AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1151 AM MDT MON MAR 9 2026
VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS HAVE
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE ACROSS THE DENVER TAF SITES LATE THIS
MORNING. THE LATEST KFTG VAD PROFILER SHOWS WESTERLY WINDS ARE
JUST OFF THE DECK, AND WITH FURTHER MIXING EXPECTED THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON, THESE WESTERLY WINDS WILL LIKELY MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE
SURFACE. THE LATEST ACARS SOUNDING SHOWS A SLIGHT INVERSION AROUND
750 MB (3,500 - 4,000' AGL) WITH 20KT WINDS JUST ABOVE IT. WITH
JUST A FEW MORE DEGREES OF SURFACE HEATING WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
MIX THAT OUT, BRINGING THE STRONGER GUSTS DOWN. EXPECT GUSTS
BETWEEN 15-25 KTS ONCE THIS OCCURS, STARTING BY 20-21Z, AND
SETTLING DOWN AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING.
DRAINAGE WINDS ARE LIKELY TO SET IN ACROSS THE TAF SITES BETWEEN
3-6Z TONIGHT. EARLY TOMORROW MORNING (11-12Z) WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO MAKE A MORE SOUTHERLY TURN BEFORE TURNING BACK WSW BY 16Z WITH
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WEST WINDS TO CHANNEL THEIR WAY INTO THE TAF
SITES SHORTLY THEREAFTER (17-18Z).

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 526 PM MDT MON MAR 9 2026
WIND CONTINUES TO BE THE STORY OF THE DAY LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING. STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS OVER 30 KTS WILL
IMPACT MOST OF THE TAF SITES THROUGH SUNSET BEFORE DECREASING.
NORTHERN WYOMING IS SEEING A COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVING SOUTH OUT
OF MONTANA, EARLIER THAN EXPECTED, WHICH IS SHIFTING THE WINDS
TO THE NORTH AT KCOD. A FEW OF THE TAF SITES WILL SEE SOME
PERIODS OF BREEZY WINDS OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE DIVIDE
AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO CENTRAL WY. THE COLD FRONT WILL
BRING SOME MID-LEVEL CLOUDS OVERNIGHT INTO NORTHERN WYOMING.
SOME OF THESE CLOUDS WILL LOWER TO AROUND 3000 FEET OVERNIGHT
AROUND KBYG, AND MAY MOVE INTO THE KCPR VICINITY AFTER 09Z.
CLOUD COVER WILL ALSO MOVE ACROSS KCOD/KWRL OVERNIGHT, BUT CIGS
ARE EXPECTED TO STAY WELL ABOVE MVFR LIMITS.
WEST-SOUTHWEST WINDS TUESDAY MORNING WILL CAUSE THE BOUNDARY TO
RETREAT BACK NORTHWARD INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS.
PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN WY UNTIL EARLY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH A SECONDARY PUSH/COLD FRONT, WHICH WILL
BRING MVFR CONDITIONS TO NORTHERN WY AND KJAC AROUND 18Z
TUESDAY. AHEAD OF THE SECONDARY PUSH TO THE SOUTH, STRONG WEST
WINDS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN WY AS THE BOUNDARY PUSHES FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE
BOUNDARY DOES TONIGHT. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL THUS IMPACT
MOST SITES (EXCEPT KRKS) ON TUESDAY BEFORE MOVING SOUTHEAST.
BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT A FEW SITES, ESPECIALLY
KJAC AND KCOD, AND THE MOUNTAINS ACROSS THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF WY
WILL BE MOSTLY OBSCURED FROM 10/06Z TO 11/06Z. AS THE COLD FRONT
LATE TUESDAY MOVES FURTHER SOUTHWARD, GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN WY WITH SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS IMPACTING KJAC TO KRIW/KLND TO KCPR TUESDAY
EVENING.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZLC AND ZDV FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
