Weather Briefing

IFR

Concord Municipal Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,400 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 5 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Rain, Light Rain, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 12:00Z and 16:00Z.

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 Concord Municipal Airport

Overview

Concord Municipal Airport serves the Concord, New Hampshire region as a medium-sized airport situated at 342 feet above mean sea level. The airport features three asphalt runways ranging from 3,200 to 6,005 feet in length, accommodating various aircraft types and operational needs. Its strategic location and multiple runway configurations make it a significant regional aviation facility.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 71% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from -22°C to 30°C, with an average of 3.9°C. Wind patterns are characterized by northwest prevailing winds at an average of 6.9 knots, with calm conditions occurring 38.5% of the time. September, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months.

Notable Features

The airport's three runways offer comprehensive wind coverage, with each runway experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions. Runway 17/35, the longest at 6,005 feet, provides the most extensive operational flexibility. Average crosswind components remain relatively modest, ranging from 3.2 to 5.4 knots across the runways, which supports stable approach and departure conditions.

Approach Considerations

Visibility averages 8.9 statute miles, with only 4.1% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during the 3.8% of observations with fog conditions. The northwest prevailing winds suggest runway 03/21 and 17/35 may frequently offer the most direct wind alignment, though all runways demonstrate consistent wind favorability.
