FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category IFR, wind from 240° at 11 kt, visibility 1.86 SM, ceiling none. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: low visibility; high temperature.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

Low visibilityMETAR

Visibility 1.86 SM. Conditions may be unsuitable for VFR; review IFR options and alternates.

High temperatureMETAR

Temperature 37C. Hot conditions degrade engine and climb performance; expect higher density altitude.
