Current aviation conditions show flight category IFR, wind from 350° at 20 kt, gusting 27 kt, visibility 1.5 SM, ceiling 700 ft. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: gusty winds; crosswind component; low visibility; icing risk.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

Gusty windsMETAR

Winds gusting to 27 kt. Plan for the gust factor on approach and landing.

Crosswind componentMETAR

Best runway 08 still has about 19 kt of crosswind. Confirm it is below your personal minimums.

Low visibilityMETAR

Visibility 1.5 SM. Conditions may be unsuitable for VFR; review IFR options and alternates.

Icing riskMETAR

Precipitation with freezing or near-freezing temperatures. Structural and induction icing are possible.
