Weather Briefing

VFR

North Bay Jack Garland Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 28,000 feet and 30 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 5 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 30 SM. The ceiling is 28000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 12 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, FCST, FCST. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 08:00Z and 11:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 North Bay Jack Garland Airport

Overview

North Bay Jack Garland Airport serves the North Bay region of Ontario, Canada, situated at an elevation of 1215 ft MSL. The airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with three runways offering substantial operational flexibility, including a primary 10,000 ft asphalt runway capable of handling larger aircraft.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at CYYB demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions present 44.4% of the time and MVFR conditions occurring 30% of observations. Temperature ranges extensively from -31°C to 27°C, with an average of -2.1°C, indicating potential challenging winter operations and substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with different surface compositions: two asphalt (08/26 and 18/36) and one grass (13/31). Prevailing winds consistently approach from the northwest at 315° with an average speed of 8.3 knots, providing predictable wind patterns for pilots planning approaches and departures.

Approach Considerations

All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with relatively consistent average crosswind components between 4.7 and 5.5 knots. Visibility averages 13.7 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, with 5.7% of observations showing conditions below 3 statute miles and 3.7% experiencing fog.
