FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 250° at 3 kt, visibility 5 SM, ceiling 1,600 ft. Forecast suggests tonight showers and thunderstorms, low near 39F, 81% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Showers And Thunderstorms" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,656 ft (field elevation 5,439 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
