Weather Briefing

VFR

Durant Regional Airport - Eaker Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 11,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (100°) at 10 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 11000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 6 to 18 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 08:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 16:00Z and 22:00Z.

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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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