Weather Briefing
MVFRSelfridge Air National Guard Base Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 23,000 feet and 4 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 5 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 23000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 30 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: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain.
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.

About Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport
Overview
Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport serves as a critical military aviation facility located in Mount Clemens, Michigan. Situated at 580 feet above mean sea level, the airport primarily supports Air National Guard operations with a substantial 9,000-foot primary runway (01/19). Its strategic location near Detroit provides a key infrastructure point for regional military aviation activities.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 69.2% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Seasonal temperature variations range dramatically from -20°C to 30°C, creating diverse flying environments throughout the year. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 28 knots, and calm conditions occurring 8.9% of the time.
Notable Features
The single runway (01/19) is equipped with a Pavement Edge Marking (PEM) surface, providing clear operational boundaries for aircraft. Wind data indicates a highly favorable runway alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 6.1 knots. September through November represent the most consistently favorable flying months based on historical meteorological data.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages an excellent 9.1 statute miles, with infrequent low-visibility events (below 3SM occurring only 2.5% of observations). Pilots should anticipate potential fog conditions, which manifest in approximately 1.5% of observations. The prevailing westerly winds and substantial runway length provide reliable approach and departure options for most aircraft configurations.
