FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 100° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 8,000 ft. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: thunderstorms reported; high density altitude.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

Thunderstorms reportedMETAR

Thunderstorms are in the current observation. Expect rapidly changing winds, turbulence, and reduced visibility near cells.

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 6,242 ft (field elevation 4,462 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
