FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 110° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests tonight mostly clear, low near 24F, 0% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; strong winds in the forecast.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 7,910 ft (field elevation 8,153 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Tuesday: winds up to 25 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
