Weather Briefing
VFRChambéry Aix les Bains airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 9 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm RAGS. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm RAGS between 15:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.
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.
