Weather Briefing
VFRSaint Louis Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 6 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 20:00Z and 02:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
