Weather Briefing
MVFRVictoria Regional Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,300 feet and 8 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 13 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 SM. The ceiling is 2300 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Victoria Regional Airport
Overview
Victoria Regional Airport serves the Gulf Coast region of Texas, located near the city of Victoria. As a medium-sized airport with four runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area, supporting both general aviation and commercial operations. The airport's elevation of 115 feet MSL and strategic location make it an important transportation hub for the region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Victoria Regional Airport predominantly support visual flight rules (VFR), with 71.1% of observations in VFR conditions. Pilots can expect southeast winds averaging 7.1 knots, with temperatures ranging from -4°C to 36°C. Seasonal variations show optimal VFR conditions in September, October, and January, while fog occurs in 9.2% of observations and visibility drops below 3 statute miles in 3.6% of reports.
Notable Features
The airport features four distinct runways with varying lengths and surface types, providing flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Runway 12L/30R is the longest at 9,101 feet with a PEM (presumably Portland Cement) surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff options. The varied runway configurations allow for multiple approach angles and wind mitigation strategies.
Approach Considerations
Prevailing southeast winds at 135 degrees suggest that runways 12L/30R and 12R/30L are most frequently aligned with typical wind conditions. All four runways demonstrate favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 3.4 to 5.5 knots. Pilots should anticipate consistent wind patterns and prepare for approach strategies that leverage the airport's multiple runway options.
