Weather Briefing
MVFRLynn Lake Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,800 feet.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 15 knots with gusts to 24 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component (gusting to 15 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -5°C (23°F) with a dewpoint of -6°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Snow, Light Snow, Light Ice Pellets, Mist, Light Snow, Mist, Light Snow, FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 22 knots during the period. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow, Light Ice Pellets, Mist between 07:00Z and 09:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow between 09:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow, FCST, FCST between 15:00Z and 19:00Z.
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 Lynn Lake Airport
Overview
Lynn Lake Airport serves the remote northern community of Lynn Lake in Manitoba, Canada, located at coordinates 56.863899, -101.075996. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 1170 ft MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for a region characterized by challenging northern terrain and climate conditions.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect variable weather conditions, with 45.3% VFR, 41.2% MVFR, and 11.6% IFR days throughout the year. The airport experiences significant temperature fluctuations, ranging from -37°C to 21°C, with an average temperature of -14.8°C. Wind patterns are predominantly northwest at 315°, with an average speed of 7.9 knots and occasional gusts up to 24 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 2520-foot gravel runway (08/26) and a 5000-foot asphalt runway (17/35). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with average crosswinds of 5.4 knots for 08/26 and 4.7 knots for 17/35. Visibility averages 7.7 statute miles, with only 5.9% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should note September, December, and January offer the best VFR conditions for operations. The prevailing northwest winds and dual runway configuration provide flexibility for approach and departure. With minimal fog (0.3% of observations) and consistent wind patterns, Lynn Lake Airport offers reliable access to this northern region.
