⚠ HARD STALECYLK hasn't reported a new METAR in 14h 1m.
This airport may not be actively reporting — the values below could be unreliable. Consider checking the nearest reporting alternate.
VFR — ceiling 8,300 ft. Moderate winds at 110°/9 kt, gusting 16, visibility better than 10 statute miles, a few at 6,900 ft, broken at 8,300 ft, and broken at 24,000 ft. Reported weather: -TSRA. Would shift to MVFR if the ceiling drops to 3,000 ft or visibility below 5 SM.

Approximate using ~10% perf loss / 1,000 ft DA for normally aspirated, scaled by powerplant type. Verify with your aircraft's POH for accurate numbers — especially above 5,000 ft DA where these rules of thumb diverge.
