FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind calm, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests tonight partly cloudy, low near 30F, 1% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; strong winds in the forecast.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 7,006 ft (field elevation 6,259 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Monday: winds up to 26 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
