Flight category is not your personal go/no-go
"KVNY is VFR" is the regulatory picture. Whether you should fly depends on your ratings, your aircraft, and your personal minimums: the crosswind, gust, ceiling, and visibility limits that mean stop for you. GoNoGo Weather scores KVNY's live conditions against your own numbers and gives you one straight answer: GO, CAUTION, or NO-GO.

What the flight categories mean
VFR ceiling > 3,000 ft and visibility > 5 sm. MVFR ceiling 1,000–3,000 ft or visibility 3–5 sm. IFR ceiling 500–1,000 ft or visibility 1–3 sm. LIFR below that. These are decoded live from the KVNY METAR (official NWS/FAA data via aviationweather.gov) and refresh through the day.
