MVFRAlbert Bray airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 07:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
