Weather Briefing
VFREstevan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 500 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 12 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: Mist, FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 25 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 12:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with FCST, FCST between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Estevan Airport
Overview
Estevan Airport serves the southeastern Saskatchewan region, located at 49.210300, -102.966003 near the city of Estevan. As a medium airport situated at 1905 ft MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for local and regional transportation needs. The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 5000ft runway (08/26) and a secondary 3000ft runway (15/33).
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Estevan Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 57.1% of the time. The airport experiences considerable temperature ranges from -33°C to 30°C, with an average temperature of -4.2°C. Predominant winds from the northwest (315°) average 11.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 41 knots. September, October, and November offer the most consistently favorable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate 100% wind favorability, with Runway 08/26 experiencing an average crosswind of 7.7 knots and Runway 15/33 experiencing 5.7 knots. Visibility averages 7.6 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for reduced visibility, with 5.4% of observations showing less than 3 statute miles and 3.3% experiencing fog conditions. The airport's elevation and geographical positioning contribute to its diverse meteorological characteristics.
Approach Considerations
When planning approaches, pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility and temperature-related challenges. The northwest prevailing winds suggest Runway 08/26 may offer more consistent wind alignment. With instrument meteorological conditions occurring in approximately 19.7% of observations (IFR and LIFR combined), pilots should be prepared for potential instrument approach requirements and have appropriate alternates planned.
