Weather Briefing
IFRGreater Binghamton/Edwin A Link field is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 5 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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: Mist.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

Positioned near Binghamton, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KBGM demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions prevailing in 53.1% of observations. Pilots can expect challenging conditions during winter and early spring, with temperature ranges from -18°C to 26°C and potential reduced visibility, as evidenced by 6.1% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 10/28 at 5,002 feet and Runway 16/34 at 7,100 feet, providing flexible operational capabilities. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 8.3 knots with occasional gusts up to 29 knots characterize the local wind environment, which pilots should consider during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.7 knots for 10/28 and 5.2 knots for 16/34. September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions, presenting optimal periods for general aviation operations at Greater Binghamton/Edwin A Link field.
