Weather Briefing
IFRLyon Bron Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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: Light Rain, RADZ, Showers Rain, Thunderstorm RAGS, Light Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with RADZ between 03:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 03:00Z and 07:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
