Weather Briefing
VFRNew York Stewart International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,000 feet and 7 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the variable directions at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 SM. The ceiling is 6000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 00:00Z and 02:00Z.
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. 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 New York Stewart International Airport
Overview
New York Stewart International Airport serves the Newburgh region, positioned strategically in New York's Hudson Valley at 491 feet mean sea level. As a medium airport with two substantial asphalt runways, Stewart provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northeastern United States. The airport's location and dual runway configuration support diverse aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Stewart experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 82.5% of observations indicating favorable visual flight rules. Westerly winds dominate at 270 degrees with an average speed of 9.7 knots, though wind speeds can occasionally reach up to 94 knots. Temperature variation is significant, ranging from -17°C to 29°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 09/27 at 11,818 feet and Runway 16/34 at 6,006 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.3 knots and 7.2 knots respectively. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning in the Hudson Valley contribute to its unique meteorological characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent wind conditions for both runways, with consistent favorable wind alignments. September, November, and January represent the best months for VFR operations, based on historical meteorological data. Visibility averages 8.8 statute miles, with only 2.5% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence at 1.4%.
