A manageable breeze for most sport models and trainers; very light foamies may get pushed around.

Why Good: 32°F, battery capacity drops.

Based on KALB, 4.6 nm away. Measured at the airport, not the field.

⚠️ Weather shown is from the nearest full-scale reporting station, not measured at the field. Not for flight decisions: assess wind and sky conditions on site and follow the AMA Safety Code and your club's field rules.
