Weather Briefing

MVFR

Theodore Francis Green State Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 11,000 feet and 4 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 8 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 11,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Mist, Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 08:00Z and 11:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Theodore Francis Green State Airport

Overview

Theodore Francis Green State Airport serves as a key aviation facility in Warwick, Rhode Island, located at 41.725038, -71.425668. Situated at an elevation of 55 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the greater Providence metropolitan area. As a large airport, it supports commercial, general aviation, and potentially military operational needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 55 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potentially moderate wind and weather variability. Rhode Island's coastal location can introduce maritime atmospheric conditions that pilots should anticipate, particularly during seasonal transitions. The two asphalt runways offer flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types.

Notable Features

Theodore Francis Green State Airport features two primary runways: Runway 05/23 at 8,700 feet and Runway 16/34 at 6,081 feet, both constructed with asphalt surface. The substantial length of the primary runway (05/23) accommodates a wide range of aircraft categories and operational requirements. Its geographic positioning provides accessibility to the Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts transportation corridors.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind directions, with the two runway orientations (05/23 and 16/34) providing crosswind landing options. The 8,700-foot primary runway offers significant operational flexibility for larger aircraft and provides ample landing and takeoff distances. Pilots should conduct standard preflight wind and weather assessments to determine the most appropriate runway for their specific approach.
