Current pilot readout for KCMD
KCMD is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 300 ft (field elevation 970 ft). KCMD does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KHSV, about 23 nm away.
KCMD by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCMD reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 252 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December 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 10% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 02 42%, and winds were calm 41% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 66 days a year. 48% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 38 days a year, and fog or mist on 165. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 4% in April.
Field elevation is 970 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,732 ft, 1,762 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 48 kt. February is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and July the calmest.

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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“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.
