Weather Briefing
VFRAllendale County Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 7 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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.
