FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 120° at 8 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests tonight chance rain showers then areas of fog, low near 29F, 50% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Chance Rain Showers" 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 6,231 ft (field elevation 6,193 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

Thunderstorms in the forecastWeather.gov

Saturday: Chance Rain Showers. Watch for developing convection and plan alternates.
