Weather Briefing

VFR

Georgetown-Scott County Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 17,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 8 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,400 ft, scattered at 17,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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.
