Weather Briefing
VFRDalhart Municipal Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 11 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Dalhart Municipal Airport
Overview
Dalhart Municipal Airport serves the Texas Panhandle region as a medium-sized airport located at an elevation of 3,991 feet MSL. Situated in the northwest corner of Texas near the borders of New Mexico and Oklahoma, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local community and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with approximately 84.6% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Winds are consistently from the southwest at an average of 9.7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 36 knots. Temperature ranges are significant, spanning from -16°C to 35°C, which can impact aircraft performance and pilot preparation.
Notable Features
Both runways (03/21 and 17/35) are asphalt-surfaced and offer substantial length, with 17/35 providing 6,400 feet of runway. The airport's high elevation and expansive panhandle terrain create potential challenges for density altitude considerations, particularly during warmer months. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect minimal crosswind challenges, with average crosswind components of 4.6 knots on Runway 03/21 and 5.7 knots on Runway 17/35. November, December, and September offer the most consistent VFR conditions, making these months optimal for general aviation operations. Visibility averages 9.5 statute miles, with only 1.8% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles.
