FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 350° at 3 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 11,000 ft. Forecast suggests this afternoon showers and thunderstorms likely, high near 58F, low near 33F, 71% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; 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.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
High density altitudeMETAR
Density altitude about 7,422 ft (field elevation 6,548 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
