CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO LARGELY REMAIN LOW-END VFR IN THE RAIN,
EXCEPT FOR A 40% CHANCE OF PERIODS OF MVFR DURING HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION MAINLY BETWEEN 09-11Z. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT NORTHERLY
OR VARIABLE (OWING TO PRECIPITATION) THROUGH AROUND 08Z BEFORE THE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS TO SUPPORT STRONGER NORTHERLIES AGAIN, WITH WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON.

FAIRLY WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL UTAH INTO MONDAY MORNING, AND ACROSS NORTHEAST UTAH AND
SOUTHWEST WYOMING THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW LEVELS
WILL LIKELY FALL TO BETWEEN 5-6KFT MSL, LOWEST LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING. TERMINALS LOCATED ABOVE THE SNOW LEVEL WILL LIKELY
SEE IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW, WHILE THOSE BELOW THE SNOW LEVEL
WILL SEE LARGELY VFR CONDITIONS WITH PERIODIC MVFR IN AREAS OF
HEAVIER RAIN. OTHERWISE, WINDS WILL BE LARGELY NORTHERLY FOR MUCH
OF THE AREA TO NORTHEASTERLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST WYOMING AND NORTHEAST

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1000 PM MDT SUN MAY 17 2026
IMPACTFUL WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT WYOMING
AIRPORTS OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY. LOCATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
SEEING RAIN WILL LIKELY SWITCH OVER TO SNOW AFTER 18/0600Z, AND
WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST AT MANY LOCATIONS IN
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WYOMING. COD LOOKS TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE
PRECIPITATION, BUT SHOWERS WILL IMPACT THE NEARBY TERRAIN.
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL BE UBIQUITOUS OVER THE NEXT 18 HOURS.
CPR AND LND ARE WORTH MENTIONING SPECIFICALLY FOR SNOWFALL, AS
THESE LOCATIONS WILL SEE SNOW CONTINUE INTO MONDAY EVENING DUE
TO FAVORABLE UPSLOPE FLOW. ELSEWHERE, SNOW SHOULD GENERALLY
TAPER OFF DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS MONDAY.
EXPECT GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WITH THIS SYSTEM, GUSTING
IN TO THE 20 TO 30 KT RANGE FOR MOST LOCATIONS. RKS WILL BE
WINDIEST GIVEN ITS POSITION CLOSE TO THE STORM CENTER, SO GUSTS
WILL LIKELY BE HIGHER, IN THE 40 TO 50 KT RANGE OVERNIGHT. RKS
ALSO HAS A CHANCE (40%) OF MORNING FOG ON TUESDAY.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 557 PM MDT SUN MAY 17 2026
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS, WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS,
ARE MOVING THROUGH THE WYOMING TERMINALS. VISIBILITIES OF 2 TO 5
STATUE MILES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY OVER
KLAR AND KCYS. CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE AT
WYOMING TERMINALS OVERNIGHT WITH IFR AND LIFR CONDITIONS WITH
INCREASING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY. PARTICULARLY OF
CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM IS GUIDANCE IS TRENDING TOWARDS HIGHER
SNOW AND WIND POTENTIAL. HEAVY SNOW AND WIND GUSTS TO 50 KTS MAY
OCCUR IN THE MOUNTAIN BASINS TO IMPACT KRWL REDUCING HORIZONTAL
VISIBILITIES DOWN TO 1/4 SM OR LESS AND VERTICAL VISIBILITIES
TO THE SURFACE. AT KLAR AND KCYS, WHILE NOT AS SEVERE IN
CONDITIONS AS KRWL, WILL MOST LIKELY BE IN LIFR CONDITIONS WITH
HEAVY SNOW AND CEILINGS BELOW 500 FEET. SHOWER ACTIVITY AT THE
NEBRASKA PANHANDLES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD TO INDUCE MVFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES, PARTICULARLY
AT KBFF. IT IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME IF THE RAIN WILL
TRANSITION TO SNOW AT THESE TERMINALS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1224 AM CDT MON MAY 18 2026
INCREASING CLOUDS WILL BRING EXTENSIVE DEGRADED AVIATION
CONDITIONS FOR WESTERN NEBRASKA TERMINALS.
EARLY MORNING SATELLITE SHOWS LOW CLOUDS EXPANDING ACROSS SOUTH
DAKOTA TO THE NORTH AND KANSAS TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS BEHIND A
COLD FRONT THAT PASSED THROUGH THE AREA EARLIER TODAY. EXPECT
LOW STRATUS TO EVENTUALLY FILL IN OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA WITH
PROLONGED MVFR CONDITIONS LIKELY. NORTHERN NEBRASKA, INCLUDING
THE VTN TERMINAL, COULD POTENTIALLY SEE IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS
BRIEFLY BY LATE MORNING. THIS IS HINTED AT BY THE USUALLY
RELIABLE HRRR OUTPUT WITH GFSLAMP SUGGESTING A LONGER DURATION
PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE DAYTIME. WILL KEEP THE LIFR
CONDITIONS BRIEF AND HIGHLIGHT THE LONGER IFR DURATION WITH
ADJUSTMENTS LIKELY IN LATER FORECASTS. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN
FAIRLY STEADY OUT OF THE NORTH WITH GUSTS RANGING FROM 20 TO 30
KNOTS ACROSS THE REGION.

