FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 180° at 10 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 1,000 ft. Forecast suggests monday slight chance showers and thunderstorms then chance showers and thunderstorms, high near 65F, low near 50F, 67% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Showers And Thunderstorms Likely" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
