Weather Briefing
MVFRJoslin Field Magic Valley Regional Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,400 feet and 4 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 6 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 8°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Smoke.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Joslin Field Magic Valley Regional Airport
Overview
Joslin Field Magic Valley Regional Airport serves Twin Falls, Idaho, situated at 4,154 feet mean sea level. As a medium-sized regional airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for south-central Idaho, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations with two paved runways.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly visual flight rules (VFR) conditions, with 81.5% of observations in VFR status. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -9°C to 29°C, which pilots should anticipate when planning flights. Prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 8.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 42 knots.
Notable Features
Located at 42.481800, -114.487999, the airport features two asphalt runways: a shorter 3,224-foot runway (12/30) and a substantial 8,703-foot runway (8/26). The elevated terrain at 4,154 feet MSL requires careful performance calculations, particularly during temperature extremes. Wind conditions favor Runway 12/30, with 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of 6.2 knots.
Approach Considerations
September, December, and October represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with only 2% of observations below 3 statute miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility conditions, with fog present in 4.1% of observations and potential marginal VFR or IFR transitions.
