FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 190° at 14 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 1,500 ft. Forecast suggests this afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms, high near 65F, low near 50F, 58% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Scattered Showers And Thunderstorms" 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 5,027 ft (field elevation 4,216 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
