⚠ HARD STALECYWJ hasn't reported a new METAR in 17h 57m.
This airport may not be actively reporting — the values below could be unreliable. Consider checking the nearest reporting alternate.
VFR — ceiling 6,500 ft. Moderate winds at 260°/9 kt, gusting 15, visibility better than 10 statute miles, a few at 3,500 ft, scattered at 5,500 ft, broken at 6,500 ft, and overcast at 11,000 ft. Reported weather: light rain (-RA). 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. Severity rating assumes a standard altimeter setting (29.92" Hg / 1013 hPa); a non-standard setting shifts the effective altitude by roughly 1,000 ft per 1" Hg of deviation.
