Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 4300 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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.
