Issued at 1043 PM MDT Sun Sep 29 2024 A dry cold front tracks southward to start the TAF period, moving from northern Wyoming southward. KCOD is the first to be impacted at the very start of the period. Gusty winds 20 to 30 knots accompany the initial passage of the front. These winds decrease within a couple hours of frontal passage. The front moves through other sites through the TAF period, shifting winds to a northerly/northeasterly direction, excluding western-most sites (KBPI, KJAC, and KPNA). Winds will be strongest for more northern sites, with lesser gusty wind impacts the further south the front travels. KJAC and KRIW could see a few gusts up to 20 knots Monday afternoon, but not expecting it to be frequent, so have left out of the TAFs. A few high clouds may accompany the front, but the sky should otherwise remain clear to mostly clear. The front also pushes the smoke from the Pack Trail fire southward. This should move the thicker smoke out of the vicinity of KWRL near the start of the period. However, the smoke begins to filter into central Wyoming, including KCPR, KLND, and KRIW Monday morning. Smoke should increase towards the afternoon as instability allows greater smoke production. These central sites could see some visibility reductions with the smoke, especially KRIW due to its proximity to the fire. Have kept any mention out of the TAFs for now due to lower confidence at this range (main smoke impacts look to begin after 21Z/Mon). Will need to re-evaluate for future issuances. Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence forecasts.

Issued at 830 PM MDT Sun Sep 29 2024 Overview: An abrupt northerly wind shift assoc/w a cold frontal passage late Monday morning remains the primary aviation concern. Otherwise, clear skies and benign weather will persist. VFR conditions /clear skies/ will rule through the TAF period at both terminals. South winds at 8-13 knots will prevail this evening and overnight, shifting to the SW-WSW around or shortly after sunrise (~12-14Z). Winds will abruptly shift to the N and increase to 17-22 knots w/gusts up to ~30 knots in association with a cold frontal passage late Monday morning (~17Z). The precise timing of the frontal passage (FROPA) remains somewhat uncertain. In other words.. FROPA could occur a few hours on either side of 17Z. Breezy NNE to NE winds will prevail through the afternoon and may persist for several hours after sunset, eventually decreasing to 10-15 knots Monday evening (by 06Z Tue) as surface high pressure builds southward over the Tri-State area.
