Weather Briefing
VFRGreenbrier Valley Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 9 knots with gusts to 18 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component (gusting to 14 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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, Fog.
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 Greenbrier Valley Airport
Overview
Greenbrier Valley Airport serves the Lewisburg area in West Virginia as a medium-sized airport positioned at 2,302 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 37.857914, -80.400438, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the regional transportation network in a mountainous terrain environment.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly favorable VFR conditions 71% of the time, with marginal VFR conditions occurring 22.7% of observation periods. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at 270 degrees with an average speed of 6.8 knots, though occasional gusts up to 47 knots are possible. Temperatures range dramatically from -17°C to 28°C, with September through November presenting the most stable flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (04/22) measuring 7,004 feet with an asphalt surface, capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Terrain surrounding the airport suggests potential for challenging wind conditions and potential mechanical turbulence, particularly given the mountainous regional topography. Wind data indicates calm conditions approximately 9% of the time.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 4.6 knots. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility reductions, as 2.6% of observations report fog and 2.1% show visibility below 3 statute miles. Standard preparation for mountain airport operations, including careful wind assessment and terrain awareness, is recommended.
