Current pilot readout for KLOM
KLOM is currently IFR with calm winds, visibility 2.5 statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately -1,250 ft (field elevation 301 ft). KLOM does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KPNE, about 12 nm away.
KLOM by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLOM reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 274 flyable days a year. November is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 9% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 66% of the time, runway 06 34%, and winds were calm 36% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 6 days a year. From December to February KLOM was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 8% from June to August.
Field elevation is 301 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,810 ft, 1,509 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 12% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 48 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 5 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 |

“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.
