Weather Briefing
MVFRManchester Barton Aerodrome is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 13 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2100 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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. 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 RADZ. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 01:00Z and 10:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light RADZ between 01:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.
