Weather Briefing
IFRVenango Regional Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 600 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 7 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 09:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 19:00Z and 00:00Z.
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 Venango Regional Airport
Overview
Venango Regional Airport serves Franklin, Pennsylvania as a medium-sized airport situated at 1540 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 41.377899, -79.860397, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northwestern Pennsylvania region. Its two asphalt runways offer flexibility for various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Venango Regional demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 52.8% of observations. Marginal VFR occurs 26.2% of the time, while instrument conditions (IFR and LIFR) combine for approximately 21% of recorded weather. Temperature ranges from -22°C to 29°C, with an average of 4.6°C, indicating substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 03/21 at 5200 feet and Runway 12/30 at 3698 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Prevailing winds consistently blow from the west (270°) at an average speed of 7.6 knots, with maximum recorded winds reaching 25 knots. Wind conditions are calm 12.6% of the time, which can impact flight planning and operations.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% wind favorability, with minimal average crosswind components (4.7kt for 03/21 and 5kt for 12/30). Visibility averages 8.3 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions below 3 miles occurring 5.6% of the time and fog present in 4.9% of observations. September, October, and November represent the most consistent months for visual flight conditions.
