A remote pilot-in-command (PIC) is evaluating weather conditions for a proposed small unmanned aircraft (sUA) operation and determines that a stationary front is influencing the area. The front is producing widespread low stratus clouds, light rain, and light winds. What is the primary performance impact on the sUA from this weather scenario?

A remote pilot is evaluating potential small UAS operating sites based on the Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METARs) shown in Figure 12. Which location's conditions most strongly suggest proximity to a frontal boundary between air masses, where low visibility due to fog and low overcast ceilings could adversely affect UAS performance and visual line-of-sight operations?

When planning a small UAS operation in the vicinity of an approaching cold front, which weather effect is most likely to adversely impact aircraft control?
medium
Refer to the provided figure, a Low-Level Significant Weather Prognostic Chart. A remote PIC is evaluating small UAS performance risks for an operation near 90W, 40N at 18Z Sat Apr 14 2012, where the chart depicts moderate turbulence along with areas of ceilings less than 1,000 feet and/or visibility less than 3 miles. These conditions most likely result from
