FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 150° at 21 kt, gusting 24 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 2,300 ft. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests tonight light rain, low near 35F, 100% chance of precipitation. Key risks: crosswind component; 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

Crosswind componentMETAR

Best runway 08 still has about 18 kt of crosswind. Confirm it is below your personal minimums.

Strong winds in the forecastWeather.gov

Tuesday: winds up to 39 kt. Re-check crosswind components closer to departure.
