Weather Briefing
VFRWestchester County Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 5,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 7 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 5,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 22 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. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 20 knots. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations

About Westchester County Airport
Overview
Westchester County Airport serves the greater New York metropolitan area, located in White Plains, NY. As a medium-sized airport situated at 439 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical general aviation and regional commercial services. Its strategic location and dual runway configuration make it an important transportation hub for Westchester County and surrounding regions.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KHPN are predominantly VFR, with 84.4% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 8.3 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 28 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -12°C to 29°C, which can impact aircraft performance and fuel considerations.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 11/29 at 4,451 feet and Runway 16/34 at 6,548 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 3.8 and 5.2 knots respectively. The geographical coordinates (41.067001, -73.707603) position the airport in a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the New York metropolitan region.
Approach Considerations
November, September, and December represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. With an average visibility of 9.4 statute miles and only 3.2% of observations reporting fog, approaches are generally straightforward. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility conditions, which occur in approximately 2.3% of observations with visibility below 3 statute miles.
