FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 20° at 17 kt, gusting 27 kt, visibility 9 SM, ceiling 1,500 ft. Forecast suggests this afternoon showers and thunderstorms likely, high near 73F, low near 66F, 62% chance of precipitation. Key risks: gusty winds; thunderstorms in the forecast; strong winds 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
