FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind variable at 3 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 1,700 ft. Forecast suggests tonight rain, low near 38F, 100% chance of precipitation. Key risks: strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Light Rain Likely" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
