Weather Briefing

LIFR

Coll Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 12.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 16 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 12-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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.
