Weather Briefing

IFR

Digby / Annapolis Regional Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 500 feet and 4 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 10 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 10 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: Mist, Fog, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 20:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 20:00Z and 22:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
