Current pilot readout for KMWC
KMWC is currently VFR with winds from 120° at 6 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. the wind favors southeast-facing runway ends (15L, 15R). Density altitude is approximately 450 ft (field elevation 745 ft). KMWC does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KUES, about 10 nm away.
KMWC by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMWC reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 234 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 low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the southwest-facing ends (22L, 22R) had the best headwind 35% of the time, the northwest-facing ends (33L, 33R) 27%, and winds were calm 19% 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 49 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 1. From December to February KMWC was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 21 days a year, and fog or mist on 107. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 2% in July.
Gusts showed up in 21% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 60 kt. February is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.

“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.
