Weather Briefing
IFRKenosha Regional Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 600 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 6 knots. Runway 07L/25R is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°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 23 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 01:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Kenosha Regional Airport
Overview
Kenosha Regional Airport serves southeastern Wisconsin as a medium-sized airport located near the city of Kenosha. Situated at 742 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with three concrete runways accommodating various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 77.7% of the time, with moderate visibility averaging 28.8 statute miles. Temperature ranges from -21°C to 31°C, with western winds prevailing at an average of 9.1 knots, creating generally stable flight conditions. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with different orientations, providing flexibility for wind conditions and aircraft types. Runway 07L/25R is the longest at 6,600 feet of concrete surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff options. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment with minimal average crosswind between 5-6.3 knots.
Approach Considerations
With consistent western prevailing winds, pilots can anticipate predictable approach conditions across all runways. The long primary runway (07L/25R) provides optimal landing opportunities, particularly during winds matching its orientation. Low IFR conditions occur infrequently at only 6.3% of observations, suggesting generally reliable visual approach potential.
