FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 360° at 7 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests sunday showers and thunderstorms, high near 84F, low near 74F, 85% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast; strong winds 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.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

Thunderstorms in the forecastWeather.gov

Sunday: Showers And Thunderstorms. Watch for developing convection and plan alternates.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Sunday: winds up to 34 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
