Weather Briefing
LIFRTrois-Rivières Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 400 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 6 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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. 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, Mist, Light Rain, FCST, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 20:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with FCST, FCST between 04:00Z and 08:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
