FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 170° at 9 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 4,600 ft. Forecast suggests tonight chance showers and thunderstorms, low near 52F, 67% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Chance 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 5,017 ft (field elevation 4,216 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
