Weather Briefing
MVFRKodiak Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,400 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 8 knots with gusts to 17 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 9 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 2400 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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: Light Rain, Mist. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kodiak Airport
Overview
Kodiak Airport serves the city of Kodiak on Kodiak Island, Alaska, functioning as a critical transportation hub for this remote coastal region. The medium-sized airport supports commercial, cargo, and general aviation operations at an elevation of 78 feet mean sea level. Its strategic location provides essential air connectivity for the Kodiak archipelago.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 58.8% of observations showing clear weather and another 30.8% in Marginal VFR conditions. The airport experiences significant wind variability, with prevailing northwest winds averaging 10.2 knots and occasional gusts up to 42 knots. Temperature ranges from -13°C to 17°C, presenting potential winter icing and summer thermal considerations.
Notable Features
The airport features three asphalt runways with substantial lengths, offering multiple landing options. Runway 07/25 provides the longest surface at 7,542 feet, while the two shorter runways (11/29 and 18/36) offer 5,399 and 5,013 feet respectively. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, which provides consistent operational flexibility for different wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Wind analysis indicates northwest winds (315°) as the predominant pattern, with calm conditions occurring 8.3% of the time. Average crosswinds range from 3.5 to 8.3 knots across runways, with minimal directional challenges. October, November, and December represent the best months for consistent VFR flying conditions, offering pilots the most predictable weather environment.
