Weather Briefing
MVFRDavid the Builder Kutaisi International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,200 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 21 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: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 04:00Z and 08:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 14:00Z.
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.
