FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind variable at 3 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests this afternoon sunny, high near 61F, low near 31F, 0% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; strong winds in the forecast.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 6,030 ft (field elevation 5,140 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Monday: winds up to 30 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
