FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 130° at 10 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 3,400 ft. Forecast suggests tonight scattered showers and thunderstorms, low near 54F, 26% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Isolated Showers And Thunderstorms" 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 6,541 ft (field elevation 4,849 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
