// Interpretation

VFR with brisk winds at 260°/14 kt, gusting 21. Visibility 9.0 SM and a few at 4,400 ft, scattered at 9,100 ft, and scattered at 11,000 ft. 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.
