Weather Briefing

LIFR

Northwest Regional Hospital Helipad is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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 24 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: Fog. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 14:00Z and 21:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 15:00Z and 00:00Z.

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.

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