FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 120° at 10 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 8,500 ft. Forecast suggests this afternoon showers and thunderstorms, high near 69F, low near 58F, 76% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Chance Showers And Thunderstorms" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Does KODO have a METAR?
Yes. KODO has a current METAR observation, decoded into plain English on this page.
Does KODO have a TAF?
When KODO 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 KODO?
KODO sits at 3,004 ft MSL, which factors into the density-altitude estimate on this page.
Is this an official preflight weather briefing for KODO?
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.
