KEFT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEFT reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 245 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 24% 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 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 33% of the time, runway 30 29%, and winds were calm 10% 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 54 days a year. From December to February KEFT was IFR or worse 19% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 39 days a year. 52% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
