Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 600 ft, scattered at 25,000 ft, few at 600 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Smoke, Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 15 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Smoke, Haze between 06:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 19:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Palm Beach International Airport
Overview
Palm Beach International Airport serves the West Palm Beach metropolitan area as a large airport situated at 19 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 26.683201, -80.095596 in southeastern Florida, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial, general aviation, and potential military operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Being in coastal southeastern Florida, KPBI experiences maritime subtropical weather patterns characterized by potential thunderstorm activity and periodic tropical system influences. Pilots should anticipate variable wind conditions across the three runways, with potential crosswind challenges given the airport's coastal location and relatively low elevation.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with varying lengths: 10L/28R at 10,008 feet, 10R/28L at 3,213 feet, and 14/32 at 6,932 feet, all constructed with asphalt-grooved surfaces. Its multiple runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions, enhancing overall airport resilience and capacity.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend primarily on prevailing wind direction, with the longer 10L/28R runway offering the most comprehensive approach options for larger aircraft. The multiple runway orientations (10/28 and 14/32) provide pilots multiple wind alignment options, which is particularly valuable in the variable coastal environment.
