Weather Briefing
LIFRNortheast Philadelphia Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,000 feet and 0.141 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 8 knots with gusts to 21 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.141 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 22 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Showers Rain, Mist, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain, Mist between 02:00Z and 05:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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 Northeast Philadelphia Airport
Overview
Northeast Philadelphia Airport serves as a critical general aviation facility located in the northeastern quadrant of Philadelphia. Situated at 120 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the metropolitan area. Its medium-sized classification and two paved runways support diverse aircraft operations in the greater Philadelphia region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with approximately 79% of observations reporting clear weather. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -15°C to 30°C, which demands careful preflight planning and consideration of performance impacts. Wind conditions are primarily western, averaging 8.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 28 knots and calm periods occurring 16.2% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel asphalt runways: Runway 06/24 at 7,000 feet and Runway 15/33 at 5,000 feet. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and modest average crosswind components of 4.9 and 5.8 knots respectively. The airport's geographical positioning provides relatively consistent wind patterns that support predictable approach and departure conditions.
Approach Considerations
Seasonal considerations reveal November, September, and October as the most favorable VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility (below 3 miles in only 1.7% of observations). Pilots should anticipate potential marginal conditions, with IFR and LIFR conditions collectively representing approximately 6.6% of recorded weather observations.
