Weather Briefing
MVFRMoose Jaw Air Vice Marshal C. M. McEwen Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,000 feet. Note: This observation is 4.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 31 knots with gusts to 47 knots. The significant gust spread of 16 knots may cause challenging turbulence on approach. Runway 29 is favored with a 31-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 11 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, Light Showers Rain, Mist, Light Rain, Mist, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 35 knots during the period. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 19:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. 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 Moose Jaw Air Vice Marshal C. M. McEwen Airport
Overview
Moose Jaw Air Vice Marshal C. M. McEwen Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in Saskatchewan, Canada, at an elevation of 1,892 feet MSL. The airport is situated near the city of Moose Jaw, offering strategic aviation infrastructure with three paved runways ranging from 3,400 to 8,326 feet in length. Its configuration supports diverse aviation operations, including military and civilian traffic.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at CYMJ demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 69.5% of the time. Pilots can expect northwest winds averaging 11.2 knots, with temperatures ranging from -35°C to 32°C. The airport experiences the most stable VFR conditions during September, October, and November, with visibility typically around 12.3 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features three asphalt runways with favorable wind alignments, each allowing 100% wind compatibility. All runways experience relatively moderate crosswind conditions, with average crosswinds between 4.9 and 9.1 knots. The substantial runway lengths, particularly the 8,326-foot 11L/29R, accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate predominantly northwest winds when planning approaches, with calm conditions occurring only 3.4% of the time. All three runways demonstrate excellent wind characteristics, minimizing potential crosswind challenges. The comprehensive runway system allows flexible approach options, with instrument meteorological conditions (IFR and LIFR) occurring in approximately 13.3% of observations.
