Weather Briefing

VFR

Professor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 5 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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 12 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: RADZ, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with RADZ, Mist between 18:00Z and 00:00Z.

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.

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