What it says
| Field | Value | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Flight category | VFR | Visual flight rules — ceiling above 3,000 ft and visibility greater than 5 SM. |
| Wind | 350° at 8 kt | Direction is degrees true, as reported. |
| Visibility | 10+ SM | 10 SM is the maximum an automated US station reports; it means 10 or greater. |
| Ceiling | Unlimited | No broken, overcast or obscured layer reported. |
