Weather Briefing

VFR

Centralia / James T. Field Memorial Aerodrome is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,000 feet and 6 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 6 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 SM. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 20 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, Showers Rain, Mist, Mist, Light Drizzle, Mist, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain, Mist between 04:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 05:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Drizzle, Mist between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Centralia / James T. Field Memorial Aerodrome

Overview

Centralia / James T. Field Memorial Aerodrome (CYCE) is a medium airport located in Huron Park, Ontario, Canada. Situated at an elevation of 824 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the local aviation community with two asphalt runways. Its strategic location provides important infrastructure for general aviation and regional transportation in southwestern Ontario.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 824 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment typical of the Ontario region. Pilots can expect variable weather conditions influenced by the area's continental climate, with potential seasonal challenges ranging from summer thermal activity to winter precipitation. The two perpendicular runway configurations (10/28 and 16/34) offer flexibility for managing different wind conditions.

Notable Features

Centralia / James T. Field Memorial Aerodrome features two asphalt runways with substantial lengths: Runway 10/28 measuring 5,012 feet and Runway 16/34 measuring 4,400 feet. These runway dimensions accommodate a variety of aircraft types and provide multiple approach options. The airport's coordinate location at 43.285599, -81.508301 places it in a relatively flat geographical area typical of southwestern Ontario.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should be prepared to utilize either runway based on current wind conditions, with Runway 10/28 offering the longer surface at 5,012 feet. The parallel runway configurations provide operational flexibility for different wind vectors. Standard approach procedures should be followed, with careful attention to local terrain and potential wind variations characteristic of the region.
