Weather Briefing
VFRBaie-Comeau Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,500 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (90°) at 5 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, FCST, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
