KUOX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 1 ground stop and 0 ground delay programs for UOX between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 1 day. The reason was other or unspecified. The ground stop lasted about 2 h 45 min.
KUOX reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 262 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 09 had the best headwind 51% of the time, runway 27 49%, and winds were calm 43% 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 71 days a year. 45% of storm hours fall in April, June and July, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 19 days a year, and fog or mist on 149. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 4% in June.
Field elevation is 452 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,245 ft, 1,793 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09 | 5,600 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 27 | 5,600 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
