Weather Briefing
MVFRLawrence Municipal Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 7 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Lawrence Municipal Airport
Overview
Lawrence Municipal Airport serves the Greater Boston metropolitan area, situated in northeastern Massachusetts. Located at an elevation of 148 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Lawrence region. Its two paved runways support various general aviation and regional aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Lawrence Municipal demonstrate significant VFR reliability, with 74.2% of observations reporting favorable visual flight rules. Seasonal temperature variations are substantial, ranging from -13°C to 28°C, presenting potential density altitude considerations for pilots. Southwest winds predominate at an average of 7.3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 19.5% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 at 5000 feet and Runway 14/32 at 3901 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 3.9 and 5.4 knots respectively. Visibility consistently remains strong, with an average of 9.1 statute miles and minimal occurrences of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
November, September, and December represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions during 25.8% of observations, with IFR and LIFR conditions combining to require advanced flight planning. Wind and visibility patterns generally support predictable approaches and departures across both runway configurations.
