FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 350° at 6 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 8,000 ft. Forecast suggests sunday scattered rain showers, high near 83F, low near 69F, 49% chance of precipitation. Key risks: strong winds in the forecast; 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.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

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

Thunderstorms in the forecastWeather.gov

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

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Does KSEF have a METAR?

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

Does KSEF have a TAF?

When KSEF 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 KSEF?

KSEF sits at 62 ft MSL, which factors into the density-altitude estimate on this page.

Is this an official preflight weather briefing for KSEF?

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.
