Weather Briefing
MVFRLicenciado Miguel de la Madrid International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 5 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 10 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft (CB), few at 18,000 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 16:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
