Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 8 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 700 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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 13 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: Mist, Mist, Shallow Fog. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 15:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 19:00Z and 00:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Mist between 23:00Z and 04:00Z.
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.
