Weather Briefing

VFR

Four Corners Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 5 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 6 to 18 knots. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 03:00Z.

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 Four Corners Regional Airport

Overview

Four Corners Regional Airport serves the Farmington, New Mexico area as a medium-sized airport located at 5,506 feet mean sea level. Situated at coordinates 36.741199, -108.230003, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the Four Corners region, supporting various general aviation and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KFMN are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 92.5% of observations supporting VFR operations. The airport experiences prevailing easterly winds averaging 6.8 knots, with temperatures ranging from -17°C to 33°C. Seasonal visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 9.8 statute miles, with only 1% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 at 6,500 feet and Runway 07/25 at 6,704 feet. Its high elevation of 5,506 feet MSL requires pilots to carefully consider density altitude, especially during warmer months. The surrounding terrain and elevation suggest potential wind and density altitude challenges for aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Both primary runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (4.2 knots for 05/23 and 3 knots for 07/25). September, October, and December offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared for the high-altitude environment when planning arrivals and departures.
