Weather Briefing
LIFRMid-Way Regional Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 200 feet and 4 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 5 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is very low at 200 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

The airport provides a medium-sized facility for general aviation operations, strategically located with coordinates 32.458700, -96.912399. Its single runway 18/36 offers a 5000-foot asphalt surface for pilot operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate highly favorable VFR conditions 83.9% of the time, with only 5.7% of periods presenting challenging instrument meteorological conditions. The airport experiences predominantly southern winds at an average of 7.1 knots, with temperatures ranging from -7°C to 36°C. September, October, and January represent the most consistent VFR flying months with optimal weather conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 18/36 demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with prevailing winds favorable 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 2.7 knots. Visibility consistently remains strong, averaging 9.1 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility (below 3SM in only 1.1% of observations). Calm wind conditions are present 15.8% of the time, providing predictable flight environments.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect reliable approach conditions with consistently clear weather patterns. The runway's orientation and wind statistics suggest minimal wind-related approach challenges, with southern winds predominating. Careful attention to temperature variations and potential marginal conditions during winter and summer months is recommended for safe operations.
