Weather Briefing
VFRFour Corners Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 9 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of -12°C, indicating very 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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 6 to 17 knots.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Four Corners Regional Airport
Overview
Four Corners Regional Airport serves the Farmington, New Mexico area as a medium-sized airport located at 5,506 feet mean sea level. Situated at coordinates 36.741199, -108.230003, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the Four Corners region, supporting various general aviation and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KFMN are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 92.5% of observations supporting VFR operations. The airport experiences prevailing easterly winds averaging 6.8 knots, with temperatures ranging from -17°C to 33°C. Seasonal visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 9.8 statute miles, with only 1% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 at 6,500 feet and Runway 07/25 at 6,704 feet. Its high elevation of 5,506 feet MSL requires pilots to carefully consider density altitude, especially during warmer months. The surrounding terrain and elevation suggest potential wind and density altitude challenges for aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Both primary runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (4.2 knots for 05/23 and 3 knots for 07/25). September, October, and December offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared for the high-altitude environment when planning arrivals and departures.
