The Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) is shown across its full validity period, with each change group broken out so you can see when conditions are expected to shift. Flight category is derived automatically — VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR — from reported ceiling and visibility, with runway details and field elevation alongside. Observations update roughly hourly and forecasts several times a day.

About Scotland, Virginia
Scotland, Virginia, breathes a humid, pine-scented air that clings to the skin like dew on a spiderweb. It lies 7.4 miles south-west of Williamsburg, VA (from Williamsburg, VA: bearing 216°T), and is situated 8.1 miles south of James City. The land here, a gentle swell of coastal plain, gives way to the dark, slow-moving waters of the James River, its surface often a mirror for the vast, indifferent sky. Oak and loblolly pine stand sentinel along the roadsides, their branches draped with Spanish moss, creating a shadowed, verdant tunnel that swallows the sunlight. The occasional weathered clapboard house, painted in shades of faded blue or sun-bleached white, peeks through the foliage, hinting at lives lived in quiet communion with this damp, green earth. The history of Scotland is a slow unfolding, tied intrinsically to the bounty of the river and the fertile soil. Once a vital artery for commerce, its docks now stand as silent monuments to a bygone era of schooners and steamships. The economy, once robust with tobacco and timber, has settled into a more modest rhythm, with small farms and fishing continuing to sustain its residents. This quiet persistence is the character of Scotland, a place where the past is not a grand pronouncement but a whisper carried on the breeze, an echo in the rustle of leaves along the riverbank.
