Weather Briefing
MVFRArnold Palmer Regional Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
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, Mist, Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 01:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.

About Arnold Palmer Regional Airport
Overview
Arnold Palmer Regional Airport serves the Latrobe, Pennsylvania region as a medium-sized airport positioned at 1,199 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 40.275902, -79.404800, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for southwestern Pennsylvania, offering two substantial asphalt runways that support diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KLBE demonstrate predominantly favorable flying environments, with 71.5% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Pilots can expect significant wind variability from the southwest (225°) averaging 9.5 knots, though calm conditions occur 36% of the time. Temperature ranges from -17°C to 29°C create potential for moderate seasonal weather challenges.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 3/21 at 3,596 feet and Runway 6/24 at 8,222 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types and operational requirements. Situated in a region with moderate terrain, the airport's elevation of 1,199 feet MSL offers relatively stable approach and departure conditions compared to more mountainous areas.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing southwest winds, Runway 24 may offer more favorable approach conditions for many aircraft. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with only 2.4% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles. September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, presenting optimal conditions for general aviation and commercial operations.
