Weather Briefing
VFRCox Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 5,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 28 knots with gusts to 42 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 28-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component. These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.

About Cox Field
Overview
Cox Field is a medium airport located in Paris, Texas, serving the northeastern region of the state. Situated at an elevation of 547 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area with three concrete and asphalt runways accommodating various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at Cox Field, with 71.5% of observations indicating clear flying weather. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -9°C to 35°C, with an average of 15.2°C. Visibility is generally excellent, averaging 9.3 statute miles, though pilots should be aware of occasional reduced visibility periods affecting 2.5% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways: two 4,624-foot concrete runways (03/21 and 14/32) and one 6,002-foot asphalt runway (17/35). Prevailing winds are from the south at 180 degrees, with an average speed of 7.7 knots and occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Calm wind conditions occur 7.9% of the time.
Approach Considerations
All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 4 to 4.9 knots. September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions for pilots. Approach planning should consider the potential for occasional fog and reduced visibility, which affects approximately 2.1% of observations.
