AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1104 AM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
LOW CLOUDS AROUND KCPR, KLND, AND KJAC SHOULD IMPROVE THROUGH THE
FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE PERIOD, LASTING LONGEST OVER KCPR. NO
PRECIPITATION EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF SATURDAY.
THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM MOVES IN STARTING TONIGHT, WITH INCREASING
CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL
HELP BRING LOW CLOUDS TO PLACES LIKE KCPR AND KRKS BEFORE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES START, WITH CLOUDS LIKELY HOVERING AROUND LOW-
END VFR TO MVFR CEILINGS AT KJAC. PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE
FROM THE SOUTHWEST STARTING ABOUT 12Z, WITH AT LEAST A 15 PERCENT
CHANCE FOR ALL SITES BY THE END OF THE PERIOD, THOUGH BETTER CHANCES
EAST OF THE DIVIDE OCCUR AFTER THE PERIOD, FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
CHANCES WILL LIKELY START AS SNOW OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX, WITH RAIN
BECOMING MORE LIKELY INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS THE SUN INCREASES.
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 1131 UTC SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2026
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 510 AM MDT SAT APR 25 2026
CEILINGS HAVE HELD STEADY AROUND 1 TO 3 KFT THIS MORNING,
INVOKING MVFR AT MOST TERMINALS OVERNIGHT. GOES NIGHT FOG
PRODUCT IS SHOWING WIDESPREAD LOW LEVEL CLOUD TOPS AROUND 3-5
KFT, WHICH HAS SPREAD WEST TO IMPACT KRWL AND KLAR. THESE LOW
CLOUD CEILINGS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD. PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS AT TERMINALS, PARTICULARLY
AT THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE TERMINALS MAY OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON.
CEILINGS AT THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS ARE EXPECTED TO
IMPROVE TO VFR AFTER NOON. SHOWER ACTIVITY IS ANOTHER CONCERN AS
A MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE STARTS TO MOVE IN. THE LATEST HIGH
RESOLUTION MODEL GUIDANCE IS DEPICTING LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY OR
MIST ALONG THE LARAMIE RANGE IN THE AFTERNOON WITH INCREASING
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AFTER 0Z. WINDS WILL BE GREATEST AT KRWL
AND KLAR WITH GUSTS TO 35 KTS FROM THE WEST IN THE AFTERNOON. AT
OTHER TERMINALS WEAK WINDS OF ABOUT 10-15 KTS OUT OF THE EAST.
THESE WINDS MAY BE CALM AND VARIABLE AT TIMES. CEILINGS FALL
AGAIN OVERNIGHT SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
