Weather Briefing
IFRWorcester Regional Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 6,000 feet and 3 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 3 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 21 hours. Conditions are expected to remain LIFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Heavy Showers Rain, Mist, Light Showers Rain, Mist.
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. 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 Worcester Regional Airport
Overview
Worcester Regional Airport serves central Massachusetts as a medium-sized airport located in Worcester at 1,009 feet above mean sea level. Situated at coordinates 42.267300, -71.875702, the airport provides aviation services for the greater Worcester metropolitan region. Its two asphalt runways—11/29 at 7,000 feet and 15/33 at 5,000 feet—support various general aviation and commercial operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Worcester Regional demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 73.6% of the time. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds averaging 9.4 knots, with potential gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature ranges from -16°C to 26°C, indicating substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation at 1,009 feet MSL places it in a moderately elevated terrain environment. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 5.5 knots for runway 11/29 and 7.2 knots for runway 15/33. Visibility typically averages 9.1 statute miles, with occasional reduced visibility periods affecting approximately 3.9% of observations.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, with IFR and LIFR conditions combining to represent approximately 14.7% of observed weather patterns. Calm wind conditions occur in 3.5% of observations, suggesting generally stable wind environments for approach and departure.
