Weather Briefing
VFRPoitiers-Biard Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 5 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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 24 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 Showers Rain, Mist, Fog, Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 01:00Z and 07:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 03:00Z and 07:00Z.
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.
