Weather Briefing
MVFRCalvi Sainte Catherine Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 8 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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: Light Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 03:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.
