FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 160° at 9 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests tonight slight chance showers and thunderstorms then chance showers and thunderstorms, low near 49F, 48% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast; strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Slight Chance Showers And Thunderstorms" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
