Weather Briefing

LIFR

Cheb Airfield is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.15 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0.15 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 1°C (34°F) with a dewpoint of 1°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 21 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: Mist, Fog, Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 03:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 11:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 17:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

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