Weather Briefing

IFR

Beeville Municipal Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 900 feet and 7 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 9 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 SM. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

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