Weather Briefing
VFRAkron Canton Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 12,000 feet and 8 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 6 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 SM. The ceiling is 12000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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: Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 20:00Z and 23:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 13:00Z.
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 Akron Canton Regional Airport
Overview
Akron Canton Regional Airport serves the greater Akron, Ohio metropolitan area as a strategic medium-sized airport. Located at 1,228 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for northeast Ohio, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations. Its three asphalt runways offer substantial runway length, with the longest two exceeding 7,600 feet.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KCAK demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 61.4% of observations. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 28 knots. Temperature ranges from -19°C to 29°C suggest potential challenging winter and summer operations, with September through November presenting the most consistently favorable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's three runways (01/19, 05/23, and 14/32) provide excellent wind coverage and operational flexibility. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with moderate average crosswind components ranging from 5.1 to 6.5 knots. The elevation of 1,228 feet MSL and geographic coordinates (40.916100, -81.442200) position the airport in a terrain that requires standard mountain/plateau flying considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection should prioritize wind direction, with all three runways offering excellent alignment. The extended runway lengths (both primary runways near 7,600 feet) provide ample landing and takeoff distances for most aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility conditions, as 8.9% of observations report visibility below 3 statute miles, with occasional fog presence at 2.1% of recorded periods.
