Weather Briefing
VFRBenson Municipal Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,800 feet and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 63 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 8 knots with gusts to 14 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component (gusting to 14 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 4800 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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.
