Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 5 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,700 ft, few at 1,900 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,900 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
