FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 30° at 7 kt, visibility 5 SM, ceiling 3,200 ft. Forecast suggests tonight rain showers likely, low near 43F, 59% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "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 5,419 ft (field elevation 5,055 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
