Weather Briefing
VFRKake Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,700 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 3700 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kake Airport
Overview
Kake Airport serves the community of Kake in southeastern Alaska, situated at 56.961312, -133.910202. The medium-sized airport operates at an elevation of 172 feet MSL, providing critical transportation infrastructure for this remote Alaskan location. Its single runway 11/29 offers 4000 feet of asphalt surface for aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather patterns at Kake Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.9% of the time. Marginal VFR conditions occur 36.2% of observations, while IFR and Low IFR conditions combine for approximately 14.9% of recorded periods. Easterly winds dominate at 90 degrees, averaging 7.3 knots with occasional gusts up to 24 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic location in southeastern Alaska presents unique challenges with temperature ranges from -17°C to 19°C. Visibility typically remains strong, averaging 9 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for reduced visibility during 3.6% of observations and fog events occurring 4.3% of the time. Autumn months (September, October, November) consistently offer the most favorable VFR conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.7 knots. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations and be prepared for changing visibility and wind conditions typical of Alaska's coastal environment. The airport's consistent wind patterns and substantial 4000-foot runway provide reliable approach options for most aircraft.
