RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 0141 UTC MONDAY, APRIL 6, 2026
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 455 PM MDT SUN APR 5 2026
DRY, VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO PREVAIL THIS TAF
PERIOD AS HIGH CLOUDS MOVE INTO THE REGION. EXPECT LIGHT WINDS,
10KTS OR LESS, THROUGH AT LEAST 18Z MONDAY. AFTER 18Z MONDAY,
WINDS INCREASE TO AROUND 15KTS AT KRKS, KCPR, KPNA, AND KBPI.
KRKS IS THE MOST LIKELY TERMINAL TO SEE GUSTS AROUND 25KTS
MONDAY AFTERNOON. AT KCPR, THERE IS A 10% CHANCE THAT LOW CLOUDS
MOVE INTO THE TERMINAL BEGINNING AROUND 12Z MONDAY. HOWEVER,
CONFIDENCE IS FAR TOO LOW AT THIS TIME TO MENTION IN KCPR TAF.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.
