Weather Briefing
VFRWaco Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 10 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 21 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Waco Regional Airport
Overview
Waco Regional Airport serves central Texas as a medium-sized airport located in Waco. Situated at an elevation of 516 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for McLennan County and surrounding regions. Its two asphalt runways offer substantial capacity for various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 86.2% of observations showing clear flying weather. Prevailing winds from the south at an average of 7.9 knots create generally stable atmospheric conditions. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -6°C to 36°C, with September through November offering the most consistent VFR flying weather.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage for takeoffs and landings. Runway 01/19 spans 6,596 feet, while Runway 14/32 provides 5,896 feet of paved surface, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. The airport's geographic positioning in central Texas contributes to its relatively stable meteorological environment.
Approach Considerations
Crosswind conditions are generally mild, averaging 3.3 knots for Runway 01/19 and 4.7 knots for Runway 14/32. Visibility typically exceeds 9.6 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (below 3SM occurring in only 1.1% of observations). Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions with low probability of fog or severe weather disruptions.
