Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 42% of the time, runway 33 27%, and winds were calm 29% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 31 days a year. From December to February KXLL was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 38 days a year. 60% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 1% of the time.

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.
