KPNE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPNE reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 280 flyable days a year. July 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 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 33 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 24 29%, and winds were calm 20% 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 18 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KPNE was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 20 days a year. 77% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 120 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,716 ft, 1,596 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 15% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 59 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 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 |

“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.
