Weather Briefing
VFRElizabeth City Regional Airport & Coast Guard Air Station is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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: Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 15 knots. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Elizabeth City Regional Airport & Coast Guard Air Station
Elizabeth City Regional Airport & Coast Guard Air Station is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the US AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Elizabeth City Regional Airport serves as a joint-use facility for civilian and Coast Guard operations in northeastern North Carolina. Located at an elevation of 11 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the coastal region. Its two runways support a variety of aircraft operations, with Runway 10/28 offering a substantial 7,219-foot concrete surface.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 73.5% of observed weather patterns supporting visual flight rules. Temperature ranges from -8°C to 32°C, creating relatively stable flying conditions throughout the year. The prevailing winds from the north average 9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 36 knots, and calm conditions occurring 9.7% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location near the Outer Banks provides unique geographic characteristics for aviators. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 01/19 experiencing an average 4.9-knot crosswind and Runway 10/28 experiencing a 6.5-knot crosswind. The presence of the Coast Guard Air Station suggests robust aviation infrastructure and potential support services.
Approach Considerations
Winter months (January, November, October) offer the most consistent VFR conditions, with excellent visibility averaging 9.2 statute miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, with 2.1% of observations showing less than 3 SM visibility and 2.9% experiencing fog conditions. The dual-runway configuration provides flexibility for approach and departure scenarios based on prevailing wind conditions.
