Weather Briefing

LIFR

Digby / Annapolis Regional Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 400 feet and 3 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 3 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 1°C (34°F) with a dewpoint of 1°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 Snow, Mist, Light Showers Rain, Mist, Light Showers Rain, Mist, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 06:00Z and 13:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions between 06:00Z and 13:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 13:00Z and 16:00Z.

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.
