Weather Briefing

MVFR

Kėdainiai Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 8 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2900 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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 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, Rain, Mist. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 20 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Mist between 21:00Z and 04:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
