FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 180° at 7 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 2,400 ft. Forecast suggests this afternoon chance showers and thunderstorms, high near 72F, low near 57F, 57% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Chance Showers And Thunderstorms" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
