FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 290° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests tonight mostly cloudy, low near 33F, 1% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,714 ft (field elevation 5,374 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
