VFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. DRAINAGE FLOW SHOULD BECOME MORE
VARIABLE LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON AS A LEE
CYCLONE DEVELOPS. THIS STILL LOOKS TO SET UP SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
APA/BKF. STEADY BUT GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED SOUTH
AND EAST OF THE BOUNDARY WITH LIGHTER EAST/NORTHEAST TO THE NORTH
OF THIS FEATURE. AS THE CYCLONE DRIFTS AWAY FROM THE TERMINALS
THERE MAY BE A COUPLE HOUR PERIOD OF STRONGER NORTHWESTERLIES AT
DEN BUT NOT SURE ON THE TIMING FOR THAT.
DRAINAGE WINDS WILL DEVELOP THIS EVENING, WITH A GRADUAL TURN BACK
TOWARDS THE WEST OVERNIGHT. GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS SHOULD
DEVELOP AT THE TERMINALS SHORTLY AFTER 12Z, WITH A FEW HOURS OF
LIGHT RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS ALSO POSSIBLE.

CEILINGS CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN. RA/SN CHANCES
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
EXPECT PERIODS OF WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR AND LOCAL LIFR CONDITIONS
BETWEEN 18Z-06Z, BUT REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS COULD
OCCUR OUTSIDE THIS TIMEFRAME. S-SW WINDS 10-20 KTS FORECAST
THROUGH 18Z, WITH GUSTS 30-40 KTS POSSIBLE AFTERWARDS.
OUTLOOK...FRIDAY 14/12Z THROUGH SUNDAY 16/12Z...ADDITIONAL
SHRA/SHSN EXPECTED BETWEEN 12Z FRIDAY AND 00Z SUNDAY. THIS WILL
RESULT IN CONTINUED MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA, WITH
PERIODS OF LOCALIZED LIFR POSSIBLE. IMPROVING CONDITIONS

AVIATION...KSLC
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AN
ABRUPT SHIFT TO NORTHWESTERLY WITH A COLD FRONT AROUND 02-03Z. RAIN
SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA AFTER 13Z, BECOMING MORE
WIDESPREAD AFTER 18-19Z. THERE IS A 10% CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE AFTERNOON, INCREASING TO A 15% CHANCE WITH THE COLD
FRONT. RAIN WILL LIKELY TRANSITION QUICKLY TO SNOW WITH THE COLD
FRONT, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR IFR-LIFR CONDITIONS AROUND 02-05Z (75%
CHANCE FOR IFR).
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SHOWERS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER
KCDC-KBCE WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE STATE DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS, BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD AFTER ROUGHLY 18Z IN MOST
AREAS. MOST VALLEY SITES WILL EXPERIENCE RAIN TO START, THE
EXCEPTIONS BEING KBCE AND KEVW. GUSTY SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS WILL CONTINUE, LIKELY PEAKING IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THESE
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL ABRUPTLY TRANSITION TO NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND A
STRONG COLD FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING, REACHING KENV AROUND
22-23Z, AND MANY WASATCH FRONT SITES BETWEEN 01-04Z. SITES ARE
LIKELY TO TRANSITION TO SNOW WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS
WITH THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE. THERE IS EVEN A 10-15% CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE (A 10% CHANCE IN SOME AREAS
DURING THE AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE FRONT).

