Airmet Sierra Update 1 For IFR and Mountain Obscuration valid till 13 1500

Airmet IFR conditions in these states:
From these airports/navaids (look up on skyvector or a VFR/IFR chart)

CIG= Ceiling BLW= Below

Some of the words you can guess like CONDS= Conditions BYD= Beyond CONTG=Continuing

All of these words are basically abbreviations of the actual word. Just think about it.
