Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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: Light Rain, Light Rain, Mist, Rain, Mist, Light Showers Rain, Mist. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 6 to 18 knots.
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.
