Weather Briefing

MVFR

Theodore Francis Green State Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (170°) at 8 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 4°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 21 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: Mist.

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 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 Theodore Francis Green State Airport

Overview

Theodore Francis Green State Airport serves as a key aviation facility in Warwick, Rhode Island, located at 41.725038, -71.425668. Situated at an elevation of 55 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the greater Providence metropolitan area. As a large airport, it supports commercial, general aviation, and potentially military operational needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 55 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potentially moderate wind and weather variability. Rhode Island's coastal location can introduce maritime atmospheric conditions that pilots should anticipate, particularly during seasonal transitions. The two asphalt runways offer flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types.

Notable Features

Theodore Francis Green State Airport features two primary runways: Runway 05/23 at 8,700 feet and Runway 16/34 at 6,081 feet, both constructed with asphalt surface. The substantial length of the primary runway (05/23) accommodates a wide range of aircraft categories and operational requirements. Its geographic positioning provides accessibility to the Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts transportation corridors.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind directions, with the two runway orientations (05/23 and 16/34) providing crosswind landing options. The 8,700-foot primary runway offers significant operational flexibility for larger aircraft and provides ample landing and takeoff distances. Pilots should conduct standard preflight wind and weather assessments to determine the most appropriate runway for their specific approach.
