Weather Briefing
IFRPresidente General Don Oscar D. Gestido International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 800 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 6 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Fog, RADZ, Mist. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with RADZ between 15:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 23:00Z and 09:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
