Weather Briefing
LIFRAnderson Regional Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 100 feet.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is very low at 100 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 20 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: Mist, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 10:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

Located at coordinates 34.494598, -82.709396, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting various general aviation and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at 75.8% of observation periods, with moderate chances of MVFR at 12%. Weather data indicates a western prevailing wind at 270° with an average speed of 6.9 knots, and temperatures ranging from -8°C to 32°C. October, September, and November represent the most favorable VFR months, offering the most consistent flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 at 6,002 feet and Runway 17/35 at 4,995 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind interference (2.9kt for 05/23 and 5.7kt for 17/35). Visibility averages 9.1 statute miles, with infrequent restrictions, as only 2.8% of observations show visibility below 3 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Wind conditions strongly favor both primary runways, allowing flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate calm wind conditions approximately 29.9% of the time. During approach, be prepared for potential reduced visibility scenarios, as fog occurs in 4.9% of observations, though this remains a relatively low occurrence.
