FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 200° at 11 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 2,200 ft. Forecast suggests this afternoon chance showers and thunderstorms, high near 63F, low near 52F, 41% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Slight Chance Showers And Thunderstorms" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
