Weather Briefing
VFRStockton Metropolitan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 13 knots with gusts to 18 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component (gusting to 9 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C, indicating very dry 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.

About Stockton Metropolitan Airport
Overview
Stockton Metropolitan Airport serves the Central Valley region of California, located near the city of Stockton. As a medium-sized airport with two parallel asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the area, supporting general aviation, commercial, and potentially military operations at a low elevation of 33 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 64.4% of the time, with MVFR and IFR conditions occurring in approximately 25.7% of observations. Southeast winds averaging 6.2 knots are typical, with a maximum recorded wind speed of 28 knots and calm conditions 25% of the time. Temperature ranges from 0°C to 37°C, with an average of 13.7°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature variations.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 11L/29R at 10,650 feet and 11R/29L at 4,454 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of just 3 knots. The low elevation and Central Valley location suggest minimal terrain complications for arrivals and departures.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and January represent the best months for VFR flying, with optimal weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate occasional fog (10.9% of observations) and reduced visibility events, with 6.5% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles. The consistent southeast wind and long primary runway (11L/29R) provide reliable approach and departure options.
