ISSUED AT 1109 UTC MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 507 AM MDT MON MAR 30 2026
THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN ON THE FRONT END OF THE PERIOD WILL BE
WIND AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WIND WILL RAMP UP BY 18Z AT
MOST TERMINALS, WITH WIDESPREAD WEST TO SOUTHWEST GUSTS OF 30 TO 40
KNOTS THROUGH SUNSET. THE FRONT WILL DROP INTO NORTHERN WYOMING BY
AROUND 01Z, PUSHING SOUTH THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING A
NORTHERLY WIND SHIFT TO TERMINALS EAST OF THE DIVIDE, AS WELL AS
LOWER CEILINGS AND INCREASING SNOW POTENTIAL AT KCOD LATE IN THE
PERIOD. KJAC WILL ALSO SEE INCREASING PRECIPITATION CHANCES WITH THE
BEST CHANCE FOR TERMINAL IMPACTS COMING BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z IN THIS
PERIOD; PREVAILING MVFR/IFR IMPACTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AFTER 12Z
TUESDAY AT KJAC.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS ARE ONGOING THIS MORNING, BUT WILL
BEGIN TO INCREASE OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 4 HOURS. GUSTS OVER 30 KTS
ARE EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS, WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS POSSIBLE
THIS EVENING. A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS MAY CONTAIN DRY LIGHTNING,
THOUGH WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE TONIGHT FROM ABOUT 04Z AT KCDR TO 09Z AT
KSNY AND KCYS. GUSTY, NORTHERLY WINDS EXPECTED BEHIND THIS
FRONT.
