FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 150° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. Forecast suggests thursday sunny, high near 88F, low near 62F, 1% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,432 ft (field elevation 4,497 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
