Weather Briefing

IFR

Mary's Harbour Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 500 feet and 9 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 10 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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 7 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Mist, Light Drizzle, Mist, Mist, FCST, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Drizzle, Mist between 20:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist, FCST, FCST between 22:00Z and 03:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
