FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 150° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 3,300 ft. Forecast suggests tonight light rain, low near 38F, 89% chance of precipitation. Key risks: strong winds in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Chance Light Rain" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
