Weather Briefing
VFRNortheast Iowa Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,800 feet and 7 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 SM. The ceiling is 4800 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°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.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Northeast Iowa Regional Airport
Overview
Northeast Iowa Regional Airport serves Charles City and Floyd County as a medium-sized regional airport situated at 1125 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for northeast Iowa, offering three runways that support general aviation and regional transportation needs. Its strategic location enables access to an important agricultural and rural transportation network.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 69.9% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring 16.1% of observations. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -29°C to 33°C, which can impact aircraft performance and operations. Northwestern winds prevail at an average of 9.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 33 knots, creating potential crosswind challenges during approach and landing.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with diverse surface compositions: two grass (GRS) runways at 04/22 (2536ft) and 17/35 (1780ft), and one concrete (CON) runway at 12/30 (4001ft). All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, which provides pilots flexible operational options. The relatively flat terrain of northeast Iowa contributes to consistent wind patterns and predictable approach conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30, being the longest at 4001 feet and concrete surfaced, offers the most robust landing option with the lowest average crosswind of 4.5 knots. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios, with 4.4% of observations involving fog and 2.3% experiencing visibility below 3 statute miles.
