Weather Briefing
VFRTexas Gulf Coast Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,400 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 11 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 4400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°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.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport
Overview
Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport serves the Angleton area, situated at 25 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 29.108601, -95.462097. The airport features a single runway (17/35) measuring 7,000 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting medium airport operations in a coastal Texas environment.
Flying Conditions
Weather at this airport predominantly supports Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 76.2% of observations in VFR and 13.8% in Marginal VFR. Pilots can expect significant seasonal variations, with temperatures ranging from -3°C to 33°C and an average of 20°C. Visibility averages 8.7 statute miles, though fog occurs in 12.8% of observations and visibility can drop below 3 miles in 4.5% of cases.
Notable Features
The airport experiences consistent southern winds, with prevailing winds from 180 degrees at an average of 7.1 knots and occasional gusts up to 23 knots. Calm wind conditions occur in 27.5% of observations, providing relatively stable atmospheric conditions for pilots. The coastal location likely influences wind patterns and weather variability.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35 offers favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind of only 3.1 knots. September, October, and November represent the best months for VFR flying, characterized by the most stable weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential fog and prepare for occasional reduced visibility, particularly during transitional seasons.
