FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 20° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 4,800 ft. Forecast suggests tonight rain showers, low near 35F, 82% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast. 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.
