FOG HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE DENVER AREA,
INCLUDING DEN AND BJC. SOUTHERLY WINDS JUST SOUTH OF DEN WILL
SPREAD NORTHWARD BRINGING DRIER AIR THAT WILL CAUSE THE FOG TO
DISSIPATE 1130-1230Z. AT BJC, FOG MAY LINGER A LITTLE LONGER,
THROUGH ABOUT 13Z. AFTER THIS, VFR WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TONIGHT
AT THE DENVER AIRPORTS. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE

WEST-SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS. SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL THEN DECREASE AFTER 00-01Z, BUT A COLD FRONT WILL BRING
A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH/NORTHWEST AND INCREASE WINDS BETWEEN

RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1754 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2026
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1150 AM MDT THU APR 2 2026
ACTIVE AVIATION WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS, WITH
WIDESPREAD MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO PERIODS OF RAIN AND
SNOW, ALONG WITH BREEZY WINDS GUSTING 20 TO 30 KT AT MANY
LOCATIONS. PLAN ON WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS. DURING THE
DAYTIME HOURS TODAY, HIT-OR-MISS SHOWERS ARE MOVING FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE
DECREASING AS THE DAY PROGRESSES, SO EXPECT RAIN SHOWERS TO
BECOME SNOW SHOWERS NEAR SUNSET. THE CORE OF THE INCOMING
WEATHER SYSTEM WILL THEN BRING A FEW HOURS OF MORE PERSISTENT
SNOW TO WESTERN WYOMING VALLEYS THIS EVENING, BETWEEN 03/0100Z
AND 03/0500Z, INCLUDING AT SITES SUCH AS KJAC. AFTER 03/0500Z,
SNOW (MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES) WILL DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN
WYOMING BASINS, INCLUDING FOR LOCATIONS LIKE KGEY, KBYG, AND
KWRL. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM WESTERLY TO NORTHERLY FOR LOCATIONS
EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AS SNOW MOVES IN. THIS SNOW WILL
CONTINUE WELL INTO THE MORNING HOURS, TAPERING OFF AROUND
03/1800Z. LIGHT PRECIPITATION REMAINS POSSIBLE EVEN INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS ON FRIDAY.
CHEYENNE AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1703 UTC THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1058 AM MDT THU APR 2 2026
A COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING AVIATION FORECAST TODAY FOR ALL
TERMINALS AS SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE REGION. SCATTERED RAIN AND
POSSIBLY SNOW SHOWERS AT RWL AND LAR WILL MOVE THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON WITH POTENTIAL FOR VIS DROPPING INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY
AND BRIEF IFR CEILINGS IN THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION. THIS
SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING,
AFFECTING CYS WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS, MVFR VIS AND IFR CEILINGS
POSSIBLY IN THE 22-03Z TIMEFRAME. FARTHER EAST, THE NEXT 6 HOURS
WILL END UP MOSTLY DRY IN THE NEBRASKA TERMINALS, HOWEVER AROUND
0Z ONWARD, MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE FOR BOTH CEILING
AND VISIBILITY. A PERIOD OF MODERATE STEADY RAINFALL IS LIKELY
AT BFF, SNY, CDR AND POSSIBLY AIA FROM AROUND 4Z THROUGH 8Z
OVERNIGHT. VERY LOW CONFIDENCE EXISTS IN SPECIFIC TIMING FOR
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY AFTERNOON THUNDER, WITH VERY HIGH
DISPERSION AMONGST SHORT-TERM MODELS SHOWING A VERY SCATTERED
NATURE TO CONVECTIVE SHOWERS.
