KCRW by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for CRW in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from CRW's own airspace.
KCRW reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 258 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 70% of the time, runway 05 31%, and winds were calm 44% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 42 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KCRW was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 10% from June to August.
CRW departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 76% of the time across 2,731 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (87%) and 3 to 6 PM did worst (63%).
Thunderstorms were reported on about 48 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.

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.
