Weather Briefing

VFR

Maurice Bishop International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,600 feet and 9 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (100°) at 13 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 3600 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,100 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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.

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