Weather Briefing
VFRNew York Stewart International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 7,500 feet and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 10 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 7,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 26 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 20 knots.

About New York Stewart International Airport
Overview
New York Stewart International Airport serves the Newburgh region, positioned strategically in New York's Hudson Valley at 491 feet mean sea level. As a medium airport with two substantial asphalt runways, Stewart provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northeastern United States. The airport's location and dual runway configuration support diverse aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Stewart experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 82.5% of observations indicating favorable visual flight rules. Westerly winds dominate at 270 degrees with an average speed of 9.7 knots, though wind speeds can occasionally reach up to 94 knots. Temperature variation is significant, ranging from -17°C to 29°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 09/27 at 11,818 feet and Runway 16/34 at 6,006 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.3 knots and 7.2 knots respectively. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning in the Hudson Valley contribute to its unique meteorological characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent wind conditions for both runways, with consistent favorable wind alignments. September, November, and January represent the best months for VFR operations, based on historical meteorological data. Visibility averages 8.8 statute miles, with only 2.5% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence at 1.4%.
