FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 190° at 9 kt, visibility 8 SM, ceiling 1,300 ft. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests this afternoon light rain, high near 38F, low near 36F, 100% chance of precipitation. Key risks: strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Light Rain" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

This Afternoon: winds up to 26 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
