KEWB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEWB reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 251 flyable days a year. November is the most reliable month and May 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 13% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 40% of the time, runway 32 28%, and winds were calm 25% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 27 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KEWB was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 17% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 58 days a year, and fog or mist on 194. June and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 14% of hours, against 10% in November.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 52 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05 | 5,400 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 14 | 5,002 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 23 | 5,400 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.
