Weather Briefing
VFRYorkton Municipal Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 700 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 10 knots with gusts to 16 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 700 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 20 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with FCST, FCST between 19:00Z and 00:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
