Weather Briefing

MVFR

Myrtle Beach International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (10°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z.

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.

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