Weather Briefing
MVFRXoxocotlán International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 21,000 feet and 8 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (360°) at 15 knots with gusts to 25 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 15-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component (gusting to 4 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 SM. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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. 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 23:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
