Weather Briefing

IFR

Tierp Airfield is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 900 feet.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 8 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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: Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions between 03:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 18:00Z and 03:00Z.

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.

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