KEVW by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEVW reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 289 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 11% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 5% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 73% of the time, runway 05 27%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 91 days a year. From December to February KEVW was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 59 days a year, and fog or mist on 107. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 12% of hours, against under 1% in July.
Field elevation is 7,143 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 9,733 ft, 2,590 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 16% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 64 kt. February is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and July the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05 | 7,300 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 23 | 7,300 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
