FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 30° at 22 kt, gusting 34 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests this afternoon showers and thunderstorms, high near 83F, low near 74F, 86% chance of precipitation. Key risks: gusty winds; thunderstorms in the forecast; strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "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

Gusty windsMETAR

Winds gusting to 34 kt. Plan for the gust factor on approach and landing.

Thunderstorms in the forecastWeather.gov

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

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Does KPMP have a METAR?

Yes. KPMP has a current METAR observation, decoded into plain English on this page.

Does KPMP have a TAF?

When KPMP 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 KPMP?

KPMP sits at 19 ft MSL, which factors into the density-altitude estimate on this page.

Is this an official preflight weather briefing for KPMP?

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.
