Weather Briefing
MVFRWynyard Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 5 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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. 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: Light Showers Rain, Fog. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 23:00Z and 02:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 18:00Z and 23:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Wynyard Airport
Overview
Wynyard Airport serves the northwestern region of Tasmania, providing critical aviation infrastructure for Burnie and surrounding areas. Located at coordinates -40.997039, 145.726000, the airport sits at an elevation of 62 feet mean sea level and supports regional transportation and potential commercial/general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Tasmania's coastal environment typically presents variable wind conditions that pilots should anticipate when operating at Wynyard Airport. The airport's two runways - a 2,516-foot paved runway (05/23) and a 5,413-foot asphalted runway (09/27) - offer multiple landing options to accommodate different wind directions and aircraft types.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with significant length variations between the two runways. The longer 09/27 runway at 5,413 feet can accommodate larger aircraft, while the shorter 05/23 runway offers an additional operational option for smaller aircraft or during specific wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend primarily on wind direction, with the 09/27 runway offering the longest approach option. Pilots should carefully assess prevailing wind conditions and utilize the runway most aligned with current meteorological circumstances, considering the airport's coastal location and potential wind variability.
