Weather Briefing
VFRF. D. Roosevelt Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (90°) at 16 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
