99%
of daylight hours VFR, 2006 to 2025

Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.

19
thunderstorm days a year

Thunderstorms were reported on about 19 days a year. 77% of storm hours fall in July, August and September, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.

Runway wind check

Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.

Current wind is variable at 3 kt: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

“Current use” is what the tower TFDM configurationstates; 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.
