FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category UNKNOWN, ceiling none. Forecast suggests tonight chance rain showers, low near 68F, 27% chance of precipitation. Key risks: strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Slight Chance Rain Showers" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
