Weather Briefing
VFRMobile Downtown Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 5 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 6000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 20:00Z and 01:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Mobile Downtown Airport
Overview
Mobile Downtown Airport serves the Mobile metropolitan area in Alabama, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Situated at a low elevation of 26 feet MSL, the airport offers two substantial runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations. Its strategic location and medium-sized classification make it an important transportation hub for commercial, private, and potentially regional aviation activities.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with VFR conditions present 78.1% of the time. The airport experiences mild temperature variations, ranging from -3°C to 33°C, with an average of 17.3°C. September through November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions with high visibility and stable atmospheric conditions. Wind patterns are generally light, with a prevailing northerly direction and an average speed of 6.8 knots.
Notable Features
Both runways (14/32 and 18/36) are constructed with pavement (PEM) and offer extensive lengths of 9,618 and 7,800 feet respectively. Wind conditions are remarkably favorable, with 100% wind compatibility for both runway orientations. The airport demonstrates low frequency of adverse weather, with IFR conditions occurring only 6% of the time and LIFR conditions present in just 4.6% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Crosswind conditions are minimal, averaging 3.7 knots for runway 14/32 and 3.4 knots for runway 18/36, providing comfortable approach and landing scenarios. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with only 2.3% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional fog, which occurs in 6.9% of observations, and plan accordingly during approach and landing phases.
