As of 9:15 AM ET, Oct 27, based on the nearest station (KRMG), 2GA8 is currently LIFR with calm winds, visibility 4 statute miles, and a 100 ft ceiling.

Aviation weather near Shannon Flight Strip in Shannon, GA, decoded from the nearest reporting station (KRMG): conditions and runway crosswinds.

Shannon Flight Strip (2GA8) is a general aviation airport serving pilots in and around Shannon, GA at a field elevation of 677 ft. 2GA8 has no weather station of its own. Conditions here are decoded from KRMG, about 4 nm away, the nearest reporting station, and local conditions can differ. It has one runway (03/21), the longest 1,600 ft. The nearest TAF is issued for KRYY.

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.
