FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category IFR, wind from 70° at 4 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 500 ft. Forecast suggests this afternoon rain showers, high near 50F, low near 45F, 92% chance of precipitation. Key risks: no significant hazards are highlighted right now, but always confirm against an official briefing. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Rain Showers" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
