FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category IFR, visibility 1.86 SM, ceiling none. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: low visibility; high temperature.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
Low visibilityMETAR
Visibility 1.86 SM. Conditions may be unsuitable for VFR; review IFR options and alternates.
High temperatureMETAR
Temperature 37C. Hot conditions degrade engine and climb performance; expect higher density altitude.
