Weather Briefing
MVFREast Texas Regional Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,900 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the variable directions at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 East Texas Regional Airport
Overview
East Texas Regional Airport serves the Longview metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport located in eastern Texas. Situated at 365 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 32.383999, -94.711502, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its two substantial runways support diverse aviation operations, with the primary runway 13/31 offering an impressive 10,000-foot asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable flying conditions, with VFR conditions present 72.6% of the time. The airport experiences mild temperature variations, averaging 16.2°C with a range from -6°C to 35°C. September through November offer the most consistent VFR weather, while wind conditions are generally moderate, with a prevailing southerly wind at an average of 6.7 knots and calm periods occurring 22.6% of the time.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage for both 13/31 and 18/36. The primary runway 13/31 features minimal average crosswind at 4.3 knots, while runway 18/36 shows an even lower 3.3-knot average crosswind. Visibility remains strong, with an average of 9.8 statute miles and infrequent low visibility events (below 3SM occurring only 1.3% of the time).
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing southerly winds, pilots should anticipate potential approaches on the south-facing runways. The extensive 10,000-foot primary runway provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Minimal fog (1% occurrence) and consistently good visibility make this airport relatively predictable for instrument and visual approaches.
