Weather Briefing
VFRAnderson Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 5 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 21 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

Located at coordinates 34.494598, -82.709396, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting various general aviation and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at 75.8% of observation periods, with moderate chances of MVFR at 12%. Weather data indicates a western prevailing wind at 270° with an average speed of 6.9 knots, and temperatures ranging from -8°C to 32°C. October, September, and November represent the most favorable VFR months, offering the most consistent flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 at 6,002 feet and Runway 17/35 at 4,995 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind interference (2.9kt for 05/23 and 5.7kt for 17/35). Visibility averages 9.1 statute miles, with infrequent restrictions, as only 2.8% of observations show visibility below 3 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Wind conditions strongly favor both primary runways, allowing flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate calm wind conditions approximately 29.9% of the time. During approach, be prepared for potential reduced visibility scenarios, as fog occurs in 4.9% of observations, though this remains a relatively low occurrence.
