Suggested risk level: Low

METAR is stale (417 minutes old).

A suggested risk level for training and situational awareness only, not a go/no-go authority. Verify with official sources and apply your personal minimums.

FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 290° at 9 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests tonight mostly clear, low near 55F, 4% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast; strong winds in the forecast.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
High density altitudeMETAR
Density altitude about 9,471 ft (field elevation 7,014 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
Thunderstorms in the forecastWeather.gov
Friday: Chance Showers And Thunderstorms. Watch for developing convection and plan alternates.
Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov
Sunday: winds up to 31 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
