Weather Briefing
VFRHunt Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 9,000 feet and 6 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 15 knots with gusts to 21 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 14-knot crosswind component (gusting to 20 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 SM. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 20 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 01:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Hunt Field
Overview
Hunt Field serves the Lander, Wyoming region as a medium airport situated at a high elevation of 5,586 feet MSL. Located at coordinates 42.815201, -108.730003, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for central Wyoming, supporting regional transportation and local aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 92.9% of observations reporting visual flight rules. The airport experiences west-prevailing winds averaging 7.4 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 51 knots. Temperature ranges from -15°C to 31°C, creating variable seasonal flying conditions with the most favorable VFR months being September, October, and November.
Notable Features
The single runway 03/21 is 5,000 feet long with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. The high elevation of 5,586 feet MSL presents performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer temperatures and with higher density altitude conditions. Wind patterns show a calm frequency of 21.1%, indicating potential for variable wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 4.7 knots. Typical visibility averages 9.8 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility (below 3SM in only 0.8% of observations). Pilots should anticipate west-prevailing winds and plan approaches accordingly.
