Weather Briefing
MVFRCoronel FAP Carlos Ciriani Santa Rosa International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,700 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 6 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 23 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: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 07:00Z and 11:00Z.
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 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.
