Weather Briefing

VFR

Berens River Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,500 feet and 12 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 13.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 6 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 12 SM. The ceiling is 7500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
