AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 451 AM MDT FRI MAY 15 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS TAF PACKAGE. WINDS ARE
ANYWHERE FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO THE SOUTHEAST AT OUR TAF SITES THIS
MORNING. WE'LL LIKELY SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT AND VARIABLE
WINDS LATER THIS MORNING, BEFORE WINDS TURN MORE TO THE EAST AS
AN ANTICYCLONE SETS UP OVER THE AREA. WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN
OUT OF THE E/SE THROUGHOUT THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. VIRGA
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE TO THE SOUTH OF KAPA AND KDEN THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, POTENTIALLY SENDING AN OCCASIONAL SOUTHERLY
WIND GUST THROUGH THE AIRPORT. HOWEVER, GEOGRAPHIC AND TEMPORAL
COVERAGE OF THE GUSTY WINDS ARE TOO LOW AT THIS TIME TO INCLUDE IN
THE TAF. WINDS WILL START TO GET MORE UNCERTAIN IN THE EVENING AS
SURFACE LEE TROUGHING TRIES TO DEVELOP. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE WINDS
FOLLOWING A MORE TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERN THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT, BUT IF THE TROUGHING STARTS TO LOOK STRONGER, WE MAY
SEE MORE VARIABLE WINDS AND POTENTIALLY A MORE NORTHERLY WIND
COMPONENT OVERNIGHT.

A SURFACE LOW CENTERED BETWEEN LBL AND DDC AT THE ONSET OF THIS
TAF PERIOD WILL MOVE VERY LITTLE THROUGH THE DAY TODAY, AND THIS
WILL RESULT IN LIGHT WINDS MUCH OF THE DAY, ESPECIALLY AT LBL
AND DDC. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PANHANDLES LATE THIS AFTERNOON, MOVING/EXPANDING
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE EVENING. THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THESE
STORMS WILL LIKELY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO LBL TO WARRANT INCLUSION
OF A PROB30 GROUP FOR THUNDERSTORMS FOR ABOUT A FOUR HOUR PERIOD
EARLY-MID EVENING.
