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	120° at 5 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	10,000 ft OVC	Lowest OVC layer, 10,000 ft above the field.
Sky	Few at 5,000 ft AGL, Few at 6,000 ft AGL, Overcast at 10,000 ft AGL	—
Temperature	6°C (42°F)	—
Dewpoint	3°C (37°F)	—
Temp/dewpoint spread	3°C	The margin before the air reaches saturation.
Altimeter	29.07 inHg	Set this in the Kollsman window; it is the field’s current sea level pressure setting.
