FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 30° at 12 kt, gusting 17 kt, visibility 7 SM, ceiling 4,700 ft. Forecast suggests tonight showers and thunderstorms likely, low near 74F, 74% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast; strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Showers And Thunderstorms Likely" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

Thunderstorms in the forecastWeather.gov

Tonight: Showers And Thunderstorms Likely. Watch for developing convection and plan alternates.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Tonight: winds up to 29 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Does KLNA have a METAR?

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

Does KLNA have a TAF?

When KLNA 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 KLNA?

KLNA sits at 14 ft MSL, which factors into the density-altitude estimate on this page.

Is this an official preflight weather briefing for KLNA?

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.

This app is for aviation weather education, training, and situational awareness only.
