FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind calm, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 1,100 ft. Forecast suggests today chance rain showers then slight chance showers and thunderstorms, high near 68F, low near 48F, 47% chance of precipitation. Key risks: 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.
