Weather Briefing

VFR

Liège Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 12 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,700 ft (TCU), scattered at 2,500 ft. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,700 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 02:00Z and 07:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 15:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
