FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 170° at 6 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests tonight light rain, low near 41F, 97% chance of precipitation. Key risks: strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Light Rain Likely" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
