Weather Briefing
IFRSt. Mary's Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 9.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 8 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
