Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 38% of the time, runway 33 37%, and winds were calm 26% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 18 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 3. From December to February KHWV was IFR or worse 14% of the time, against 12% from June to August.
