Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Shallow Fog, Light Showers Rain, Heavy Showers Rain, Fog, Light Rain, Mist, Haze, Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Showers Rain, Fog between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain between 03:00Z and 09:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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