Weather Briefing

LIFR

Magas Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,800 feet and 4.6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4.6 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 4°C (39°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain, Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Fog between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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.
