Weather Briefing
IFRZanesville Municipal Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 100 feet and 2 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2 SM. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 100 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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 24 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, Fog, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 05:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

About Zanesville Municipal Airport
Overview
Zanesville Municipal Airport serves the transportation needs of Muskingum County in southeastern Ohio. Located at an elevation of 900 feet MSL, the airport provides critical general aviation infrastructure for the Zanesville metropolitan area. The airport features two parallel paved runways capable of supporting a variety of aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate highly favorable flying conditions, with 65.6% of recorded periods reporting VFR conditions. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds averaging 7.3 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 26 knots. Temperature ranges from -17°C to 31°C suggest significant seasonal variation, with October, September, and November presenting the most consistently stable flying weather.
Notable Features
Both runways (04/22 and 16/34) are nearly identical in length at approximately 5,000 feet, providing flexible operational capabilities. The airport demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with both runways showing 100% favorable wind conditions and relatively low average crosswind components of 4.4 and 5.1 knots respectively. The airport's mid-elevation and geographical location contribute to predictable meteorological patterns.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with only 2.3% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced conditions, with fog present in 1.4% of observations. The consistent westerly wind pattern suggests runway 04/22 will typically offer the most favorable approach conditions, though both runways provide reliable access.
