Weather Briefing
VFREvanston-Uinta County Airport-Burns Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 12 knots with gusts to 21 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 12-knot crosswind component (gusting to 21 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C, indicating very dry 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 21 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 02:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Evanston-Uinta County Airport-Burns Field
Overview
Evanston-Uinta County Airport-Burns Field serves the Evanston area in Wyoming, situated at a high elevation of 7,143 feet MSL. This medium-sized airport features two parallel runways (05/23 and 05R/23L), each 7,300 feet long with an asphalt surface. The airport's strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation and emergency service needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly visual flight conditions, with 80.8% of observations reporting VFR weather. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variation, ranging from -15°C to 26°C, with an average temperature of 3.3°C. Wind patterns are primarily southwestern, averaging 9.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 39 knots and calm conditions occurring 6.4% of the time.
Notable Features
The high elevation of 7,143 feet MSL presents performance considerations for aircraft operations, particularly during warmer temperatures. Visibility is generally excellent, with an average of 9.5 statute miles, though fog can occur in 4.5% of observations. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced performance and increased density altitude effects, especially during summer months.
Approach Considerations
Both runways 05/23 and 05R/23L offer 100% favorable wind alignment and minimal average crosswind at 3.4 knots. September, October, and November provide the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges during winter months, when IFR and LIFR conditions combine to account for nearly 9% of observations.
