Current pilot readout for KMOP
KMOP is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 150 ft (field elevation 755 ft). KMOP does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KMBS, about 29 nm away.
KMOP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMOP reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 235 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% 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 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 33% of the time, runway 27 31%, and winds were calm 25% 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 77 days a year. From December to February KMOP was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 56 days a year, and fog or mist on 158. September and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 12% of hours, against 3% in April.
Gusts showed up in 16% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 51 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 6 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05 | 2,502 ft | GRS | - | - |
| 09 | 5,000 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 23 | 2,502 ft | GRS | - | - |

“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.
