Weather Briefing

VFR

Ontario International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,100 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 27 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ontario International Airport

Overview

Ontario International Airport serves the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, positioned in San Bernardino County, California. As a large airport situated at 944 feet above mean sea level, KONT provides critical commercial and cargo aviation services for the Inland Empire region. The airport's strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure make it a significant transportation hub in Southern California.

Flying Conditions

Southern California's climate offers generally stable weather conditions with minimal precipitation and consistent visibility. Pilots can expect moderate temperature variations and typically clear skies, though occasional marine layer influences from coastal systems can impact morning visibility. The airport's elevation at 944 feet MSL provides relatively straightforward atmospheric conditions for most flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial concrete runways: 08L/26R at 12,198 feet and 08R/26L at 10,200 feet, providing extensive operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its geographic positioning near the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain ranges presents potential wind gradient and terrain interaction considerations for approaching and departing aircraft. The airport's coordinate location at 34.056000, -117.600998 places it within a complex regional airspace system.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientations of 08/26 suggest predominant west-southwest wind patterns typical of the region. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods. The substantial runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft, from regional commuters to larger commercial and cargo platforms, enabling versatile approach and departure strategies.
