Weather Briefing
MVFRWilliamsport Regional Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,700 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (90°) at 5 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z.
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 Williamsport Regional Airport
Overview
Williamsport Regional Airport serves the north-central Pennsylvania region, located in Lycoming County near the city of Williamsport. As a medium-sized airport situated at 529 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for both general aviation and regional transportation needs in a terrain-rich mountainous area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 70.8% of the time, with marginal VFR occurring 18.5% of observations. Temperature ranges from -17°C to 31°C, creating diverse seasonal flying environments. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 7.6 knots with occasional gusts up to 27 knots characterize the local wind patterns, with calm conditions occurring 28.7% of the time.
Notable Features
Located at coordinates 41.242126, -76.922450, the airport features two asphalt runways: 09/27 at 6,474 feet and 12/30 at 4,280 feet. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and minimal average crosswind conditions (2.8kt for 09/27, 3.9kt for 12/30). The surrounding terrain suggests potential for localized wind variability typical of mountainous regions.
Approach Considerations
October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 8.9 statute miles, with only 3.1% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during the 1.8% of observations with fog, particularly during seasonal transitions.
