIGGEST QUESTION IS IF ANY STRATUS
DOES MANAGE TO DEVELOP. MOST CAMS DO GET LOW CLOUD COVER TO THE
NORTH/EAST OF DEN BUT ARE FAIRLY ADAMANT THAT THE ONLY CLOUD COVER
TOMORROW MORNING WILL BE A BKN DECK ABOVE 12KFT AGL. DID LEAVE THE
TEMPO IN FOR DEN BUT WILL LIKELY MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS OVERNIGHT.
WON'T SEE A SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION IN THE WIND PATTERNS ON TUESDAY
WITH A GENERALLY EASTERLY FLOW THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. MAIN
CONCERN WILL BE SOME ISOLATED OR WIDELY SCATTERED HIGH BASED
SHOWERS. DCAPE VALUES DO EVENTUALLY EXCEED 1000 J/KG SO A FEW
GUSTS OF 30KT SEEMS PLAUSIBLE. I SUSPECT OVERALL COVERAGE WILL BE
FAIRLY LOW AND SO THE TEMPO FOR GUSTS WAS REVERTED TO A PROB30 FOR
GUSTY -SHRA (ALTHOUGH MOST OF THIS WILL BE VIRGA).
DRAINAGE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO KICK IN A LITTLE EARLIER THAN
NORMAL TUESDAY EVENING, PERHAPS AS EARLY AS 01-02Z. GUIDANCE IS
FAIRLY BULLISH ON A PERIOD OF STRONGER DRAINAGE FLOW IN THE
EVENING WITH A SLOW WEAKENING TREND OVERNIGHT.

KCOS, KPUB, AND KALS: VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. ANY GUSTY WINDS AT KCOS AND KPUB ARE EXPECTED TO LESSEN EARLY
IN THIS TAF PERIOD, WITH LIGHT WINDS, AROUND AND AND LESS THAN 10
KNOTS, EXPECTED FOR ALL THREE TAF SITES THROUGH THE REST OF THIS TAF
PERIOD. WITH THAT SAID, HIGH BASED SHOWERS, WITH THUNDER POSSIBLE,
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TOMORROW AFTERNOON, WHICH COULD CAUSE GUSTY
OUTFLOW WINDS AND BRIEF PERIODS OF RAIN. OTHERWISE THOUGH, DRY
CONDITIONS WITH MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS PERSIST.

REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
KSGU IS CURRENTLY
EXPERIENCING ELEVATED WINDS AND GUSTS, LIKELY SUBSIDING BY 08Z. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS ALL OF OUR TAF SITES. DIURNAL WIND
SHIFTS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR, AND GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL
SITES WITH THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF GUSTS >20KTS AT KEVW. THERE IS
A LOW CONFIDENCE SCENARIO OF GUSTY SHOWERS IMPACTING KLGU TOMORROW
AFTERNOON, ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT
THIS TIME.

THE MAIN WEATHER ELEMENT FOR TODAY IS WIND. WINDS BEGIN TO INCREASE
BETWEEN 15Z AND 18Z THIS MORNING, WITH WIDESPREAD GUSTS 25 TO 35
KNOTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT, SOME INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS OCCUR ACROSS THE REGION, WITH
SOME LOW RAIN SHOWER CHANCES (20 TO 30 PERCENT) FOR KCOD, KJAC, AND
KWRL. ANY SHOWER HAS THE CHANCE (15 PERCENT) TO BECOME A
THUNDERSTORM. THE FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE IN FROM THE NORTH TOWARDS THE
END OF THE PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

LOW, MVFR CEILINGS HAVE DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT AT KCYS AND KSNY.
THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR THESE CEILINGS TO DROP INTO THE IFR
CATEGORY, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW. INCLUDED TEMPO GROUPS FOR THE
MOST FAVORED TIME TO SEE IFR CONDITIONS AT THESE TERMINALS, PLUS
KBFF WHICH MAY SEE LOWERING CEILINGS OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO.
CEILINGS LIFT BY MID-MORNING, WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTY CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED AT ALL
TERMINALS, WITH KRWL LIKELY SEEING THE HIGHEST GUSTS. HIGHLY
ISOLATED SHOWERS LOOK TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON IN AND AROUND
MOST TERMINALS EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. GUSTY, ERRATIC WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY SHOWER THAT DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON.

FOR KGLD & KMCK... MVFR CEILINGS AROUND 1000-1500FT ARE FORECAST
THROUGH 16Z-18Z THIS MORNING. ON TOP OF THE LOW CEILINGS, ICING
IS A HAZARD THROUGH ABOUT 16Z AS WELL. A FEW SHOWERS ARE ALSO
TRYING TO DEVELOP AROUND THE TERMINALS. ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE
CLEAR BY 20Z, WITH EITHER CLEAR SKIES OR CLOUDS ABOVE 10000FT.
WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE AROUND 10-15 KTS THROUGH MOST OF THE
DAY WHILE SLOWLY SHIFTING TO OUT OF THE SOUTH. FINALLY, BE ALERT
FOR SOME LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR TONIGHT AFTER 01Z. THE CHANCE IS
HIGHER AT KMCK, BUT WINDS AROUND 200-400FT COULD REACH 45 KTS.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1125 PM MDT MON APR 6 2026
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT AS A
WEAKLY CLOSED LOW CROSSES THE STATE. MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO STAY SOUTH OF I-40 THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. MVFR
CIGS AS WELL AS MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS
ACTIVITY. ON TUESDAY, ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP FOCUSED ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN. GUSTY
WINDS AND BRIEF MVFR CIGS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE WITH THE SHOWERS,
BUT GENERAL IMPROVEMENT IN CIGS/VSBY IS EXPECTED ELSEWHERE.
SHOWERS AND ANY REMAINING THUNDERSTORMS WILL SLOWLY TAPER OFF AS
THEY SHIFT TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST TUESDAY NIGHT.
