Weather Briefing
IFRLogan International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 6 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 6-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 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 27 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 Drizzle, 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.

About Logan International Airport
Overview
Logan International Airport serves as the primary commercial airport for the Boston metropolitan area, located in eastern Massachusetts. Situated at a low elevation of 20 feet MSL, the airport is a critical transportation hub with six runways supporting substantial air traffic. Its strategic coastal location makes it a key gateway for both regional and international flights.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location subjects pilots to variable maritime weather conditions, with potential rapid changes in visibility and wind patterns. Multiple runways (ranging from 2,557 to 10,083 feet) provide operational flexibility across different wind conditions and aircraft types. Proximity to the Atlantic Ocean can introduce marine layer fog and wind shear challenges, particularly during seasonal transitions.
Notable Features
Logan's runway configuration includes six paved runways with lengths accommodating everything from regional jets to wide-body aircraft. The longest runway (15R/33L) extends 10,083 feet, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. The airport's low elevation and complex urban surrounding terrain require precise navigation and awareness of local geographical constraints.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection typically depends on prevailing wind directions, with parallel runway pairs 04L/22R and 04R/22L offering the longest approach surfaces. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability due to the coastal environment and urban heat island effects. The diverse runway lengths provide multiple options for different aircraft performance characteristics and operational requirements.
