FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 140° at 9 kt, visibility 40 SM, ceiling 27,000 ft. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests tonight mostly clear, low near 37F, 0% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,667 ft (field elevation 4,349 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
