Weather Briefing

IFR

Atwood-Rawlins City-County Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 900 feet and 4 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 8 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
