Weather Briefing

MVFR

Bonnyville Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,500 feet and 8 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 15 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 14-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 SM. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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: Light Rain, Mist, Light RASN, Mist, Light Snow, Mist, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 7 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist between 03:00Z and 10:00Z.

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.
