Weather Briefing

IFR

Brenham Municipal Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 800 feet and 7 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 5 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 SM. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.
