Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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: Showers Rain, Heavy Showers Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, Light Rain. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Showers Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 11:00Z and 19:00Z.
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.
