KUTS by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KUTS reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 269 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 69% of the time, runway 36 31%, and winds were calm 39% 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 67 days a year. 42% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 28 days a year, and fog or mist on 145. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 3% in July.
Field elevation is 363 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,605 ft, 2,242 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 12% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 58 kt. February is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and September 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | 5,005 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.
