FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 240° at 3 kt, visibility 4.35 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: high density altitude.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
High density altitudeMETAR
Density altitude about 5,826 ft (field elevation 4,590 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
