KPRS by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPRS reported VFR in 98% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 355 flyable days a year. May is the most reliable month and November the least, with IFR or worse under 1% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft under 1% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles under 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 35 had the best headwind 71% of the time, runway 17 29%, and winds were calm 20% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 58 days a year. 70% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 18% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 56 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and December 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.
