Weather Briefing
LIFRCochrane Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 300 feet and 5 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 SM. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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 12 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, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 02:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with FCST between 08:00Z 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.
