Weather Briefing
VFRMansfield Lahm Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 7 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°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. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 23:00Z and 03:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport
Overview
Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport serves as a significant medium-sized airport located in Mansfield, Ohio, situated at an elevation of 1,297 feet MSL. The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: a 6,795-foot runway (05/23) and a 9,001-foot runway (14/32), providing versatile operational capabilities for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 56.7% of observations reporting VFR conditions and an additional 27.8% showing marginal VFR. The wind profile is characterized by westerly prevailing winds at an average of 9 knots, with temperature ranges from -21°C to 29°C. September, October, and November historically offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runways provide excellent wind coverage, with both 05/23 and 14/32 demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignments. Average crosswind components are relatively mild, measuring 4.9 knots for runway 05/23 and 6.5 knots for runway 14/32. Visibility averages 8.6 statute miles, with only 4.4% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the airport's consistent westerly wind patterns and robust runway infrastructure. With low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (15.4% combined IFR and LIFR), pilots can generally expect good approach visibility. Fog is present in only 2.6% of observations, further supporting consistent operational reliability.
