KTOB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTOB reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 248 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 25% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 10% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 34 30%, and winds were calm 17% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 65 days a year. From December to February KTOB was IFR or worse 20% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 43 days a year. 60% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 58 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and August the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. 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 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.

“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.
