Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 2°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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: Mist.
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 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 Cape Cod Gateway Airport
Overview
Cape Cod Gateway Airport serves Hyannis, Massachusetts, providing critical air transportation infrastructure for the Cape Cod region. Located at 41.669300, -70.280403 with an elevation of 54 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport supports regional and local aviation operations with two asphalt runways capable of handling various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KHYA demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing approximately 69.1% of the time. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 9.1 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 29 knots. Temperature ranges from -14°C to 26°C suggest potential challenges in both winter and summer operations, with November, September, and October offering the most consistent VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 06/24 at 5,425 feet and 15/33 at 5,252 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 5.2 and 6.4 knots respectively. Visibility typically exceeds 9 statute miles, with limited instances of reduced visibility (below 3SM occurring in 3.7% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent westerly wind pattern, pilots should anticipate approaching primarily on runways aligned with the prevailing wind direction. The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for rapid weather changes, particularly fog events which occur in 2.7% of observations. Careful preflight planning and continuous weather monitoring are recommended for safe operations at Cape Cod Gateway Airport.
