FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category IFR, wind from 170° at 9 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 600 ft. Forecast suggests today slight chance rain showers, high near 56F, low near 41F, 61% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude. 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

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,318 ft (field elevation 5,374 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Does KLIC have a METAR?

Yes. KLIC has a current METAR observation, decoded into plain English on this page.

Does KLIC have a TAF?

When KLIC 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 KLIC?

KLIC sits at 5,374 ft MSL, which factors into the density-altitude estimate on this page.

Is this an official preflight weather briefing for KLIC?

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.
