Weather Briefing

MVFR

Bremerton National Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,100 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 7 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 2100 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Bremerton National Airport

Overview

Bremerton National Airport serves the Bremerton, Washington region as a medium-sized airport located at 444 feet above mean sea level. Situated at coordinates 47.490200, -122.764999, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Puget Sound area, supporting various general aviation and potentially regional transport operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Bremerton National demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions occurring 47.9% of the time. Instrument meteorological conditions (MVFR, IFR, LIFR) collectively represent 52.1% of observations, indicating challenging flying conditions nearly half the time. The airport experiences prevailing southerly winds averaging 7.5 knots, with temperatures ranging from -4°C to 32°C and typical visibility around 8.7 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 02/20 at 6,000 feet and Runway 16/34 at 5,122 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with Runway 02/20 experiencing minimal average crosswind of 1.9 knots and Runway 16/34 showing a slightly higher average crosswind of 5.4 knots. Calm wind conditions occur 34.1% of the time, providing consistent operational flexibility.

Approach Considerations

September, October, and January represent the most favorable months for visual flight conditions at Bremerton National Airport. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility, with 4.6% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles and 7.3% of observations reporting fog. The relatively low average crosswind on both runways suggests predictable approach and landing characteristics for most wind conditions.
