Weather Briefing

LIFR

Shikabe Airfield is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 8 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 00:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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.
