Suggested risk level: Moderate

›Wind gusting to 24 kt (gust spread 12 kt).

FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 280° at 12 kt, gusting 24 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 4,800 ft. Forecast suggests tonight showers and thunderstorms then mostly cloudy, low near 31F, 89% chance of precipitation. Key risks: high density altitude; thunderstorms in the forecast; strong winds in the forecast. 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.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,000 ft (field elevation 4,858 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

Thunderstorms in the forecastWeather.gov

Tonight: Showers And Thunderstorms then Mostly Cloudy. Watch for developing convection and plan alternates.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Tonight: winds up to 32 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Does KRXE have a METAR?

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

Does KRXE have a TAF?

When KRXE 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 KRXE?

KRXE sits at 4,858 ft MSL, which factors into the density-altitude estimate on this page.

Is this an official preflight weather briefing for KRXE?

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.
