Weather Briefing
MVFRDeKalb Peachtree Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 6,000 feet and 3 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 3 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 6,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 22 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: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 11:00Z and 13:00Z.
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 DeKalb Peachtree Airport
Overview
DeKalb Peachtree Airport serves the metropolitan Atlanta area as a critical general aviation and business aviation facility. Located at 33.876330, -84.302130 with an elevation of 1,003 feet MSL, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the region. Its four runways accommodate a diverse range of aircraft operations, with runway lengths varying from 3,383 to 6,001 feet.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at PDK demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 69.6% of observed conditions. Seasonal transitions in September, October, and November offer the most stable flying weather, characterized by minimal precipitation and favorable wind patterns. The prevailing northwest winds at an average of 6.9 knots, with calm conditions 40% of the time, provide generally predictable flying environments.
Notable Features
The airport's strategic location near Atlanta provides convenient access to urban and surrounding aerial infrastructure. With multiple runway orientations (09/27, 16/34, 3L/21R, 3R/21L), pilots can optimize takeoff and landing approaches based on current wind conditions. All runways are paved with asphalt (ASP) or concrete (CON), ensuring consistent surface quality across different operational areas.
Approach Considerations
Wind data indicates exceptionally favorable wind alignments for both primary runway configurations, with 100% favorable wind coverage for 09/27 and 16/34 runways. Average crosswind components remain low at 4.3 and 4.1 knots respectively, facilitating predictable approach and landing scenarios. Pilots should anticipate temperature ranges from -8°C to 33°C and typical visibility around 8.8 statute miles, with occasional reduced visibility periods.
