RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 945 PM MDT SUN APR 5 2026
DRY, VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE
TAF PERIOD. 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.
EXPECT LIGHT WINDS, 10KT OR LESS, AND SCT-BKN FL200 SKIES
THROUGH AT LEAST 18Z. AFTER 18Z, WINDS INCREASE TO AROUND 15KT
AT KRKS, KPNA, AND KBPI. KRKS IS THE MOST LIKELY TERMINAL TO SEE
GUSTS AROUND 25KT MONDAY AFTERNOON. EAST WINDS AROUND 15KT WILL
DEVELOP AT KCPR BY 00Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ICING AND TURBULENCE FORECASTS.

ISSUED AT 0853 UTC MONDAY, APRIL 6, 2026
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1145 PM MDT SUN APR 5 2026
MIDLEVEL CLOUDINESS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THIS MORNING AS A
SHALLOW COOL FRONT MOVES SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS, SHIFTING
WINDS INTO THE EAST.
HAZARDS/WEATHER TRENDS: VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE
REGION FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS WILL SHIFT
INTO THE EAST OR SOUTHEAST FOR THE HIGH PLAINS TERMINALS, AND REMAIN
OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST FOR KRWL AND KLAR. GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS ARE
POSSIBLE. PRECIPITATION LOOKS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME (LESS THAN 10%
CHANCE).
