Current pilot readout for KVCB
KVCB is currently VFR with variable winds at 6 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 550 ft (field elevation 117 ft). KVCB does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KSUU, about 7 nm away.
KVCB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KVCB reported VFR in 92% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 312 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 3% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 72% of the time, runway 02 28%, and winds were calm 34% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 15 days a year, and fog or mist on 72. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 22% of hours, against 0% in July.
Field elevation is 117 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,254 ft, 2,137 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 51 kt. May is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and November 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 variable at 6 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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 02 | 4,700 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 20 | 4,700 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.
