KLWB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for LWB in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from LWB's own airspace.
KLWB reported VFR in 74% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 246 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 11% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 8% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 04 40%, and winds were calm 42% 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 44 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 0. From December to February KLWB was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 12% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 85 days a year, and fog or mist on 176. August and September are the foggiest months, with fog in 18% of hours, against 3% in April.
Field elevation is 2,302 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,939 ft, 1,637 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
