Weather Briefing

MVFR

Clovis Municipal Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 6,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 2700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Clovis Municipal Airport

Overview

Clovis Municipal Airport serves the eastern New Mexico region, situated at an elevation of 4,216 feet MSL near the Texas border. The airport provides medium-level aviation infrastructure with three runways accommodating various aircraft operations. Its strategic location supports regional transportation and serves general aviation needs in this high-plains environment.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Clovis Municipal are predominantly VFR, with 89% of observations showing favorable flying conditions. Temperatures range widely from -13°C to 34°C, with an average of 11.2°C, presenting potential temperature-related performance considerations for pilots. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 9.6 knots provide consistent and predictable wind patterns for flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with different surface compositions: two asphalt (04/22 and 12/30) and one gravel (08/26). All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with moderate average crosswind components ranging from 5.2 to 6.9 knots. The high elevation of 4,216 feet MSL suggests potential density altitude considerations during warmer months.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should note the extended runway 04/22 at 6,200 feet, which offers the longest landing surface. Visibility averages 9.7 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of reduced visibility (fog present in only 1.6% of observations). January, September, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for aviation operations at this airport.
