Weather Briefing
MVFRCox Field is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,200 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 6 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 2400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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 Cox Field
Overview
Cox Field is a medium airport located in Paris, Texas, serving the northeastern region of the state. Situated at an elevation of 547 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area with three concrete and asphalt runways accommodating various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at Cox Field, with 71.5% of observations indicating clear flying weather. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -9°C to 35°C, with an average of 15.2°C. Visibility is generally excellent, averaging 9.3 statute miles, though pilots should be aware of occasional reduced visibility periods affecting 2.5% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways: two 4,624-foot concrete runways (03/21 and 14/32) and one 6,002-foot asphalt runway (17/35). Prevailing winds are from the south at 180 degrees, with an average speed of 7.7 knots and occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Calm wind conditions occur 7.9% of the time.
Approach Considerations
All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 4 to 4.9 knots. September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions for pilots. Approach planning should consider the potential for occasional fog and reduced visibility, which affects approximately 2.1% of observations.
