Weather Briefing

IFR

Friesach/Hirt Airfield is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 3°C (37°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 05:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 00:00Z.

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.

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