KASW by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KASW reported VFR in 73% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 232 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 20% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 27 had the best headwind 39% of the time, runway 09 22%, and winds were calm 24% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 65 days a year. From December to February KASW was IFR or worse 18% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 28 days a year, and fog or mist on 153. August and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against 4% in April.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 47 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and August the calmest.

“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.
