AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1033 PM MDT MON MAR 30 2026
THE COLD FRONT IS PUSHING SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTHERN WY
CURRENTLY, WITH LOWER CLOUDS AND LIGHT PRECIP ALREADY SPREADING
INTO KCOD. LOW CLOUDS WILL REACH KWRL AND KCPR OVERNIGHT,
CONTINUING INTO THE DAY TUESDAY. CIGS AT KJAC WILL FILL IN AND
REMAIN LOW VFR/MVFR THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO THE DAY AS WELL.
PRECIP CHANCES HAVE INCREASED WITH NEWER MODEL RUNS, SO HAVE
UPDATED MOST PROB30 GROUPINGS TO PREDOMINANT PRECIP INTO THE DAY
MONDAY. MODELS HAVE BEEN DIFFERING ON CIGS AT KLND/KRIW, BUT
CHANCES FOR LOWER CIGS LOOK BETTER, SO HAVE BROUGHT DOWN CIGS,
AND ADDED INCREASED PRECIP FORECAST FOR THOSE SITES.
SOME BRIEF IMPROVEMENTS OF CIGS MAY DEVELOP LATE MONDAY
AFTERNOON, BUT ANY IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE BRIEF, AS A RETURN OF
MVFR OR LOWER CIGS AT ALL SITES EXPECTED OVERNIGHT MONDAY
NIGHT.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0703 UTC TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1103 PM MDT MON MAR 30 2026
A COLD FRONT WILL DIVE SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY A
WEAK WARM FRONT PUSHING THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. BOTH OF THESE
WILL BRING INCREASED CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION AND LOWER CIGS.
CONFIDENCE IS LOWER WITH THE SYSTEM INITIALLY, SO KEPT PROB30 GROUPS
TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON. BY 00Z WEDNESDAY,
CONFIDENCE INCREASES IN THE TIMING AND COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION AND
AS A RESULT, EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS TO IMPACT ALL TERMINALS AT
VARYING TIMES SOMETIME AROUND 00Z WEDNESDAY AND AFTER WITH CIGS LESS
THAN 5K FEET AND VIS AROUND 4SM IN -RA. IN ADDITION, WITH THESE TWO
FRONTS, EXPECT WIND SHIFT FROM THE NORTH TO SOUTH BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS 25 TO 35 KNOTS.

TURN TO OUT OF THE NORTH, BUT CONFIDENCE WHEN THAT OCCURS IS A BIT
LOWER RIGHT NOW DUE TO VARIANCE IN THE COLD FRONTAL TIMING. AHEAD
