Weather Briefing
VFRAtlantic City International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 9,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 10 knots with gusts to 19 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 3 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 9,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 41°C (106°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
