FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 50° at 7 kt, visibility 8 SM, ceiling 3,000 ft. Forecast suggests tonight rain showers likely then chance rain and snow showers, low near 32F, 67% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; strong winds in the forecast.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 7,598 ft (field elevation 7,284 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Tuesday: winds up to 35 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
