Weather Briefing
VFROlympia Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,800 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 7 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 3800 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
