Weather Briefing

MVFR

Alice International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,400 feet and 8 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 7 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 SM. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Mist, Haze.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.
