Weather Briefing
VFRFort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 18,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 5 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft, scattered at 18,000 ft, scattered at 25,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 15 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 19:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

About Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport
Overview
Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) is a large airport located in southeastern Florida, serving the greater Miami metropolitan area. Situated at 9 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 26.072599, -80.152702, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial, cargo, and general aviation operations in South Florida.
Flying Conditions
South Florida's tropical maritime climate presents variable weather conditions for pilots, with significant humidity and potential for thunderstorm development, particularly during summer months. The airport's low elevation and coastal proximity mean wind conditions can change rapidly, with prevailing winds typically influencing runway 10/28 operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel asphalt runways: 10L/28R at 9,000 feet and 10R/28L at 8,000 feet, providing flexible approach and departure options for various aircraft types. Its proximity to the Atlantic coast creates potential for wind shear and turbulence, particularly during seasonal weather transitions and afternoon convective developments.
Approach Considerations
Runway selections will primarily depend on current wind direction, with the parallel 10/28 runways offering standard west/east approaches. Pilots should anticipate potential wind gradient effects due to the airport's low coastal elevation and be prepared for rapid meteorological changes characteristic of the subtropical Florida environment.
