Weather Briefing
VFRWindsor Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 15,000 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 5 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 13000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 22 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, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Light Showers Rain, Mist, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Thunderstorm Rain, FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 25 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 08:00Z and 09:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 09:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
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 Windsor Airport
Overview
Windsor Airport serves the Windsor, Ontario region as a medium-sized airport located at 42.275600, -82.955597. The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 9000ft runway (07/25) and a secondary 5150ft runway (12/30), providing flexible operational capabilities at an elevation of 622 feet MSL.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Windsor Airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 61.2% of observations indicating good visibility. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -19°C to 31°C, with an average temperature of 4.4°C. Pilots should anticipate westerly winds averaging 10.7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 38 knots and calm periods occurring 4.2% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration allows for optimal wind alignment, with both runways demonstrating 100% favorable wind conditions. Average crosswind components are moderate, measuring 5.5 knots for runway 07/25 and 7.3 knots for runway 12/30. Visibility averages 7.9 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (below 3 miles occurring only 2.3% of the time).
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months at Windsor Airport. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility during 30.1% of observations classified as marginal VFR, and 8.6% of times when instrument flight rules are in effect. The predominant westerly winds suggest runway 07/25 will typically provide the most favorable approach conditions.
