KMGM 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 MGM in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from MGM's own airspace.
KMGM reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 279 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 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 10 had the best headwind 29% of the time, runway 28 27%, and winds were calm 27% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 60 days a year. 55% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
MGM departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 73% of the time across 1,789 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (86%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (53%).
Fog was reported on about 37 days a year, and fog or mist on 156. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 9% of hours, against 4% in April.

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.

| 10 | 9,020 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
