DENVER/BOULDER AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0028 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 627 PM MDT WED APR 1 2026
RECENT OBSERVATIONS SHOW A LINE OF SHOWERS EXTENDING OVER KDEN AND
KAPA AND MOVING EAST, AS WELL AS CEILINGS LOWERING TO AROUND
4000FT-6000FT UNDER THE RAIN SHOWERS. SOME ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
COULD MAKE THEIR WAY OFF THE FOOTHILLS AND EAST OVER THE AIRPORTS
EARLY THIS EVENING BUT WE EXPECT RAIN ACTIVITY TO TAPER OFF BY 04Z
OR SLIGHTLY EARLIER. WINDS REMAIN MAINLY FROM THE NORTH ACROSS THE
REGION WITH SOME SMALL VARIATIONS DUE TO WEAK OUTFLOWS.
MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A MODERATE (40%) CHANCE FOR FOG LATER
TONIGHT BETWEEN 06Z AND 10Z SO WE DECIDED TO INTRODUCE A TEMPO
GROUP FOR LOWER CEILINGS (500FT) AS WELL AS VISIBILITIES AROUND
3-5SM. OTHERWISE, CLOUDS WILL CLEAR BY SUNRISE AND WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY TURN TO SW-SSW. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED
TOMORROW, AND THERE IS POTENTIAL (70% CHANCE) FOR SOME HIGHER WIND
SPEEDS ALOFT TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE RESULTING IN BRIEF
PERIODS OF 25KT GUSTS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AT 21Z-01Z.

SALT LAKE CITY AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1806 UTC WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE DAY TODAY WITH PERSISTENT RAIN SHOWERS TAPERING OFF THROUGH
THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON, HOWEVER, THERE IS
AROUND A 30% CHANCE THAT RAIN SHOWERS MOVE OVER THE TERMINAL.
ADDITIONALLY, LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY, HOWEVER, RAIN SHOWERS MOVING TO THE NORTH OF
THE TERMINAL WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF WIND SHIFT TO THE
NORTH. OTHERWISE, CLOUD COVER DECREASES LATER THIS AFTERNOON BUT
WILL QUICKLY BUILD AGAIN OVERNIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
A MIX OF VFR AND MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREA TODAY
AS RAIN CONTINUES INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. COVERAGE OF SHOWERS WILL
BE MAINTAINED NEAR TERRAIN FEATURES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, THOUGH
OVERALL COVERAGE WILL DECREASE AFTER 19-20Z. BRIEF CLEARING OF SKIES
IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON, HOWEVER, LOWER LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL
INCREASE ONCE AGAIN DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. A COLD FRONT WILL
PASS THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY MORNING, BRINGING GUSTY NORTHERLY
WINDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING.

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2252 UTC WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 451 PM MDT WED APR 1 2026
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS.
WINDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS RKS REMAINS ON THE EDGE OF SOME
RAIN TO ITS EAST AND NORTHEAST. OTHERWISE, BEST CHANCES FOR A
RAIN/SNOW MIX AT JAC AFTER 03Z PUSHING TO BPI/PNA AFTER 09Z AS IT
ALL BECOMES SNOW. SNOW WILL REMAIN THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TAPERING
OFF TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS WINDS
INCREASE, PEAKING AT RKS UP TO 35KTS.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS.
VFR CONDITIONS INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH SOME VCSH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW FOR ANY PRECIPITATION
IMPACTS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION IS OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY
MORNING. OTHERWISE, WIND INCREASES FOR ALL LOCATIONS THURSDAY
MORNING, HIGHEST AT CPR UP TO 35KTS AND OTHER LOCATIONS UP TO 25-
30KTS LASTING THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD THURSDAY EVENING.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZLC AND ZDV FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 2357 UTC WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 557 PM MDT WED APR 1 2026
A PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA THIS
EVENING, BRINGING MOSTLY RAINFALL FOR ALL TERMINALS AND SNOW ABOVE
8000 FEET. RAINFALL SHOULD TAPER OFF AFTER 06Z, WITH A LOW POTENTIAL
FOR FOG THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY DEPENDING ON CLOUD COVER. STRONG GUSTY
WINDS EXPECTED FOR KRWL AND KLAR AFTER 12Z.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: ALREADY SEEING SOME PERIODS OF IFR
CONDITIONS WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEAST WYOMING. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE FOR ALL OF WESTERN
NEBRASKA AND KCYS FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT WITH LOWERING CIGS AND VIS
DUE TO SHOWERS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME FOG. IFR OR NEAR IFR CIGS
WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS FOR KRWL AND KLAR BEFORE
CONDITIONS BEGIN TO IMPROVE BETWEEN 05Z AND 08Z.
MAIN CONCERN FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY THURSDAY WILL BE
THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG, WHICH MAY LINGER THROUGH AND PAST SUNRISE
ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEBRASKA. CURRENTLY, PROBABILITIES ARE
RATHER LOW, BETWEEN 10 TO 30 PERCENT, AND GREATLY DEPEND ON NEAR-
SURFACE MOISTURE AND CLEARING MID TO UPPER CLOUD COVER. MOST
CONFIDENT WITH KAIA AND KSNY AT THIS TIME. CAN'T RULE OUT SOME DENSE
FOG AT THESE LOCATIONS.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 625 PM CDT WED APR 1 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED DESPITE SOME SHOWERS AROUND THE TAF SITES.
THE SHOWERS ARE HIGH BASED WITH CIGS CLOSER TO 10KFT AGL. THAT
BEING SAID, WILL NOT RULE OUT A VERY BRIEF REDUCTION IN VIS THAT
MIGHT GO MVFR DUE TO BRIEF MODERATE RAIN. LESS THAN 5 PERCENT
CHANCE THAT HAPPENS AND THEREFORE NOT NOTED IN THE TAFS. OVERALL,
LLWS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS AS WE HAVE
A 45-50KT WEST TO NORTHWEST JET AROUND 2KFT AGL. WINDS WILL RELAX
A BIT IN THE 12-18Z TIME PERIOD, OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST, AND
PICK BACK UP OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST 15-20KTS GUSTING UP TO 30KTS
AFTER 18Z.
