Weather Briefing

MVFR

Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,000 feet and 4 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 10 knots with gusts to 20 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 3 knots crosswind).

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (overcast), 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 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 19 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: Heavy Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Haze, Light Rain, Haze. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Rain, Haze between 08:00Z and 14:00Z.

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.

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