Weather Briefing
VFRMcAllen Miller International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 10 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About McAllen Miller International Airport
Overview
McAllen Miller International Airport serves the Rio Grande Valley region in southern Texas, strategically located near the US-Mexico border. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the McAllen metropolitan area, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with nearly 78% of observations indicating clear flying weather. Winds are consistently from the southeast at an average of 7.9 knots, with maximum gusts up to 32 knots. Seasonal temperature variations range from 4°C to 38°C, with September, October, and January offering the most stable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
Situated at an elevation of 107 feet mean sea level, McAllen Miller International features two parallel runways with favorable wind alignment. Runway 13/31 extends 7,120 feet, while Runway 18/36 provides a shorter 2,638-foot option. Both runways demonstrate consistent wind favorability and relatively low average crosswind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent wind conditions for both runways, with 100% favorable wind alignment and minimal crosswind interference. Visibility averages 9.4 statute miles, with less than 1% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Fog is infrequent, occurring in only 1.2% of observations, which generally supports reliable approach and landing conditions.
