Weather Briefing
IFRAfonso Pena Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 5 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
