Weather Briefing

LIFR

Vicecomodoro Angel D. La Paz Aragonés Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 900 feet and 1.5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 7 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 1.5 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Drizzle, Mist, Mist, Light Drizzle. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 02:00Z and 12:00Z.

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.
