Weather Briefing
VFRLaramie Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 9,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 23 knots with gusts to 30 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 18-knot headwind and 15-knot crosswind component (gusting to 19 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 9,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of -11°C, indicating very dry conditions.
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. Winds are forecast to reach up to 32 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 12 to 32 knots.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. 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 Laramie Regional Airport
Overview
Laramie Regional Airport serves the city of Laramie, Wyoming, situated at a high elevation of 7,284 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 8,500-foot runway (03/21) and a secondary 6,300-foot runway (12/30), supporting various aviation operations in southeastern Wyoming.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 88.7% of the time, with southwest winds averaging 12.2 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -22°C to 28°C, which can impact aircraft performance at the high-altitude airport. October, November, and September offer the most consistently favorable flying weather.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 7,284 feet requires careful performance calculations and consideration of density altitude effects. Crosswind components are moderate, with average crosswinds of 7.5 knots on Runway 03/21 and 8.4 knots on Runway 12/30. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages 9.6 statute miles, with only 1.5% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional fog (1.2% of observations) and potential wind shifts, with maximum recorded wind speeds reaching 46 knots. The southwest prevailing winds typically favor both runway configurations.
