Extended forecast and pilot notes
Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 20° at 15 kt, gusting 23 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests tonight scattered rain showers, low near 52F, 43% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Scattered Rain Showers" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
