A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION,
PRODUCING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS NEAR AND NORTH OF THE
I-70 CORRIDOR. THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN
GUSTY WINDS, OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING AND BRIEF, HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
THE UPPER LEVEL FORCING WILL GRADUALLY WANE THIS EVENING, WITH
RAIN DIMINISHING FROM WEST TO EAST. EXPECT MOSTLY VFR
CONDITIONS WITH DRIER AIR SPREADING SOUTHEAST BEHIND THE FRONT
TONIGHT.

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

JUST ENOUGH LINGERING MOISTURE/INFLUENCE TO RESULT IN MODEST CHANCES

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 430 PM MDT TUE SEP 16 2025
A WEATHER SYSTEM OVER WYOMING WILL BRING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THIS TAF PERIOD AT KRKS AND MOST
EAST OF THE DIVIDE TERMINALS. CHANCES IN DIRECT IMPACTS AT KPNA,
KBPI, KJAC, KCOD FROM SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS ARE LESS THAN
20%. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES (30%) AT KRKS AND KWRL ARE EXPECTED TO
DIMINISH AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING (02Z). THERE REMAINS A 30%
CHANCE IN A WAVE OF SHOWERS AT KRIW AND KLND BETWEEN 01Z AND 09Z,
RESPECTIVELY. AFTER 02Z AT KCPR, CONFIDENCE INCREASES IN PREVAILING
RAIN AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND MOST OF
WEDNESDAY. LOWER CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY RAIN SHOWERS AT
KCPR AS WELL, WITH A 30% CHANCE OF MVFR CEILINGS. ISOLATED RAIN
SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE AFTER 19Z WEDNESDAY AT KRIW, KLND, AND KWRL AND
THESE CHANCES ARE REFLECTED AS A PROB30 GROUP AT THIS TIME.
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. 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.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS WESTERN
AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS EVENING, WITH RAIN LASTING OVERNIGHT
INTO TOMORROW. WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF RAIN, CEILINGS DROP TO MVFR AND
IFR OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE REGION. LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT AND RECENT
RAINFALL MAY ALLOW FOR PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP WHILE RAIN SHOWERS
LESSEN, CAUSING IMPACTS TO VISIBILITY ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA. WINDS REMAIN LIGHT IN THE MORNING, WITH LOW
CEILINGS AND SHOWERS REMAINING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF
THE AFTERNOON. SOME POCKETS OF VFR ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN IN THE
AFTERNOON, THOUGH RAIN SHOWERS MAY STILL PERSIST.

MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS. BUT WE WILL HAVE SOME THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TOWARD THE
TAIL END OF THE TAF PERIOD THAT COULD BE MVFR/IFR DUE TO
THUNDERSTORMS, IN WHICH PROB30S HAVE BEEN NOTED. WINDS GENERALLY
WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FOR THE MOST PART AND BE IN
THE 10 TO 15KT RANGE, CURRENTLY GUSTING TO 25KTS THROUGH ABOUT
3-4Z, THEN CALMING DOWN THEREAFTER. WHILE THERE ARE SOME STORMS
LINGERING AROUND THE PANHANDLES THIS EVENING, TIMING AND ACTUAL
IMPACT TO A TAF SITE IS IN QUESTION, AND WE'LL DEAL WITH THEM VIA
AMENDMENTS AS CONFIDENCE INCREASES.

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.
