KMWO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMWO reported VFR in 78% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 256 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December 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 4% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 26 27%, and winds were calm 32% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 51 days a year. From December to February KMWO was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 48 days a year, and fog or mist on 188. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 12% of hours, against 4% in April.
Field elevation is 651 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,242 ft, 1,591 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 11% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 7 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 | 6,100 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 08 | 3,026 ft | GRE | - | - |
| 23 | 6,100 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.
