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 0359 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2026
AVIATION...KSLC
PERIODIC RAIN SHOWERS CAN BE EXPECTED AT THE SLC
TERMINAL THROUGH THE NIGHT. CANNOT RULE OUT BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS IN
THE SHOWERS, OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL, WITH CIGS BELOW
7KFT LIKELY WITH THE PASSING SHOWERS. THE SHOWERS MAY ALSO BRING
BRIEFLY GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS, OTHERWISE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
PREVAIL INTO THURSDAY MORNING. A STRONG COLD FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED
TO CROSS THE TERMINAL BETWEEN 15-17Z, WHICH WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS,
POTENTIALLY 35-40KT ALONG WITH A PERIOD OF MVFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN
OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE BY 20-21Z, WITH A FEW
LINGERING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
PERIODIC SHOWERS CAN BE
EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING TERMINALS
THROUGH THE NIGHT. BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS AND MOUNTAIN TOP
OBSCURATIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER SHOWERS, OTHERWISE VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. THE SHOWERS MAY ALSO BRING BRIEFLY GUSTY
AND ERRATIC WINDS, OTHERWISE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL INTO EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING. SOUTHERN UTAH TERMINALS WILL SEE VFR CONDITIONS
UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SOUTHERLY WINDS
THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS NORTHERN
UTAH THURSDAY MORNING, THEN WORK ITS WAY INTO SOUTHERN UTAH BY LATE
AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. STRONG GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS CAN BE
EXPECTED ALONG AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS
WITH RAIN OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX (IFR IN SNOW AT KEVW) CAN BE EXPECTED
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT, ESPECIALLY NORTHERN TERMINALS, WITH
CONDITIONS GRADUALLY IMPROVING AROUND 4-5 HOURS FOLLOWING THE
PASSAGE OF THE FRONT.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 957 PM MDT WED APR 1 2026
WEST OF THE DIVIDE...KBPI/KJAC/KPNA/KRKS TERMINALS
WEATHER SYSTEM CONTINUES TO BRING BANDS OF PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD, WITH PRECIPITATION TYPE MAINLY BEING SNOW.
AT KRKS PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL MAINLY BE A RAIN/SNOW MIX. A HEAVIER
SNOW BAND IS LIKELY (70%) TO PASS THROUGH THE JACKSON VALLEY FROM 12-
14Z, WHICH WILL DROP VIS AND CIGS TO LIFR TEMPORARILY. CONDITIONS
WILL DROP TO IFR AT KBPI AND KPNA WITH A HEAVIER SNOW BAND FROM 09-
13Z. OVERALL CONDITIONS WILL BE MVFR TO IFR THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
WIND WILL BE LESS THAN 10 KNOTS TONIGHT INCREASING BY 17Z/THURS AT
ALL TERMINALS. WIND WILL AVERAGE 15-20 KNOTS, WITH GUSTS OF 25-35
KNOTS THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WIND WILL DECREASE BY 02Z, BUT
REMAIN QUITE GUSTY AT KRKS THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION WILL BE FREQUENT THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
EAST OF THE DIVIDE...KCOD/KCPR/KLND/KRIW/KWRL TERMINALS
WEATHER SYSTEM CONTINUE TO BRING LOW CHANCES FOR RAIN TO THE AREA
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. MOST TERMINALS ONLY HAVE SHORT PERIODS OF A
PROB30 FOR RAIN AND MVFR CONDITIONS, MAINLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
ISOLATED LIGHTNING IS POSSIBLE (20% CHANCE), WITH THE BEST CHANCE
(30%) BEING AT KCPR FROM 21-23Z. RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW AT KCOD
THURSDAY EVENING, WITH MVFR CONDITIONS LIKELY (60%) FROM 02Z ONWARD.
WIND WILL REMAIN BELOW 10 KNOTS TONIGHT, BUT WILL BEGIN INCREASING
THURSDAY MORNING. BY 12Z WIND WILL BE 15-20 KNOTS AT KCPR. BY THE
AFTERNOON WIND WILL AVERAGE 15-25 KNOTS, WITH GUSTS OF 25-35 KNOTS.
WIND WILL REMAIN CLOSE TO THE SAME SPEED THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING,
ALTHOUGH A SHIFT FROM WESTERLY TO NORTHWESTERLY WILL OCCUR AT KCOD,
KWRL, AND KRIW. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION MAY OCCUR AT TIMES.
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 0453 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1052 PM MDT WED APR 1 2026
A PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH EAST OF THE REGION
TONIGHT, WITH RAINFALL AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW BRIEFLY ENDING AFTER
MIDNIGHT. CAN'T RULE OUT SOME TERMINALS IN/OUT OF FOG FOR THE REST
OF THE NIGHT THROUGH 15Z THURSDAY DEPENDING ON CLOUD COVER. STRONG
GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED FOR KRWL AND KLAR AFTER 12Z AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: CONDITIONS WILL TEMPORARILY IMPROVE AT THE
SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED BY 08Z TO 11Z. MAIN CONCERN FOR THE REST OF
TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY THURSDAY WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG AND
LIFR CIGS. TWEAKED THE TIMING AT MOST LOCATIONS SINCE THE EXTENT OF
PRECIPITATION IS NOT QUITE AS WIDESPREAD AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.
ADDED VCFG FOR TERMINALS WHICH HAVE A 10% TO 25% CHANCE OF LOCALLY
DENSE FOG. KAIA HAS THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY, SO LEFT THE PREVAILING
LIFR CONDITIONS GOING BETWEEN 09Z AND 15Z. FOG AND LOW CIGS WILL
LIFT BY 17Z FOR ALL TERMINALS.

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.
