Good Wednesday Morning!
MROC has extended their GA restrictions until the 02nd of April from 16z to 22z daily. CYJT, a well-used ETP in Newfoundland continues to have a PPR concerning the availability of runway 09/27. Nearby airport, CYDF, might be a better choice. Daytime runway closures continue at MMTO from 1535-1730z until the end of the month. MMSM might be a good alternative airport. National Day of Mourning will occur on Thursday the 09th in the US and as a result the federal government will likely have reduced services. If you need to obtain customs over the next few days, it might be advisable to get those requests in ASAP. A critical weather day remains in effect through 12z Thursday due to wildfire ops in the Los Angeles area. If you are planning on going to Dallas to North Georgia and TN over the next few days, please be advised several winter storm warnings and watches remain in effect for snow and freezing rain. No geomagnetic storms are forecast through Friday.
