When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 14 had the best headwind 39% of the time, runway 20 25%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 57 days a year. 46% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
SGF departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 79% of the time across 8,731 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (90%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (64%).
