Weather Briefing
VFRAddison Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 5,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 13 knots with gusts to 23 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component (gusting to 15 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 5,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 35°C (95°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
