Current pilot readout for KCVN
KCVN is currently MVFR with winds from 150° at 9 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 3,000 ft ceiling. the wind favors southeast-facing runway ends (12). Density altitude is approximately 5,800 ft (field elevation 4,216 ft). KCVN does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KCVS, about 12 nm away.
KCVN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCVN reported VFR in 91% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 322 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 7% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 4% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 32% of the time, runway 26 19%, and winds were calm 5% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 47 days a year. 61% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 7 days a year. From December to February KCVN was IFR or worse 6% of the time, against 2% from June to August.
Field elevation is 4,216 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,987 ft, 2,771 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 21% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 85 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 12 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.
