Weather Briefing
LIFRRichard B Russell Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 400 feet and 7 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 SM. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Richard B Russell Airport
Overview
Richard B Russell Airport serves the Rome, Georgia area as a medium-sized airport situated at 644 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 34.350601, -85.157997, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northwest Georgia region with three paved runways offering multiple landing options.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 73.7% of METAR reports showing VFR conditions. Temperature ranges from -7°C to 36°C, creating diverse seasonal flying environments. Wind patterns are characterized by northerly prevailing winds averaging 5.7 knots, with calm conditions occurring 45.2% of the time and maximum wind speeds reaching 24 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features three asphalt runways with varying lengths: 01/19 at 6000 feet, 07/25 at 4497 feet, and 14/32 at 3596 feet. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components ranging between 3.2 and 4.2 knots. September through November represent the most consistent VFR months for aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent visibility conditions, with an average visibility of 9.5 statute miles and only 1.5% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles. Minimal fog occurrence (1.4%) and high percentage of VFR conditions suggest generally reliable approach and landing environments. The multiple runway configurations provide flexibility for approaching aircraft based on current wind conditions.
