Weather Briefing
MVFRJackson Hole Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,400 feet and 4 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 8 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 0°C (32°F) with a dewpoint of -1°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
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: Light Snow, Light Showers Snow. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Snow between 08:00Z and 13:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Snow between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Jackson Hole Airport
Overview
Jackson Hole Airport serves the Jackson Hole valley in western Wyoming, situated at a high elevation of 6,451 feet MSL. The airport supports regional and tourism-related air traffic in a mountainous environment, providing critical transportation access to Grand Teton National Park and surrounding wilderness areas.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KJAC demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 73.2% of observed periods. Temperature ranges from -23°C to 25°C, creating potential challenges for aircraft performance, while prevailing winds from the south average 8.2 knots with occasional gusts up to 31 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation and surrounding mountainous terrain present critical considerations for pilot navigation and aircraft performance. Runway 01/19 is 6,300 feet long with an asphalt surface, and wind conditions are favorable for this runway orientation 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of only 3.1 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate generally stable approach conditions, with excellent visibility averaging 9 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (0.4%). September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months, offering the most predictable flying conditions for arrivals and departures at this alpine airport.
