Weather Briefing
MVFRMonterey Peninsula Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,000 feet and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 6 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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. 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.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Monterey Peninsula Airport
Overview
Monterey Peninsula Airport serves the central California coastal region, located at 36.587002, -121.843002 with an elevation of 257 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways: a shorter 3,513-foot runway (10L/28R) and a longer 7,616-foot runway (10R/28L), accommodating various general aviation and regional commercial aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KMRY are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 67.3% of observations in VFR conditions. East winds prevail at an average of 5.3 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 24 knots. Temperature ranges from 3°C to 29°C, with an average of 13.8°C, and visibility typically excellent at 9.2 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location influences its microclimate, with frequent wind patterns and potential marine layer developments. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components of 2.5 knots. Pilots should anticipate potential fog conditions, which occur in approximately 3.5% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Winter months (November, December, January) offer the most consistent VFR conditions for arrivals and departures. With calm winds present in 25.5% of observations, pilots should be prepared for variable wind conditions. The longer runway (10R/28L) provides more flexibility for larger aircraft and potentially challenging approach scenarios.
