Coastal flooding is occurring or imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert for rising water, and take appropriate action to protect life and property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. High surf will affect the beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. Swimmers should remain out of the water due to large breaking waves and dangerous surf conditions. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

CURRENT METAR

Decoded observation

Observed 1347Z (9:47 AM local) · 54 min old

KEVB is currently VFR. Winds are from the northeast at 16 knots gusting 22. Visibility is 10 statute miles. There is no ceiling. The main issue is wind gusting to 22 kt (gust spread 6 kt).

FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 60° at 16 kt, gusting 22 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests today showers and thunderstorms likely, high near 80F, low near 71F, 65% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast; strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Slight Chance Rain Showers" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
Thunderstorms in the forecastWeather.gov
Today: Showers And Thunderstorms Likely. Watch for developing convection and plan alternates.
Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov
Today: winds up to 30 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Does KEVB have a METAR?
Yes. KEVB has a current METAR observation, decoded into plain English on this page.
Does KEVB have a TAF?
When KEVB issues a TAF, its decoded forecast timeline loads live on this page; otherwise use the nearest TAF-issuing field as a planning reference.
What is the field elevation at KEVB?
KEVB sits at 10 ft MSL, which factors into the density-altitude estimate on this page.
Is this an official preflight weather briefing for KEVB?
No. wxdecoder.com is for education and situational awareness only. It is not an official weather briefing or a substitute for official sources, NOTAM review, and pilot judgment.
