Weather Briefing
LIFRTimmins/Victor M. Power is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 300 feet and 5 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 SM. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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 12 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 Showers Rain, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 02:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with FCST between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Timmins/Victor M. Power
Overview
Timmins/Victor M. Power Airport serves the northeastern Ontario region, located in the city of Timmins at an elevation of 967 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for transportation, resource industry support, and regional connectivity in a challenging northern Canadian environment.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at CYTS demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.1% of the time. Winter temperatures can drop to -36°C, while summer peaks at 28°C, creating dynamic seasonal flying challenges. Wind patterns are predominantly southerly at an average of 7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 24 knots that pilots must anticipate.
Notable Features
Both runways (03/21 and 10/28) are asphalt-surfaced with substantial lengths of 6000 and 4903 feet respectively. The airport experiences diverse meteorological conditions, including reduced visibility events, with observations showing below 3-mile visibility in 5.8% of recorded conditions and fog present 2.9% of the time. September, October, and January offer the most consistently favorable VFR flying conditions.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (4.9 knots for 03/21 and 4.5 knots for 10/28). Pilots should be prepared for potential instrument meteorological conditions, as IFR and MVFR conditions combine to represent 47.5% of observed weather patterns. The airport's moderate crosswind characteristics and substantial runway lengths provide flexibility for most aircraft operations.
