Lower Hay Lake Seaplane Base (0MN3) Area Aviation Weather & Runway Winds

A current METAR is not available for 0MN3 right now.

Aviation weather near Lower Hay Lake Seaplane Base in Jenkins, MN, decoded from the nearest reporting station (KPWC): conditions and runway crosswinds.

Lower Hay Lake Seaplane Base (0MN3) is a seaplane base in Jenkins, MN. 0MN3 has no weather station of its own. Conditions here are decoded from KPWC, about 5 nm away, the nearest reporting station, and local conditions can differ. It has 2 physical runways (06/24, 15/33), the longest 5,000 ft. The nearest TAF is issued for KBRD.

Runway wind check

Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.

Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
