Weather Briefing
VFRBeaver Creek Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,000 feet and 25 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 25 SM. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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.
