RIVERTON AVIATION DISCUSSION

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 400 AM MDT SAT AUG 8 2026
LARGELY VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY. THE MAIN
POSSIBLY IMPACT WOULD BE AREAS OF SMOKE CONTINUING TO DRIFT IN FROM
FIRES TO THE WEST. IT COULD BRING LOCAL MVFR VISIBILITY, BUT WE LEFT
THIS OUT OF THE TAFS WITH THE CONTINUED DIFFICULTY OF TIMING AND
PLACEMENT OF THE THICKER SMOKE. A GUSTY BREEZE WILL DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON, WITH GUSTS OF 15 TO 25 KNOTS POSSIBLY AT ALL TERMINALS
BETWEEN AROUND 19Z AND 02Z, WITH WIND DECREASING AFTER SUNSET. IN
VICINITY OF KBPI, KPNA AND KRKS, A VIRGA SHOWER WITH WIND GUSTS PAST
35 KNOTS CAN;T BE RULED OUT BETWEEN 20Z AND 03Z. HOWEVER, WITH THE
CHANCE ONLY AROUND 10 PERCENT, IT WAS LEFT OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR
NOW.
PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION WEATHER CENTER AND/OR CWSU ZDV AND ZLC FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON SMOKE, ICING, AND TURBULENCE
FORECASTS.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1121 PM MDT FRI AUG 7 2026
WINDS ARE FAIRLY LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST BETWEEN 10
TO 15 KNOTS AT MOST TERMINALS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO
SUBSIDE AND BECOME VARIABLE THROUGH THE MORNING. A NEAR SURFACE
INVERSION HAS DEVELOPED WITH A LOW LEVEL JET ATOP IT, WHICH IS
INDUCING 40 KTS OF LLWS AT KCDR AND KAIA. THIS LLWS IS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH ABOUT 12Z. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE FOR THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE WHICH MAY
PRODUCE CIGS AT TERMINALS TO 3 KFT OR LOWER. SOME PATCHY FOG IS
POSSIBLE, BUT NOT LIKELY ENOUGH TO INTRODUCE IN THE 06Z TAFS.
LOW CLOUDS RISE AND BURN OFF BY MID MORNING. THE WIND PATTERN
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON IN NEBRASKA IS RATHER CHAOTIC WITH
NUMEROUS WIND SHIFTS. THEREFORE, WIND DIRECTION FORECAST IS OF
LOWER CONFIDENCE THAN NORMAL AT THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
TERMINALS. PREVAILING DIRECTION OUT OF THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED
FOR SE WYOMING TERMINALS WITH GUSTS APPROACHING 30 KNOTS. SOME
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
FOR THE SOUTHEAST WYOMING TERMINALS, BUT PROBABILITIES REMAIN
TOO LOW TO INTRODUCE IN TAFS.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA. ON THE
NOSE OF A SURFACE HIGH ACROSS NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA FOG AND STRATUS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP AGAIN AROUND 9-10Z.
CURRENTLY MCK IS FAVORED AS DEW POINTS IN THE LOW 70S HAVE
ADVECTED IN ALREADY. HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WIND BEING A LITTLE TOO
STRONG THAT MAY AFFECT HOW LOW FOG GETS BUT DO THINK THERE IS
POTENTIAL AGAIN FOR DENSE FOG AND VERY LOW CEILINGS. GLD IS A
BIT ON THE IFFIER SIDE AS THEY ARE FORECAST TO BE ON THE
SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE THREAT. ANY FOG IS FORECAST TO END BY
14-15Z AS BREEZY WINDS DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA. GLD IS FORECAST
TO BE THE BREEZIEST. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR STORMS RESULTING IN
STRONG WINDS AND LIGHTNING SATURDAY AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE WAS
TOO LOW IN IMPACTS TO EITHER TERMINAL TO INCLUDE IN THIS TAF.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD.
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE SOUTHERLY AND INCREASE INTO
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SUSTAINED 15-20
KNOTS WITH GUSTS 25-30 KNOTS. SOME MODEL GUIDANCE DOES INDICATE
A FEW STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE AREA LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING, AND COULD RESULT IN LOCALLY
STRONGER WINDS. HOWEVER, THE CHANCE OF OCCURRENCE AT ANY GIVEN
TERMINAL IS LOW, 20% OR LESS.
