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.

MAIN CONCERN DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE THE WINDS. A
POWERFUL PACIFIC STORM WILL BLAST ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. A
STRONG BOUNDARY WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION ROUGHLY PRIOR TO
SUNRISE AND WE WILL SEE A STRONG WINDSHIFT WITH IT. NOT MUCH
PRECIP, IF ANY, IS EXPECTED AT KCOS OR KPUB, BUT KALS COULD SEE
SOME SNOW SQUALLS DURING THE EARLY AM HOURS. OVERALL, GUSTY
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING
HOURS, AND THEN SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND WILL BE STRONGER
TOMORROW AFTER SUNRISE.

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).

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1125 AM MDT THU MAR 13 2025
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
SWATH OF MOISTURE CONTINUES TO PUMP INTO THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS,
WITH VARYING SNOWFALL CONTINUING AT KJAC. THE SNOW THERE WILL
BE PREDOMINANT, BUT NOT CONTINUOUS, SO HAVE ADDED A TEMPO FOR
BRIEF IMPROVED CONDITIONS. MOISTURE IS JUST STARTING TO APPROACH
KPNA/KBPI, BUT UPWIND MOISTURE STILL A FEW HOURS OUT, SO BACKED
UP TIMING OF IMPACTFUL SNOW FOR THOSE SITES UNTIL LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. SNOW CONTINUES THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT, BEFORE
EASING UP AT KBPI/KPNA TOMORROW MORNING, AND AT KJAC TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. KRKS ONLY EXPECTED TO GET A GLANCING HIT FROM THIS
SYSTEM, SO PROBABILITY OF SNOW REMAINS LOWER THERE. WINDS
EXPECTED TO BE GUSTY AT KRKS TODAY AND AGAIN TOMORROW, WITH
GUSTS APPROACHING 50KTS ON FRIDAY.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
SNOW WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AT EASTERN SITES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT,
WITH KCPR BEING THE FINAL SITE AROUND 12Z FRIDAY. SNOW WILL BE
CONFINED NEAR THE FRONT, WITH LOW VIS AND WINDS MOST OF THE
MORNING. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SWITCH WINDS FROM THE
NORTHWEST, WITH GUSTS ABOVE 30KTS EXPECTED FOR KCOD/KWRL/KCPR
DURING PASSAGE AND CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1142 AM MDT THU MAR 13 2025
FOR THE MOST PART, QUIET CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS
THIS AFTERNOON. SOME GUSTY WINDS OVER 30 KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT
KRWL AND KLAR THIS AFTERNOON, BUT SHOULD EASE THIS EVENING.
PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST WYOMING THIS
EVENING AS THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM ENTERS THE AREA. PRECIPITATION
WILL MOSTLY LIKELY START AS RAIN GIVEN THE WARM SURFACE
TEMPERATURES. THIS COULD CAUSE MINOR REDUCTIONS TO VISIBILITY,
SO CANNOT RULE OUT MVFR CONDITIONS. LOW CIGS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE
INTO WYOMING EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1155 AM CDT THU MAR 13 2025
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.

SUNRISE. THESE STRONG WINDS MAY CAUSE BLOWING DUST WHICH WOULD
LEAD TO LOWER VISIBILITY AT THE TERMINALS. SOME HIGH CLOUDS MAY
MOVE IN OVER THE AREA LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD.

MOUNTAINS, EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN, AND THE
NORTHEAST PLAINS, INCLUDING KLVS. WIND SPEEDS WILL PROBABLY
WEAKEN TEMPORARILY FOR MANY, OUTSIDE OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH TERRAIN
EARLY THIS EVENING, BEFORE STRENGTHENING FURTHER LATE EVENING
INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS A STRONG PACIFIC COLD FRONT SURGES THROUGH
THE STATE. SOME PATCHY BLOWING DUST IS EXPECTED TODAY IN DUST-
PRONE LOCATIONS. A SNOW SQUALL ALONG THE PACIFIC FRONT WILL
LIKELY PRODUCE A FEW HOURS OF IFR CONDITIONS AND MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NM BEFORE CONDITIONS
GRADUALLY IMPROVE BACK TO VFR COME MID FRIDAY MORNING. ELSEWHERE,
VERY STRONG WEST AND NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF 45-65 KTS ARE
EXPECTED ALONG AND EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE A MAJORITY OF
FRIDAY ONCE THE PACIFIC FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE TONIGHT/EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. EASTERN AREAS WILL BE FAVORED FOR WIDESPREAD
BLOWING DUST. THIS WILL RESULT IN MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO
POOR VISIBILITY AND LOW CEILINGS.
