What is VFR flight not recommended typically associated with in a weather briefing?

VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flight is not recommended in severe weather conditions due to the potential hazards posed by such weather. Severe weather includes phenomena like thunderstorms, significant turbulence, low visibility, and extreme wind conditions, all of which can create dangerous and unpredictable flying environments.

When flying VFR, pilots rely on visual cues to navigate and maintain separation from other aircraft and terrain. In severe weather, visibility may be reduced, making it difficult for pilots to see and avoid obstacles or other aircraft, which is critical for safe flight operations. Additionally, severe weather can lead to rapid changes in conditions that a pilot may not be able to anticipate or respond to effectively.

While light rain showers or low-level turbulence could present challenges, they generally do not pose the same level of risk as severe weather conditions. Clear skies are, of course, ideal for VFR flight. Therefore, severe weather conditions stand out as the primary concern that typically leads to the recommendation against VFR flight.
