FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 10° at 7 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. Forecast suggests today mostly sunny then isolated rain showers, high near 84F, low near 64F, 16% chance of precipitation. Key risks: thunderstorms in the forecast. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Isolated Rain Showers" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
