SKIES REMAIN CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR WITH SOME VERY LIMITED CUMULUS
DEVELOPMENT WED AFTERNOON. WINDS REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT AND ARE
EXPECTED TO FOLLOW A TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTION PATTERN (BECOMING
SOUTH BETWEEN 02-04Z WED, NW BETWEEN 16-18Z WED).
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
SLOW MOVING SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO DEPART THE REGION TO THE EAST. NE UT AND SW WY WILL SEE
JUST ENOUGH LINGERING MOISTURE/INFLUENCE TO RESULT IN MODEST CHANCES

CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT MOST AREA TERMINALS WITH CLEAR TO MOSTLY

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1134 AM MDT TUE SEP 16 2025
A WEATHER SYSTEM OVER WYOMING WILL BRING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO MOST TERMINALS THIS TAF PERIOD.
THE EXCEPTIONS ARE KPNA AND KBPI WHERE SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
ARE LESS THAN 20%. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES (AROUND 30%)
INCREASE AFTER 19Z AT ALL OTHER TERMINALS. CONFIDENCE IN EXACT
LOCATION AND TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH 00Z/02Z REMAINS
UNCERTAIN SO PROB30 GROUPS REFLECT THE CONVECTION CHANCES DURING
THIS TIMEFRAME. THERE IS A 30% CHANCE IN A WAVE OF SHOWERS AT
KRIW AND KLND BETWEEN 02Z AND 09Z. AFTER 02Z AT KCPR, CONFIDENCE
INCREASES IN PREVAILING RAIN AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO WEDNESDAY. LOWER CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED
TO ACCOMPANY RAIN SHOWERS AT KCPR AS WELL, WITH A 30% CHANCE OF
MVFR CEILINGS.
AT ALL TERMINALS (EXCLUDING KCPR), CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY
VFR WITH ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS; HOWEVER, A BRIEF PERIOD OF
REDUCED FLIGHT CONDITIONS CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN A HEAVY SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM. AREAS THAT SEE SIGNIFICANT RAIN MAY SEE FOG AFTER 10Z
WEDNESDAY BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN TAF AT THIS TIME.
OTHERWISE, WINDS GENERALLY REMAIN AROUND OR LESS THAN 10KTS THIS TAF
PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2048 UTC TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1116 AM MDT TUE SEP 16 2025
WE HAVE A COMPLEX AVIATION FORECAST WITH MULTIPLE HAZARDS OVER
THE CURRENT TAF PERIOD AS A STRONG BUT VERY SLOW MOVING STORM
SYSTEM INCHES ITS WAY OVER OUR AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE FIRST
HAZARD WILL BE THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING
THROUGH THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE LATE THIS MORNING. EXPECT A FEW
MORE HOURS WITH NEARBY LIGHTNING AT NE PANHANDLE TERMINALS. VIS
DROPS AND GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY AT KAIA AND KSNY. KCDR IS
BEHIND THE MAIN LINE, BUT ANOTHER ROUND IS POSSIBLE. THE FIRST
CLUSTER OF STORMS SHOULD DEPART BY AROUND 21Z.
THEN, ATTENTION SHIFTS BACK TO THE WEST WHERE ANOTHER CLUSTER OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. THIS HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BRING THUNDERSTORM IMPACTS TO ALL TERMINALS BETWEEN
20Z AND 04Z OR SO. CONFIDENCE IN EXACT TIMING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL
TERMINAL IS FAIRLY LOW. THERE IS ALSO A POTENTIAL THAT THIS
SECOND ROUND FAILS TO MATERIALIZE DUE TO SOME STABILITY AND DRY
AIR PRESENT.
LASTLY, THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL SHIFT TO OUR
EAST OVERNIGHT, ALLOWING MOISTURE TO WRAP AROUND INTO THE AREA
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION TO SHOWER ACTIVITY
CONTINUING ACROSS THE AREA, LOW CIGS ARE POSSIBLE AT KLAR AND
ALL HIGH PLAINS TERMINALS. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IS AGAIN QUITE
LOW DUE TO MAJOR DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN MODEL SYSTEMS.

THIS AFTERNOON, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN FROM THE
SOUTH, LIKELY PRODUCING GUSTS AROUND 30 KTS AT KGLD AND 20-25
KTS AT KMCK. STARTING AROUND 21Z, STORMS COULD BEGIN RAPIDLY
FIRING ACROSS THE AREA. MULTIPLE WAVES OF STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. WE ARE
EXPECTING GUSTY, ERRATIC WINDS FROM THE STORMS AND VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL. KGLD LOOKS TO BE CLEAR OF THE PRECIPITATION BY 12Z
WHILE KMCK COULD SEE RAIN CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING TOMORROW.
ON THE TAIL END OF THE RAIN TONIGHT, WE ARE EXPECTED STRATUS TO
FORM. CLOUD BASES WILL BE AROUND 200-800 FEET AGL, BUT COVERAGE
IS STILL A BIT UNCERTAIN. KMCK COULD ALSO SEE FOG FORM AS THE
SHOWERS LEAVE.

A WEATHER SYSTEM IS MOVING INTO THE PANHANDLES TODAY BRINGING
RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE PANHANDLES THAT MAY IMPACT
ALL THE TERMINALS. AMBIENT CONDITIONS OUTSIDE ANY RAIN SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM WILL GENERALLY BE VFR. AMBIENT WINDS, OUTSIDE OF ANY
OUTFLOW CAUSED BY THUNDERSTORMS, WILL BE GENERALLY SOUTHERLY AND
GUSTY DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS. DURING THE PASSAGE OF A RAIN
SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED TO DEGRADE TO AT
LEAST MVFR. FOR A STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS HEAVY RAINFALL WILL MOST
LIKELY DROP CONDITIONS TO IFR OR EVEN WORSE. STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT OVER WITH LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT. THE CHANCES FOR THE RAIN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING ON STATION ARE LOW THROUGH
THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND ARE NOT REFLECTED WITHIN THE TAFS. THERE
IS INCREASING CHANCES FOR THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS IN THE
NORTHERN PANHANDLES AND A LESSER CHANCE IN THE SOUTHERN
PANHANDLES. THUS KDHT AND KGUY WILL REFLECT THIS ROUND OF RAIN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BUT NOT KAMA. THEN FOR WEDNESDAY THERE
IS A HIGH CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IMPACTING ALL
TERMINALS INTERMITTENTLY BUT THIS IS JUST OUTSIDE THE CURRENT TAF
TIME AND IS NOT REFLECTED. THE EXTENT AND DURATION OF THE RAIN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAKE IT INADVISABLE TO FLY ACROSS THE
PANHANDLES FOR ANY NOT TRAINED TO HANDLE SUCH CONDITIONS.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 139 PM MDT TUE SEP 16 2025
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGHER TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH A GENERAL
DRIFT TO THE EAST. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WILL FAVOR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS. PROB30S HAVE BEEN
INCLUDED FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TAF SITES. THE RISK FOR TAF SITES
LIKE KSAF, KABQ, AND KAEG WILL BE MORE IN THE WAY OF GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS RATHER THAN RAINFALL. A FEW STORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN NM COULD BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE AND PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OF UP TO 50 KTS. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL SLOWLY
TAPER OFF AFTER SUNSET WITH LINGERING MIDLEVEL CLOUDS FAVORING
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS OVERNIGHT.
