PASSING STORMS WILL CREATE ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS AT OR ABOVE 30
KNOTS, WITH LOWERED CIGS. AFTER A BRIEF LULL THIS EVENING, MORE
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO ROLL THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY TOMORROW
MORNING.
KPUB...
EAST-SOUTHEAST WINDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WITH INCREASING MID-LEVEL

NEAR THE TERMINAL LATER THIS AFTERNOON, STARTING AROUND 21Z, BUT
CONFIDENCE IN ANY PRECIPITATION OVER KPUB DOESN'T INCREASE UNTIL
AFTER 00-02Z OR SO. LEFT AS PROB30 FOR NOW DUE TO SPARSE COVERAGE OF
EXPECTED SHOWERS. CLOUDS WILL LOWER OVERNIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW
MORNING, LIKELY REMAINING IN MVFR TO HIGH-IFR.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 430 AM MDT WED APR 29 2026
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH THIS MORNING. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. MOST
CONVECTIVE SHOWERS WILL DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET. AN AREA OF RAIN WILL
DEVELOP IN CENTRAL WYOMING THIS EVENING, WHICH WILL IMPACT KLND AND
KRIW. CONDITIONS WILL DROP TO MVFR AT THESE TERMINALS, ESPECIALLY AS
THE RAIN MIXES WITH SNOW LATE THIS EVENING. RAIN MAY CHANGE TO ALL
SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT AT KRIW AND KLND, WITH CIGS LOWERING TO IFR AND
POSSIBLY LIFR. INCLUDED MVFR VIS AT KJAC THIS AFTERNOON AS HEAVIER
SHOWERS MAY REDUCE VIS. TERMINALS WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS AND PROB30S IN THE TAFS ARE KCOD, KCPR, KJAC, KLND,
AND KRIW. ADDED PROB30S FOR RAIN SHOWERS AT KBPI AND KPNA.
THERE WILL BE A MODEST INCREASE IN WIND THIS AFTERNOON AVERAGING 8-
13 KNOTS ACROSS THE AREA. SOME GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE (30%) AT KCPR AND
KRKS. WIND GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST
SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION WILL OCCUR AT TIMES, MAINLY WITH CONVECTION THIS
AFTERNOON.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 536 AM MDT WED APR 29 2026
FOG REMAINS IN THE VICINITY OF BFF, AIA, AND SNY THIS MORNING.
THIS MAY STILL SPILL OVER THE TERMINALS OVER THE NEXT 2-3 HOURS
AND PRODUCE IFR CONDITIONS, BUT CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY LOW IN
TIMING AND EXTENT OF FOG DUE TO THE VERY LIGHT WINDS. AFTER
THAT, EXPECT NORTHWEST WINDS OCCASIONALLY GUSTING AROUND 20
KNOTS TODAY. WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
BRIEF VIS DROPS, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS, AND A FEW LIGHTNING
STRIKES. OVERALL COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION TODAY WILL BE FAIRLY
LOW, SO THIS IS HANDLED WITH PROB30 GROUPS AT THIS TIME.
MID LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL HOLD OVERNIGHT AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE
NORTH OR NORTHEAST. ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS MAY
DEVELOP TOWARDS THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD NEAR WY TERMINALS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1112 PM MDT TUE APR 28 2026
MAIN CONCERN WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR FOG OVERNIGHT AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING AT KMCK. MODELS FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN SHOWING
FOG DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA NEAR CENTER OF A
SURFACE RIDGE. WINDS DO TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST TOWARDS 12Z WHICH
IS AN UNFAVORABLE DIRECTION FOR FOG, BUT THEY MAY BE TOO LIGHT
TO PREVENT DEVELOPMENT. THE FOG WILL QUICKLY SCOUR OUT BY 14Z AS
THOSE SOUTHWEST WINDS PERSIST, WITH A RETURN TO VFR. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON WITH A LOW PROBABILITY (LESS THAN 20%) OF IMPACTING
EITHER KMCK OR KGLD. CHANCES GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY EVENING, BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS
TIME TO MENTION IN EITHER TAF.

FLIGHT CATEGORY WILL BE THE RESULT FOR THE REST OF THE TIME
