Weather Briefing

MVFR

Cecil Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,800 feet and 5 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 10 knots. Runway 18L/36R is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 SM. The ceiling is 3800 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 21 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 07:00Z 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 Cecil Airport

Overview

Cecil Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Jacksonville, Florida, serving as an important regional aviation facility. Situated at 81 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides strategic access to Northeast Florida with four substantial runways ranging from 8,002 to 12,504 feet in length. Its geographic positioning and runway infrastructure make it suitable for various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Cecil Airport demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating 70.8% of observed periods. Pilots can expect northerly winds averaging 7.4 knots, with calm conditions occurring 47.1% of the time. Temperature ranges from -8°C to 34°C, and visibility typically exceeds 9 statute miles, though fog occurs in 13% of observations and conditions can drop below 3 miles in 4% of cases.

Notable Features

The airport features four parallel runways with precision pavement (PEM) surfaces, offering multiple operational configurations. All four runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind conditions ranging from 4.1 to 5.1 knots. The extensive runway lengths, particularly the 12,504-foot Runway 18L/36R, accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

Seasonal considerations suggest September, November, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. With multiple runways available, pilots have flexible approach options that align well with prevailing wind patterns. The airport's weather profile indicates instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) occur in approximately 29.2% of observations, recommending thorough pre-flight weather briefings and alternate planning.
