Weather Briefing
VFRBlue River Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 15 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 9.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 7 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
