FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

No aviation METAR is published for this airport. The nearest National Weather Service station reports wind from 140° at 4 kt, visibility 10 SM, temperature 29.1C. This observation is older than usual, so treat it with extra caution. Treat this as supplemental, not an aviation observation. Forecast suggests tonight clear, low near 74F, 0% chance of precipitation. Key risks: extreme heat in the forecast.
