Weather Briefing
VFRMiley Memorial Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 5 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -3°C (27°F) with a dewpoint of -3°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Showers SNRA. Winds are forecast to reach up to 30 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 30 knots. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 22:00Z and 00:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers SNRA between 02:00Z and 04:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Miley Memorial Field
Overview
Miley Memorial Field serves Big Piney, Wyoming as a medium-sized airport situated at a high elevation of 6,990 feet MSL. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in a remote mountain region, supporting local transportation needs with two runways accommodating different aircraft types and operational requirements.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 88.8% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. The airport experiences significant temperature variation, ranging from -19°C to 26°C, with an average temperature of 1.4°C. September through November offer the most consistent VFR weather, with relatively stable wind conditions averaging 7.3 knots from a northerly direction.
Notable Features
Located at a high elevation of 6,990 feet, Miley Memorial Field presents unique challenges for aircraft performance and altitude-related operations. The airport features two distinct runways: a 3,300-foot grass runway (08/26) and a longer 6,803-foot asphalt runway (13/31), providing flexibility for different aircraft types and operational needs. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Wind data indicates northerly prevailing winds with 21.3% calm periods, which allows pilots flexibility in runway selection. The 13/31 runway, being longer and paved, is likely preferred for most aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared for high-altitude airport characteristics, with careful attention to aircraft performance calculations given the elevation and temperature ranges.
