Weather Briefing

MVFR

Tulsa Riverside Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 11,000 feet and 5 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (170°) at 7 knots with gusts to 16 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 5 knots crosswind).

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 SM. The ceiling is 11000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 22 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 02:00Z and 04:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

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