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1127 UTC THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2025
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 524 AM MDT THU MAR 13 2025
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
AN INCOMING SYSTEM WILL BRING A VARYING DEGREE OF IMPACTS TO
TERMINALS THIS PERIOD. KJAC IS ALREADY SEEING OCCASIONAL RAIN
SHOWERS EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BECOME SNOW OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS, LIKELY PREVAILING MVFR TO OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING. AN IMPROVEMENT IS LIKELY THIS
AFTERNOON AS PRECIPITATION BECOMES A LITTLE LESS WIDESPREAD IN
COVERAGE, AND POSSIBLY EVEN TURNING BACK TO RAIN AT TIMES. A RETURN
TO MVFR TO IFR IS EXPECTED AFTER SUNSET. CURRENT TAF SHOWS ANOTHER
IMPROVEMENT AFTER 06Z FRIDAY AT KJAC AS MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION
SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA. THAT SAID, UNCERTAINTY IS HIGHER ON THIS
OCCURRING THAT EARLY AND MVFR/IFR IMPACTS MAY NEED EXTENDED FURTHER
INTO FRIDAY.
KBPI AND KPNA WILL HAVE OCCASIONAL IMPACTS TO MVFR/IFR THROUGH THE
DAY, THOUGH IFR CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO PREVAIL UNTIL AFTER
02Z FRIDAY.
THE MAIN IMPACT THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS AT KRKS WILL BE WIND,
WITH GUSTS OVER 30 KNOTS EXPECTED BY LATE MORNING. THERE WILL LIKELY
BE SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTHERN WYOMING THIS AFTERNOON BUT HAVE CHOSEN TO
KEEP THESE OUT OF THE KRKS TAF UNTIL AFTER 02Z. THEN, MVFR TO
OCCASIONAL IFR IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED AS SNOW BECOMES A LITTLE MORE
WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
WIND WILL BE THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.
THIS WILL BE MOST NOTED AT KCPR AS SOUTHWESTERLY GUSTS COME UP
BEFORE SUNRISE, NEARING 40 KNOTS THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON.
TERMINALS SHOULD PREVAIL VFR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, THOUGH THERE
MAY BE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS CENTRAL WYOMING BEFORE
SUNSET. CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW ON ACTUAL TERMINAL IMPACTS FROM THIS
ACTIVITY SO HAVE NOT INCLUDED IN TAFS FOR NOW.
CEILINGS WILL BEGIN TO LOWER AT KCOD FAIRLY ABRUPTLY AROUND 05Z AS A
COLD FRONT DROPS INTO NORTHERN WYOMING. THIS WILL SURGE SOUTH
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD, BRINGING MVFR TO IFR SNOW IMPACTS TO
KCOD AND KWRL AND VICINITY SHOWERS TO REMAINING TERMINALS.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL TODAY, THEN TURN SOUTH TONIGHT

WYOMING TAFS...SCATTERED TO BROKEN CLOUDS FROM 12000 TO
15000 FEET WILL OCCUR, WITH CEILINGS LOWERING TO 8000 FEET AT

NEBRASKA TAFS...SCATTERED TO BROKEN CLOUDS NEAR 15000 FEET WILL

VFR CONDITIONS WITH MID/HIGH CLOUDS EXPECTED AT TAF SITES
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING, THOUGH LOWER CIGS AND PRECIPITATION WILL
BE ADVANCING FROM THE WEST TOWARD THE END OF THE VALID PERIOD.
WINDS ARE JUST STARTING TO INCREASE AS DIURNAL MIXING BECOMES
ESTABLISHED AND EXPECT MIXING WILL BE VERY GOOD THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. BASED ON EXPECTED WINDS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER
AND ALL GUIDANCE INDICATING A DEEPLY MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER, WILL
INDICATE GUSTS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AT THE HIGHER END OF
GUIDANCE AT OR ABOVE 30KT FOR BOTH KLBF AND KVTN. WINDS WILL BE
SLOW TO DIMINISH INTO THIS EVENING BEFORE GOING LIGHT/VARIABLE
LATE TONIGHT, THOUGH WINDS ALOFT WILL BE INCREASING WITH SOME
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. SURFACE WINDS WILL
REMAIN LIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING BUT WILL INCREASE CONSIDERABLY
TOWARD THE END OF THE VALID PERIOD AND INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO GET SPECIFIC WITH TIMING FOR ONLY THE LAST
COUPLE OF HOURS OF THE TAF PERIOD AND KEEP WINDS ON THE LIGHT
SIDE THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AND ALLOW LATER TAF ISSUANCES SHOW A
MORE PRECISE TREND FOR WINDS.
