Weather Briefing

VFR

Taloyoak Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 18,000 feet and 15 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 21.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 15T/33T is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 18000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
