Weather Briefing
MVFRSt. Anthony Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,700 feet and 4 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 18 knots with gusts to 24 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 16-knot crosswind component (gusting to 21 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1900 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -6°C (21°F) with a dewpoint of -7°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 8 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Freezing Rain, Mist, Light SNPL, Mist, FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light SNPL, Mist between 00:00Z and 08:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About St. Anthony Airport
Overview
St. Anthony Airport serves the St. Anthony region in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, positioned at coordinates 51.391909, -56.083210. Located at an elevation of 108 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at St. Anthony Airport demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions occurring 40% of the time and marginal VFR conditions present 34.6% of observations. Temperature ranges from -21°C to 22°C, with an average of 0.2°C, suggesting pilots should be prepared for potential winter weather challenges. Visibility averages 7.4 statute miles, with September through November offering the most consistently favorable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 4,000 feet with an asphalt surface. Prevailing westerly winds at 270° have an average speed of 13.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 47 knots. Wind patterns are remarkably consistent, with the runway experiencing favorable wind alignment 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of 8.8 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate westerly wind conditions when planning approaches, with Runway 10/28 offering consistent wind alignment. Instrument meteorological conditions occur in 25.4% of observations (IFR and LIFR combined), suggesting the importance of being prepared for potential instrument approaches. The relatively stable wind patterns and moderate runway length provide predictable approach conditions for most aircraft operations.
