Can You Land At This Airport?

Scenario:

You're a non-instrument rated private pilot taking a cross-country in your Cessna 182 from Boulder, CO (KBDU) to Cheyenne, WY (KCYS).

You takeoff from Boulder at noon. Shortly into your flight, the weather starts to deteriorate. You look on your sectional for diversion airports and spot Fort Collins (KFNL) about 10 miles ahead.
