Weather Briefing
VFRMariscal Lamar Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
