FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category LIFR, wind from 230° at 37 kt, gusting 47 kt, visibility 0.93 SM, ceiling 400 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; strong winds; low visibility; crosswind component.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

Gusty windsMETAR

Winds gusting to 47 kt. Plan for the gust factor on approach and landing.

Strong windsMETAR

Sustained winds 37 kt. Check your personal crosswind limits and runway suitability.

Low visibilityMETAR

Visibility 0.93 SM. Conditions may be unsuitable for VFR; review IFR options and alternates.

Crosswind componentMETAR

Best runway 27 still has about 22 kt of crosswind. Confirm it is below your personal minimums.
