Weather Briefing

MVFR

Belley-Peyrieu Airfield is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,500 feet and 4.9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 16 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 15-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 4.9 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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, Thunderstorm RAGS, Thunderstorm Rain, Light RADZ. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 15 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 21:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm RAGS between 15:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.

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.
