Weather Briefing
LIFRProfessor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.8 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 12 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: Patches Fog, Mist, Rain. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Patches Fog, Mist between 08:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Rain between 16:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
