FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

No aviation METAR is published for this airport. The nearest National Weather Service station reports wind from 50° at 6 kt, visibility 5 SM, temperature -2C. Treat this as supplemental, not an aviation observation. Forecast suggests tonight areas of fog, low near 31F, 80% chance of precipitation. Key risks: strong winds in the forecast.
