Weather Briefing

LIFR

Tresco Heliport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 300 feet and 4.8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 8 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4.8 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (overcast), 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.
