Current pilot readout for KORG
KORG is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 5,000 ft ceiling. Density altitude is approximately 500 ft (field elevation 13 ft). KORG does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KBPT, about 14 nm away.
KORG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KORG reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 248 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 24% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 52% of the time, runway 04 48%, and winds were calm 32% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 94 days a year. 49% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 6% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 59 days a year, and fog or mist on 200. February and March are the foggiest months, with fog in 15% of hours, against 6% in June.
Field elevation is 13 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,911 ft, 1,898 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 48 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and September 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 |

“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.
