Weather Briefing
MVFREast Midlands Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 10 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 6°C (43°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.
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: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 02:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 00:00Z.
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.
