FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 30° at 7 kt, gusting 18 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests tonight mostly clear, low near 36F, 0% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 6,086 ft (field elevation 4,759 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
