Weather Briefing
MVFRBurley Municipal Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,400 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 20 knots with gusts to 30 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 19-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component (gusting to 10 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 2800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 1°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
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. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 14:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.

About Burley Municipal Airport
Overview
Burley Municipal Airport serves the aviation needs of south-central Idaho, located near the city of Burley in Cassia County. Situated at an elevation of 4,150 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical infrastructure for general aviation in the region. The airport features two asphalt runways that support various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Burley Municipal Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 83% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Winds are consistently from the west at an average of 7.9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 27 knots. Seasonal temperature variations range from -8°C to 30°C, with September, October, and December offering the most stable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's two parallel runways (02/20 and 06/24) both measure approximately 4,100 feet in length, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components of 4.9 and 3.4 knots respectively. The high-elevation location at 4,150 feet MSL requires pilots to consider density altitude effects, particularly during warmer months.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently predictable wind conditions, with westerly winds dominating 81% of observations. Visibility averages 9.5 statute miles, with only 1.5% of observations showing reduced visibility below 3 miles. Calm wind conditions occur approximately 19% of the time, allowing for flexible runway selection during approach and departure.
