Weather Briefing

MVFR

General Servando Canales International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,500 feet and 8 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 8 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 11 knots with gusts to 21 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 4 knots crosswind).

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 SM. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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: Haze. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Haze between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.

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 General Servando Canales International Airport

Overview

General Servando Canales International Airport serves Matamoros, Mexico as a medium-sized regional airport situated at 25 ft mean sea level. Located at coordinates 25.769899, -97.525299, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern Mexican border region. Its single runway 15/33 spans 7,546 feet with an asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly visual flight rule (VFR) conditions, with 60.2% of observations supporting VFR operations and 35% in marginal VFR status. Winds consistently blow from the southeast at an average of 8.1 knots, with occasional peaks up to 24 knots and calm periods during 7.6% of observations. Temperature ranges from 4°C to 35°C, with an average of 24.9°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's low elevation of 25 ft MSL suggests a flat terrain characteristic of the border region between Mexico and Texas. Visibility averages 8.7 statute miles, with infrequent restrictions, as only 2.7% of observations show visibility below 3 miles and 2.4% report fog conditions. January, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for aviation operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33 offers consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 3.9 knots. Pilots can expect relatively straightforward approach and departure scenarios, with minimal wind-related complications. The combination of stable weather patterns and a substantial 7,546-foot runway provides flexible operational capabilities for most aircraft types.
