Weather Briefing
VFRJacksonville International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 11,000 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 8 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 11000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 23 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: Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain, Mist between 13:00Z and 17:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Jacksonville International Airport
Overview
Jacksonville International Airport serves as a primary commercial and cargo aviation hub for northeast Florida. Located in Duval County, the airport handles significant passenger and freight traffic for the Jacksonville metropolitan area. Its strategic position and substantial runway infrastructure make it a key transportation facility in the southeastern United States.
Flying Conditions
Jacksonville's coastal location produces variable weather conditions typical of subtropical maritime climates, with potential for sudden meteorological changes. The airport's relatively low elevation of 30 ft MSL means minimal terrain-induced turbulence, but proximity to the Atlantic coast can introduce marine layer conditions and occasional crosswind challenges. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
Notable Features
The airport features two substantial concrete runways: Runway 08/26 at 10,000 feet and Runway 14/32 at 7,701 feet, providing significant operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types. Its geographical coordinates (30.492469, -81.687813) situate the airport in a region with generally stable atmospheric conditions but potential for rapid weather development due to coastal proximity. The runway configuration allows for efficient operations under varying wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Given the airport's two parallel and perpendicular runways, pilots have multiple approach options depending on prevailing wind vectors. Runway 08/26's longer length provides advantages for larger aircraft and offers more landing tolerance. The 30 ft mean sea level elevation suggests minimal altitude-related approach complexities, though standard instrument approach procedures should be carefully reviewed prior to operation.
