Weather Briefing
VFRErzincan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 7 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.
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.
