Weather Briefing
LIFRDevils Lake Regional Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,500 feet and 0.302 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 14 knots with gusts to 18 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.302 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 6500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 20 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain.
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 Devils Lake Regional Airport
Overview
Devils Lake Regional Airport serves the northeastern North Dakota region, located in the city of Devils Lake. Situated at an elevation of 1,456 feet MSL, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for a rural area characterized by agricultural and regional connectivity. The airport features two asphalt runways capable of supporting a variety of general aviation and regional aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Devils Lake exhibit significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 56% of the time. Winter months present challenging conditions, with temperatures ranging from -31°C to 28°C and potential restricted visibility. Pilots should anticipate westerly winds averaging 11.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 35 knots and calm periods occurring 5.9% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's two runways provide operational flexibility with complementary orientations. Runway 03/21 measures 4,313 feet and Runway 13/31 extends 5,509 feet, both offering 100% favorable wind conditions. The geographic location in northeastern North Dakota suggests potential for rapidly changing weather conditions, particularly during transitional seasons.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate consistent wind compatibility, with average crosswind components of 8.3 knots for Runway 03/21 and 5.9 knots for Runway 13/31. Pilots should expect most favorable VFR conditions during autumn months (September, October, November), with visibility typically averaging 8.9 statute miles. Awareness of potential fog (occurring 3% of observations) and periods of reduced visibility is recommended.
