Weather Briefing
LIFRL.F. Wade International Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.4 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 20 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain, Fog. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 10:00Z 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.
