Weather Briefing
VFRNorth Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 9 knots with gusts to 28 knots. The significant gust spread of 19 knots may cause challenging turbulence on approach. Runway 25 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component (gusting to 21 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About North Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport
Overview
North Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport serves the Las Vegas metropolitan area as a crucial general aviation and commercial support facility. Located at 36.210701, -115.194000 with an elevation of 2205 ft MSL, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional air transportation. Its three asphalt runways support diverse aviation operations in the dynamic Las Vegas region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KVGT are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 95% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences consistent northwest winds averaging 6.3 knots, with temperatures ranging from 1°C to 36°C and an average of 16.8°C. Visibility typically remains excellent at 9.9 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility or fog.
Notable Features
The airport features three parallel runways with similar orientations, providing multiple landing options based on wind conditions. All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with modest average crosswind components ranging from 3.2 to 4.8 knots. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning in the Las Vegas basin contribute to generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistent approach conditions with high probability of VFR operations. September, October, and December represent the most stable months for flying, offering optimal weather patterns. The northwest prevailing winds and multiple runway configurations provide flexibility in landing approaches, with minimal wind-related operational constraints.
