Weather Briefing

LIFR

DuBois Regional Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 300 feet and 2 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 5 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 2 SM. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 24 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 Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.

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.

About DuBois Regional Airport

Overview

DuBois Regional Airport serves the central Pennsylvania region as a medium-sized airport located at an elevation of 1,817 feet MSL. Situated near the city of DuBois, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local community and surrounding rural areas, supporting general aviation and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KDUJ demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 46.7% of the time and marginal VFR conditions occurring 33.6% of the year. Temperature ranges from -22°C to 27°C, with an average of 2.7°C, indicating potential challenging winter operations and temperature-related considerations for pilots. September through November offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (07/25) measuring 5,504 feet in length, oriented to capitalize on the predominant westerly winds. The surrounding terrain and elevation suggest potential wind shear and turbulence considerations, particularly during approach and departure phases. Prevailing winds from 270 degrees average 9.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25 demonstrates 100% wind favorability, with an average crosswind component of just 3.8 knots. Pilots should anticipate visibility averages of 8.2 statute miles, though 6.8% of observations indicate visibility below 3 miles and 5.3% report fog conditions. The relatively low calm wind percentage (8.8%) suggests consistent wind presence that can aid in predictable approach and landing planning.
