Weather Briefing
VFROffutt Air Force Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 6,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 8 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 6000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 4°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Drizzle. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Drizzle between 02:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Offutt Air Force Base
Offutt Air Force Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the US AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Offutt Air Force Base is a strategic military airfield located in Omaha, Nebraska, serving as a critical installation for the United States Air Force. Situated at an elevation of 1,052 feet MSL, the base supports important military aviation operations with its substantial 11,700-foot runway.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with nearly 74% of observations showing favorable flying weather. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -20°C to 36°C, which can impact aircraft performance. Prevailing winds from the northwest (315°) average 8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 35 knots and calm conditions occurring 17.9% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 12/30 is a long asphalt surface offering excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Visibility is typically good, averaging 9.2 statute miles, though pilots should be aware of occasional reduced visibility events, including fog occurring in 3.6% of observations and visibility below 3 miles in 1.3% of reports.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions for pilots. The runway experiences an average crosswind of just 3.7 knots, providing relatively straightforward approach and landing conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential weather variability, particularly during shoulder seasons when MVFR conditions occur in 14.1% of observations.
