Tigerbird Field (2TS3) Area Aviation Weather & Runway Winds

A current METAR is not available for 2TS3 right now.

Aviation weather near Tigerbird Field in Waco, TX, decoded from the nearest reporting station (KACT): conditions and runway crosswinds.

Tigerbird Field (2TS3) is a general aviation airport serving pilots in and around Waco, TX at a field elevation of 450 ft. 2TS3 has no weather station of its own. Conditions here are decoded from KACT, about 4 nm away, the nearest reporting station, and local conditions can differ. It has one runway (15/33), the longest 2,100 ft.

What changed at KACT (nearest station)?

Since the 1651Z (11:51 AM CDT) report, compared automatically against the latest METAR.

  • Flight category improved from MVFR to VFR.
  • Wind direction moved from 140° to 170°.
  • The 1,000 ft ceiling dissipated, no ceiling now.

The latest report is an off-schedule special (SPECI), issued because conditions changed significantly. What is a SPECI? →

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.
