Weather Briefing
VFRJack Brooks Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 12 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Jack Brooks Regional Airport
Overview
Jack Brooks Regional Airport serves the Beaumont/Port Arthur metropolitan area in southeast Texas, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Located at an elevation of 15 feet MSL, the airport offers two runways suitable for various aircraft operations, including the primary 6,750-foot concrete runway 12/30 and the 5,070-foot partially engineered material runway 16/34.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KBPT demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 73.2% of observations. Pilots should anticipate potential marginal conditions, as MVFR and IFR conditions occur in 21% of recorded observations. The airport experiences a temperature range from -2°C to 34°C, with prevailing southerly winds averaging 7.3 knots and occasional gusts up to 26 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location near the Gulf of Mexico influences its meteorological characteristics, with fog occurring in 11.8% of observations. Both runways demonstrate 100% wind compatibility, suggesting flexible operational capabilities. The low elevation and proximity to coastal terrain create potential for rapid weather changes and reduced visibility conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal visual flying conditions during autumn months (September, October, November), with consistently favorable wind alignments for both runways. Crosswind components remain relatively modest, averaging 5.3 knots for runway 12/30 and 4.2 knots for runway 16/34. Standard preflight weather briefings are crucial due to the potential for rapid meteorological transitions in this coastal environment.
