Weather Briefing
VFRCochrane Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,400 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (360°) at 10 knots with gusts to 17 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component (gusting to 13 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 5400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 20:00Z and 02:00Z.
