Weather Briefing
LIFRWindsor Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 300 feet.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 19 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, Light Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, FCST, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 11:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 13:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 16:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

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.
