Weather Briefing
MVFRSpriggs Payne Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,400 feet and 9 km visibility. Note: This observation is 2.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 9 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,400 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Spriggs Payne Airport
Overview
Spriggs Payne Airport serves as a critical medium-sized airport located in Monrovia, Liberia. Situated at an elevation of 25 feet above mean sea level, the airport plays a significant role in supporting regional and domestic aviation operations in Liberia's capital city.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 25 ft MSL suggests a coastal environment typical of Monrovia, which can experience high humidity and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including occasional low visibility and wind shifts associated with coastal atmospheric patterns.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (05/23) with an asphalted surface measuring 6000 feet in length. Its geographical coordinates at 6.289060, -10.758700 place it in a coastal region, which may introduce specific navigational and meteorological considerations for incoming and outgoing aircraft.
Approach Considerations
The 6000-foot runway allows for operations of medium-sized aircraft, with approaches potentially influenced by the coastal orientation. Runway 05/23 provides directional flexibility dependent on prevailing wind conditions, with pilots advised to monitor local wind patterns during approach and departure planning.
