⚠ HARD STALEVELP hasn't reported a new METAR in 8h 19m.
This airport may not be actively reporting — the values below could be unreliable. Consider checking the nearest reporting alternate.
IFR conditions — visibility 1.2 SM. Light winds at 180°/6 kt, visibility 1.2 SM, a few at 600 ft, scattered at 1,800 ft, and broken at 10,000 ft. Reported weather: BR. Would deteriorate to LIFR below 500 ft ceiling or 1 SM, or improve to MVFR above 1,000 ft and 3 SM.