STRATUS IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA AS CEILINGS ARE
FORECAST TO DROP TO MVFR. A GRADUALLY DROP TO IFR IS ALSO
FORECAST AS WELL ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LIGHT SHOWERS
OR DRIZZLE OVERNIGHT FOR EACH TERMINAL. CONFIDENCE IN THE
SHOWERS IS AROUND 20-30%. STRATUS IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE FOR
MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE DAY FOR EACH TERMINAL WITH PERHAPS A
BRIEF BREAK AROUND 00Z BEFORE RETURNING AGAIN AS THE SUN SETS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1158 PM CDT SUN MAY 17 2026
GUSTY NORTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY
MORNING BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT WILL BRIEFLY PUSH SOUTH TOWARD
LIBERAL. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL THEN LIFT NORTH AS A WARM
FRONT DURING THE DAY, ALLOWING GUSTY SOUTH WINDS TO RETURN. THE
BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO STALL NEAR GARDEN CITY DURING THE
AFTERNOON. THIS SETUP WILL KEEP WINDS NORTHERLY AT HAYS NOT ONLY
TONIGHT BUT ALSO ON MONDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP AT
DODGE CITY AND LIBERAL BETWEEN 15Z AND 18Z, WITH AFTERNOON GUSTS
REACHING 35 TO 40 KNOTS.THESE GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
SOME REDUCED VISIBILITIES DUE TO BLOWING DUST. WINDS WILL BE
MORE COMPLEX NEAR GARDEN CITY, WHERE THE FRONT STALLS, BUT A
NORTH TO SOUTH WIND SHIFT REMAINS POSSIBLE BETWEEN 16Z AND 20Z.
BUFR SOUNDINGS INDICATE VFR CONDITIONS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A
3-5HOUR TIME FRAME BETWEEN 06Z AND 15Z WHEN A PERIOD OF MVFR
CEILINGS WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE.

STRENGTHENING SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ALOFT ACROSS THE REGION
ALONGSIDE DECREASING SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT OF
LLWS THRU THE NIGHT. THIS WILL STEADILY SUBSIDE THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS AROUND DAWN AS SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WIND SPEEDS
BEGIN TO INCREASE AGAIN. STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY GUSTS WILL COMMONLY
REACH 25 TO 35 KTS OVER THE REGION WITH THE WEAKEST WIND SPEEDS
RELEGATED TO FAR NORTHWESTERN NM NEAR KFMN. THE STRONGEST GUSTS OF
40 TO 50 KTS WILL FOCUS ALONG AND IMMEDIATELY EAST OF THE SANGRE
DE CRISTO MTS. SOME PATCHY BLOWING DUST COULD ALSO REDUCE
VISIBILITIES AT SOME DUST PRONE TERMINALS MONDAY AFTERNOON,
INCLUDING AT KABQ AND KROW. AN AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING FOR GUSTS
REACHING OR JUST SURPASSING 35KTS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR KABQ AS WELL
MONDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS BEGIN TO TAPER OFF IN EARNEST PAST 00Z
MONDAY EVENING, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND
A COLD FRONT ADVANCING SOUTHWARD ALONG THE NM/TX BORDER MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
