Weather Briefing
IFRKenosha Regional Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,600 feet and 2.04 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 15 knots with gusts to 29 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component (gusting to 10 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2.04 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 3600 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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 22 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Heavy Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 9 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 20:00Z and 22:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Kenosha Regional Airport
Overview
Kenosha Regional Airport serves southeastern Wisconsin as a medium-sized airport located near the city of Kenosha. Situated at 742 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with three concrete runways accommodating various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 77.7% of the time, with moderate visibility averaging 28.8 statute miles. Temperature ranges from -21°C to 31°C, with western winds prevailing at an average of 9.1 knots, creating generally stable flight conditions. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with different orientations, providing flexibility for wind conditions and aircraft types. Runway 07L/25R is the longest at 6,600 feet of concrete surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff options. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment with minimal average crosswind between 5-6.3 knots.
Approach Considerations
With consistent western prevailing winds, pilots can anticipate predictable approach conditions across all runways. The long primary runway (07L/25R) provides optimal landing opportunities, particularly during winds matching its orientation. Low IFR conditions occur infrequently at only 6.3% of observations, suggesting generally reliable visual approach potential.
