Weather Briefing

VFR

Bellefontaine Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet. Note: This observation is 54.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 6 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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.
