Weather Briefing
MVFRTyndall Air Force Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,400 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 12 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 17:00Z and 20:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Tyndall Air Force Base
Tyndall 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
Tyndall Air Force Base (KPAM) is a medium airport located near Panama City, Florida, serving military aviation operations. Situated at a low elevation of 17 feet MSL, the base provides strategic capabilities for air defense and training missions in the southeastern United States.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 80.7% of the time, with the most favorable flying weather occurring in October, September, and November. The base experiences a moderate temperature range from 0°C to 33°C, with an average of 18.2°C, and typically calm winds at 12.1% of observations, with prevailing northerly winds averaging 7.4 knots.
Notable Features
Both primary runways (13L/31R and 13R/31L) offer excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and consistent average crosswinds of 5 knots. The airport's location near the Gulf Coast provides relatively stable visibility, with an average of 9.5 statute miles and minimal occurrences of visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can anticipate good approach conditions with only 4.4% IFR and 4% LIFR reports. The parallel runway configuration allows for flexible operations, with both runways 13L/31R (10,004 ft concrete) and 13R/31L (9,135 ft pavement) providing substantial landing options with consistent wind characteristics.
