Weather Briefing
MVFROdate Noshiro Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (270°) at 5 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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 Odate Noshiro Airport
Overview
Odate Noshiro Airport serves the Kitaakita region in northern Japan, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 292 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 40.191898, 140.371002, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area, with a single runway 11/29 measuring 6,562 feet in length and constructed of asphalt.
Flying Conditions
Weather at Odate Noshiro Airport demonstrates significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 52.7% of the time. Pilots can expect challenging conditions during winter and early spring, with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR) collectively occurring 34.2% of observation periods. The airport experiences predominantly westerly winds averaging 7.3 knots, with temperature ranges from -6°C to 29°C.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 11/29 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of only 3.7 knots. The airport's elevation and location suggest a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the northern Japanese landscape, which can contribute to predictable wind patterns and approach conditions.
Approach Considerations
Optimal VFR flying conditions occur during autumn months, specifically October, September, and November, offering pilots the most consistent weather patterns. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility, though pilots should be prepared for occasional fog events occurring in approximately 14.7% of observations. The westerly wind prevalence suggests runway 29 may offer more direct headwind approaches.
