Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Mist.

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 Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport

Overview

Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport serves the greater Houston metropolitan area, strategically located northwest of Houston. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for general aviation, business, and regional transportation needs in Montgomery County, Texas.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 67.2% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 34°C create variable seasonal flying environments, while wind patterns are characterized by southern prevailing winds at an average of 6.2 knots. Pilots should note that October, September, and November offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions.

Notable Features

Situated at 245 feet mean sea level, Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport features two runways: 01/19 at 3,974 feet and 14/32 at 6,000 feet. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind (3.1-3.4 knots). The airport's proximity to Houston provides strategic regional aviation connectivity.

Approach Considerations

Visibility averages 8.8 statute miles, with only 4.6% of observations showing reduced visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional fog events (6.7% of observations) and potential low-level visibility restrictions. The southern prevailing winds suggest runway 01/19 and 14/32 will typically offer consistent approach and departure opportunities with minimal wind-related challenges.
