Weather Briefing
VFRSoutheast Iowa Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 15 knots with gusts to 22 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component (gusting to 14 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 27°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 23 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Haze. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 21:00Z 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 Southeast Iowa Regional Airport
Overview
Southeast Iowa Regional Airport serves the Burlington metropolitan area in southeastern Iowa, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Located at an elevation of 698 feet MSL, the airport offers two substantial runways accommodating various aircraft types and operational needs. Its strategic position and medium-sized facility make it an important transportation hub for commercial, general aviation, and potential regional connectivity.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 71.2% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Northwest winds prevail at an average of 7.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature ranges from -23°C to 36°C suggest significant seasonal variation, while average visibility remains excellent at 9 statute miles, with only 3% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage for their respective orientations. Runway 12/30 measures 5,350 feet of concrete surface, while Runway 18/36 provides a longer 6,702-foot paved option. The airport experiences calm wind conditions 10.8% of the time, which pilots should consider during planning and approach strategies.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and January represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions. Average crosswind components remain minimal at 4.6-4.7 knots across both runways, providing predictable landing and takeoff environments. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during the 4.8% of observations with fog, and be prepared for IFR conditions during approximately 11.6% of recorded weather events.
