Weather Briefing

MVFR

Bonnyville Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 5,000 feet and 15 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 16 knots with gusts to 21 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 12-knot crosswind component (gusting to 16 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is -1°C (30°F) with a dewpoint of -3°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Snow, Light Snow, Mist, Light Snow, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow between 12:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow, Mist between 21:00Z and 01:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
