FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 20° at 7 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests this afternoon partly sunny, high near 49F, low near 29F, 6% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; strong winds in the forecast.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,101 ft (field elevation 5,102 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Tuesday: winds up to 32 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
