MVFRLac du Bonnet Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,700 feet and 3 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 28 knots with gusts to 42 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 28-knot crosswind component (gusting to 41 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 3 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4700 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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: Blowing Dust, Light Showers Rain, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 14 to 25 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Blowing Dust between 04:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
