Weather Briefing
LIFRAtlantic City International Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,000 feet and 0.145 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 27 knots with gusts to 41 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 23-knot headwind and 14-knot crosswind component (gusting to 21 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.145 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 6000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 22 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain, Mist, Mist. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 15 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 02:00Z and 04:00Z.
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. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.
