Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft.
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.
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.
