Valverda Strip (7LA0) Area Aviation Weather & Runway Winds

As of 3:15 PM CDT, Oct 27, based on the nearest station (KHZR), 7LA0 is currently VFR with variable winds at 3 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported.

Aviation weather near Valverda Strip in Maringouin, LA, decoded from the nearest reporting station (KHZR): conditions and runway crosswinds.

Valverda Strip (7LA0) is a general aviation airport serving pilots in and around Maringouin, LA at a field elevation of 50 ft. 7LA0 has no weather station of its own. Conditions here are decoded from KHZR, about 12 nm away, the nearest reporting station, and local conditions can differ. It has one runway (09/27), the longest 3,000 ft. The nearest TAF is issued for KBTR.

Runway wind check

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

Current wind is variable at 3 kt: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

7LA0 runways

“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.
