Weather Briefing
VFRBigfork Municipal Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,500 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 8 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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.
