FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 190° at 12 kt, gusting 15 kt, visibility 7 SM, ceiling 1,000 ft. Forecast suggests monday rain showers, high near 53F, low near 44F, 96% 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 "Showers And Thunderstorms Likely" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
