Current pilot readout for KFET
KFET is currently VFR with winds from 140° at 8 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. the wind favors southeast-facing runway ends (14). Density altitude is approximately 1,400 ft (field elevation 1,204 ft). KFET does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KOMA, about 30 nm away.
KFET by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KFET reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 277 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 14 had the best headwind 53% of the time, runway 32 48%, and winds were calm 16% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 35 days a year. From December to February KFET was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 66 days a year. 52% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Field elevation is 1,204 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,028 ft, 1,824 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 22% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 57 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 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.
