Weather Briefing

IFR

Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 5 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 22 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 Rain, Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 14:00Z and 16:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

About Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport

Overview

Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport serves the Jacksonville metropolitan area in northeast Florida as a medium-sized airport. Located at coordinates 30.336300, -81.514397 with an elevation of 41 feet MSL, the airport provides critical general aviation infrastructure for the region. It features two asphalt runways capable of supporting a variety of aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KCRG are predominantly favorable for flying, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 77.1% of the time. The airport experiences mild temperature variations, ranging from -4°C to 33°C, with an average of 17.3°C. Wind patterns are typically from the north at an average of 7.4 knots, with calm conditions occurring 30.1% of the time, which contributes to stable flying environments.

Notable Features

Both runways (05/23 and 14/32) are nearly identical in length, measuring approximately 4,000 feet of asphalt surface. The airport's low elevation and coastal proximity suggest relatively flat terrain typical of northeast Florida. Visibility averages 9.1 statute miles, with occasional reduced visibility periods affecting less than 5% of observations.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect highly favorable wind conditions, with both runways showing 100% wind compatibility. Runway 05/23 presents an average crosswind of 4.2 knots, while runway 14/32 has a slightly higher average crosswind of 5 knots. October, November, and September represent the most consistently good VFR flying months, offering optimal approach conditions.
