Weather Briefing

MVFR

Atacalco Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,500 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 20.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
