FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 170° at 4 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 4,000 ft. Forecast suggests monday chance rain showers, high near 88F, low near 70F, 42% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms 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.
