Weather Briefing
VFRRouyn Noranda Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,200 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 9 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 4200 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 19:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, FCST between 22:00Z and 00:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
