Weather Briefing
LIFRAllen Parish Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 400 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 5 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
