Weather Briefing
VFRMansfield Lahm Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,200 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,200 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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 21 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport
Overview
Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport serves as a significant medium-sized airport located in Mansfield, Ohio, situated at an elevation of 1,297 feet MSL. The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: a 6,795-foot runway (05/23) and a 9,001-foot runway (14/32), providing versatile operational capabilities for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 56.7% of observations reporting VFR conditions and an additional 27.8% showing marginal VFR. The wind profile is characterized by westerly prevailing winds at an average of 9 knots, with temperature ranges from -21°C to 29°C. September, October, and November historically offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runways provide excellent wind coverage, with both 05/23 and 14/32 demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignments. Average crosswind components are relatively mild, measuring 4.9 knots for runway 05/23 and 6.5 knots for runway 14/32. Visibility averages 8.6 statute miles, with only 4.4% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the airport's consistent westerly wind patterns and robust runway infrastructure. With low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (15.4% combined IFR and LIFR), pilots can generally expect good approach visibility. Fog is present in only 2.6% of observations, further supporting consistent operational reliability.
