Weather Briefing
MVFRBuffalo Municipal Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,100 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 9 knots with gusts to 15 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component (gusting to 11 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 8°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
