FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 60° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 3,700 ft. Forecast suggests this afternoon rain and snow, high near 44F, low near 32F, 89% chance of precipitation. Key risks: no significant hazards are highlighted right now, but always confirm against an official briefing. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Light Rain Likely" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
