Weather Briefing
MVFRAurillac airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 10 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 21:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm RAGS between 12:00Z and 19:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
