Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4900 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Fog. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 25 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 21:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 15:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 21:00Z and 01:00Z.
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.
