Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (170°) at 5 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1300 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

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.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 7 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.
