KSHV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for SHV in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from SHV's own airspace.
KSHV reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 276 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 14% 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 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 14 had the best headwind 42% of the time, runway 06 20%, and winds were calm 19% 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 61 days a year. 44% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in April when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
SHV departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 79% of the time across 6,188 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (86%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (65%).
Fog was reported on about 39 days a year, and fog or mist on 119. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against 2% in August.
Sources: FAA ATCSCC advisories, hourly observations 2006 to 2025, the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025 and BTS airline on-time data. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is variable at 5 kt: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

“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.
